History

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 the result of a merger of the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (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.{{cite news |title=Duterte signs into law measure creating Housing department |url=https://www.bworldonline.com/duterte-signs-into-law-measure-creating-housing-department/ |access-date=February 20, 2019 |work=BusinessWorld |date=February 19, 2019}} The Implement Rules and Regulations (IRR) for RA 11201 was signed on July 19, 2019.
