Moving Forward with National Housing Authority

With the desire to help the homeless people in their plight, the personnel from National Housing Authority came over to SHEC in order to conduct site inspection of the areas to be covered for the proclamation of lots. All of them expressed their willingness to support St. Hannibal Empowerment Center in solving the problem of security of tenure. With their appreciation of the work undertaken by SHEC, they asked if SHEC can extend possible assistance also to other depressed areas. With God's help, such housing projects are on the brink of eventual fulfillment if other agencies will also extend their support and assistance.
