This is an ordinance that streamlines the conveyance of ownership of homelots under the City Government’s socialized housing programs by granting blanket authority to the City Mayor to execute Deeds of Sale in favor of qualified and fully compliant beneficiaries.
Highlights:
- Purpose: The ordinance aims to promote administrative efficiency, reduce bureaucratic delays, and ensure the timely issuance of ownership documents to beneficiaries of the City Government’s socialized housing programs who have fully paid and complied with all contractual and program requirements.
- Policy Declaration: It declares as a matter of policy the prompt, efficient, and orderly transfer of ownership of homelots to qualified beneficiaries, in furtherance of the City Government’s mandate to provide secure tenure and decent shelter to underprivileged and homeless residents.
- Grant of Blanket Authority: The City Mayor is granted blanket authority to execute Deeds of Sale and related documents for homelots awarded under the City’s socialized housing programs, eliminating the need for repetitive legislative authorization for each individual transaction.
- Qualification and Compliance Requirement: Only beneficiaries who have fully paid the purchase price of their awarded homelots and fully complied with the terms and conditions of their Contracts to Sell or similar agreements are covered by this authority.
- Certification of Compliance: No Deed of Sale may be executed unless the beneficiary is duly certified by the appropriate City office as having fully complied with all contractual, programmatic, and documentary requirements under the applicable housing program.
- Scope and Limitations: The authority granted under the ordinance is strictly limited to homelots already awarded under duly approved socialized housing programs and does not authorize the sale or disposition of other City-owned properties not covered by such programs.
