Community empowerment in De La Costa Homes Project

Abstract

The De La Costa Homes Project for average and low income groups has been carried out very well by Freedom to Build in Metro Manila, Philippines. This paper analyzed the characteristics of the project, the development of site planning techniques, and the independent process of the community by decoding the records on residents' administration and residents' rules and the relationship between residents' conditions and the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). We examined the site co-operative management that attempts to connect community empowerment in the residential site for low income people.
