development through a unified housing roadmap. SHDA, the largest and leading industry association for housing and urban development in the country, advocates  for simplifying these procedures by partnering with DHSUD,

sustainable urban development. It also supports the government’s 4PH Program, providing a strategic framework for long-term housing initiatives, the release further states. SHDA Chairman Ar.
