Dinayo ng People’s Caravan ng National Housing Authority (NHA) ang Visayas region at nag-abot ng tulong sa mga benepisyaryong indibidwal.
Mahigit 1,000 Yolanda housing beneficiaries mula sa Banate People’s Village Site 1, 2 at 3 ang kabilang sa mga benepisyaryo ng kauna-unahang caravan.
Ayon kay NHA General Manager Joeben Tai, ang programang ito ay epektibong nagdala ng iba’t ibang serbisyo ng gobyerno tulad ng medikal, scholarship, trabaho, abot-kayang produktong agrikultura, libreng gabay sa mga usaping ligal at iba pa.
Alinsunod sa pangako ng NHA na isulong ang isang progresibong komunidad tungo sa Bagong Pilipinas, layunin ng People’s Caravan na maihatid ang mga nasabing serbisyo sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng bansa.
