Reimagining Affordable Housing: The Klarexville Condo Project Revolutionizes CDO’s Housing Drive

The sun is rising over Cagayan de Oro (CDO), and along with it, a new revolution in affordable housing. The recent groundbreaking ceremony of the socialized condo project, affectionately named ‘Klarexville 1’ by the homeowners association, marks a significant step in Mayor Rolando ‘Klarex’ Uy’s administration's commitment to providing affordable housing to the less privileged. This bold initiative is a testament to the City Hall's commitment to its citizens, as City Administrator Roy Hilario Raagas stated.


Raagas further highlighted the administration's dedication by announcing a similar socialized housing initiative in Barangay Lumbia. This double-pronged approach to tackling housing issues illustrates a steadfast commitment to ensuring that affordable housing is within everyone's reach.


The Klarexville 1 socialized condo project is more than just a building; it's a beacon of hope. With plans to provide housing for 2,200 residents, it's seen as a potent weapon in City Hall’s arsenal to combat the existing backlog of 30,000 housing units for the less privileged.


The driving force behind City Hall’s socialized housing program is the City Housing Urban Development Department (CHUDD), with steadfast support from the national government through the Socialized Housing Finance Corp. (SHFC) and the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Department (DHSUD).


The success of this project is not the result of a single entity but a collaborative effort. The SHFC and the DHSUD's involvement underscores the national government's support and the importance of synergy in achieving large-scale goals.


Klarexville 1 is more than just a housing project; it is a lifeline to many families. It represents an opportunity for a fresh start, a chance to build a life in a safe and secure environment.

 Residences: The Flagship of Change
Set against the backdrop of the Pagatpat Valley Residences in Barangay Pagatpat, Klarexville 1 is the flagship of the socialized housing revolution. It stands as a concrete symbol of the administration's commitment to its people.


While the groundbreaking of Klarexville 1 marks a significant step forward, the journey is far from over. There are more battles to be won in the fight against housing backlog, and with initiatives such as this, the future looks promising.


The CDO administration's initiative serves as a model for other cities grappling with similar issues. It illustrates that with commitment, collaboration and innovative thinking, it is possible to make affordable housing a reality for all citizens.


As the first residents of Klarexville 1 prepare to move in, they do so with the knowledge that they are part of a larger movement. Their new homes are not just buildings, but a testament to the promise of affordable housing and the city's commitment to its citizens.

In conclusion, Klarexville 1 is a shining example of what can be achieved when a city commits to ensuring affordable housing for all its residents. Through this project, CDO is not just providing homes, but hope, stability, and a solid foundation for a brighter future.
