The law creating the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), Republic Act No. 11201, was signed into law by President Rodrigo Duterte on February 14, 2019 with the signing announced to the public by the government on February 19, 2019. The DHSUD was a merger of the HUDCC and the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB), with the former becoming defunct and the latter reorganized as the Human Settlements Adjudication Commission (HSAC). The law was a consolidation of House Bill 6775 and Senate Bill 1578 which were passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate on October 10 and November 12, 2018 respectively.[2] The Implement Rules and Regulations (IRR) for RA 11201 was signed on July 19, 2019. A five month transition period will begin with full implementation of the law on January 1, 2020.[3]

Chairperson

Executive Order No. 20, Series of 2001 effectively elevated the chairperson of the HUDCC as a cabinet official, with the officeholder holding the rank of Secretary, subject to the approval of the Commission on Appointments. However, since the administration of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, it has been designated as the cabinet portfolio of the Vice President of the Philippines, thus needing no confirmation by the Commission on Appointment as stipulated by the Philippine Constitution.[4]

Vice Presidents Noli de Castro and Jejomar Binay headed the agency during their tenures, although Binay resigned from the post before his term as deputy chief executive lapsed.[5] On July 7, 2016, President Rodrigo Duterte appointed Vice President Leni Robredo as chairperson of the HUDCC;[6] however, on December 5, Robredo resigned from the post.[7] She was replaced by Cabinet Secretary, Leoncio Evasco Jr. Gen. Eduardo del Rosario (Ret.), the current chairperson, now heads the council.
