The LGSF is a national government subsidy to local government units (LGUs) for critical infrastructure that supports basic services such as roads, water systems, health stations, and school buildings.

The DILG explained that the program empowers the LGUs, especially the barangays, to identify and implement projects based on local priorities.

“These include solar-powered water systems, local access roads, drainage systems, and multipurpose buildings, all implemented in partnership with national, regional, and municipal counterparts,’’ the DILG noted.
