The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office 4-A (Calabarzon) has extended assistance totaling PHP5.13 billion to over 1.2 million clients under its Crisis Intervention Program (CIP) as of Dec. 9, 2024. <\/p>\n
The program provided aid for medical, food, burial, and educational needs.<\/p>\n
Joseph Arceo, the public information officer of DSWD-Calabarzon, said in a statement on Thursday that the CIP offers financial assistance and referrals to individuals and families in crisis who cannot meet their immediate needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis includes individuals affected by economic shocks due to hospitalization, illness, job loss, death, or disasters, among other circumstances,\u201d Arceo said.<\/p>\n
The amount of assistance granted to each client is based on the assessment conducted by a social worker, taking into account the individual’s or family\u2019s specific crisis situation.<\/p>\n
As the year concludes, the field office is engaged in the liquidation process for all financial transactions, including those under the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations (AICS) program.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis process is integral to the field office’s financial accountability report and ensures transparency in all financial transactions,\u201d Arceo said.<\/p>\n
The DSWD-Calabarzon\u2019s CIP continues to serve as a lifeline for vulnerable populations in the region, addressing urgent needs and supporting recovery during challenging times. (PNA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
