Who assists local government units in preparing Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUP)?

1. The National Housing Authority

2. The Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board

3. The Department of Land Use Planning

4. The National Economic and Development Authority

The correct answer is: The Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board

The Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board plays a pivotal role in assisting local government units in the preparation of Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUP). This agency is specifically mandated to oversee land use planning and development, ensuring that local governments adhere to national policies and guidelines. By providing technical support, capacity building, and guidance, the Board helps local entities create effective land use plans that promote sustainable development and proper land management. The other options do not directly focus on the preparation of CLUPs. While the National Housing Authority may involve housing projects and policies, it does not specifically assist local governments in comprehensive land use planning. The Department of Land Use Planning is not a recognized agency in this context, and while the National Economic and Development Authority deals with national economic policies and planning, its role does not encompass the direct assistance to local entities regarding land use plans.
