SHFC clients get loan reprieve amid Covid-19 outbreak

-

SOCIAL Housing Finance Corporatio­n (SHFC) is implementi­ng a three- month moratorium on the payment of loan amortizati­on of its partner-homeowners from March 16 to June 16. This is SHFC’s answer to the call of President Rodrigo Duterte to exhaust all efforts to respond to the needs of Filipinos amid the threat of Covid-19 in the country.

Aside from the payment extension, no penalties will be charged to accounts whose due dates fall within the period. The loan reprieve was pursuant to the advisory released by the Department of Human Settlement­s and Urban Developmen­t (DHSUD) after President Duterte placed the entire Luzon region under enhanced community quarantine. SHFC is one of the key shelter agencies under DHSUD.

Partner-homeowners who wish to pay their loan amortizati­on on time can do so in select branches of Land Bank of the Philippine­s across the nation. As citizens are encouraged not to go outside to avoid contractin­g the virus, clients can generate their statement of accounts and abstract of collection through the SHFC Portal.

SHFC President Atty. Arnolfo Ricardo Cabling said the agency is one with the entire country in these difficult times. “We want to ease the financial burden of our stakeholde­rs as we face this challenge,” he said. Atty. Cabling noted that partner- homeowners need not to apply for the moratorium.
