For every Filipino, owning a home isn’t just a goal, it’s a reflection of hard work, love for family, and the desire for stability. A home represents more than just walls and a roof. It’s where dreams are nurtured, families grow, and milestones are celebrated. It’s the place where we feel most secure and most ourselves.
But for many, turning that dream into reality feels out of reach. Rising property prices, complicated loan processes, and strict requirements can make homeownership seem impossible. That’s why SAFC created the JuanTahanan Loan, a program designed to bring the Filipino dream of homeownership closer to everyone, regardless of background or income.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through what the JuanTahanan Loan is all about, how it works, who can qualify, and why it’s thoughtfully designed to help every Filipino finally achieve that long-awaited dream: owning a home built with love, effort, and hope.
Why Homeownership Matters to Every Filipino
For most Filipinos, owning a home goes far beyond having a roof overhead. It is also a symbol of security. It gives families peace of mind knowing that, no matter what happens, they have a place they can truly call their own. It’s a legacy, something every parent dreams of passing down to the next generation. For many, that’s the ultimate definition of success: not just earning a living, but building a home for the people they love most.
But we all know that the journey to homeownership isn’t easy. Between high property prices and strict bank requirements, it can feel overwhelming. That’s where SAFC steps in to make things simpler and more achievable through the JuanTahanan Loan.
With the SAFC Housing Loan, Filipinos now have access to an affordable housing loan designed with flexibility and compassion. It’s not just about providing financial support, it’s about understanding your story, your dreams, and your desire to create a home where your family can grow and thrive.
Because at the heart of every JuanTahanan Loan is a mission to help you turn your hard work into something truly meaningful, your own tahanan that stands as proof of perseverance, love, and the Filipino dream realized.

Socialized and Low-Cost Housing
For many hardworking Filipinos, owning a home can feel like a faraway dream, but with SAFC’s affordable housing loan, that dream is closer than you think. These housing programs are designed especially for families starting out, with homes that are affordable, secure, and accessible.
Note: Properties under socialized and low-cost housing come with a price cap of up to ₱1 million, making them ideal for first-time homebuyers or newly married couples taking their first step toward homeownership.
No matter your dream, whether it’s a condo in the city or a family home in the province, the JuanTahanan Loan by SAFC is your partner in making it real. Because every Filipino deserves not just a house, but a home to call their own.
Where Can You Buy?
When it comes to finding the perfect home, location matters just as much as the house itself. Whether it’s a peaceful suburban life or the convenience of city living, the JuanTahanan Loan gives you the flexibility to choose the place that fits your lifestyle and future plans.
With SAFC Housing Loan, properties must be located in safe, accessible, and flood-free areas. Because your family deserves not just comfort, but peace of mind, too. SAFC carefully evaluates property locations to ensure every investment has strong market value and long-term potential.
Here’s where you can buy your dream home through JuanTahanan:

Major Cities Nationwide – Looking beyond the capital? SAFC also caters to key cities across the Philippines, where development is thriving and opportunities abound. Enjoy modern living with the warmth of a close-knit community.
Select Provincial Areas – For those seeking a more relaxed lifestyle surrounded by nature and space, certain provincial locations are also eligible. These properties are typically along national or provincial roads, close to town centers, and with strong resale or investment potential.
No matter where your heart feels at home, the JuanTahanan Loan gives you the freedom to choose your ideal location while keeping your dream within reach.
Flexible Terms That Fit Your Budget
We understand that every Filipino’s financial journey is unique. Some are just starting to build their careers, while others are already providing for their families or investing for the future. That’s why the JuanTahanan Loan was designed with flexibility in mind, giving you the freedom to choose payment terms that fit your lifestyle and budget.
Here’s how it works:
NCR & Major Cities: Enjoy flexible payment terms of up to 10 years, perfect for professionals and families living in urban areas.
Provinces: For those who prefer a more laid-back lifestyle outside the city, you can still enjoy manageable payment terms of up to 7 years.
Socialized & Low-Cost Housing: SAFC proudly supports hardworking Filipinos through longer and more affordable plans — up to 15 years to pay for your affordable housing loan.
Highlight: With low down payments starting from 15%, you don’t have to put your dreams on hold. Because SAFC knows that every peso counts, and every step closer to your own home matters.
Why Flexible Terms Matter
