Through the NASA PUSO program facilitated by the City Social Welfare and Development Office, projects and services that aim to alleviate poverty and empower disadvantaged individuals are implemented.

This program also focuses on assisting individuals or families whose members are hospitalized, chronically ill, needing special procedures, expensive maintenance medicines or assistive devices, burial, transportation assistance, and other forms of relief assistance.

Assistance provided to families whose houses were either partially or damaged due to calamities is also covered by this program. The help that they would receive will allow them to procure necessary replacements for the damaged parts of their dwellings.
