It is being implemented through the Social Housing Finance Corporation, a subsidiary of the National Home Mortgage Finance Corporation, and in accordance with the provisions of Republic Act 7279 otherwise known as the Urban Development and Housing Act enacted on March 1992.

Seeing the need to expand its services deep into the far flung areas of the country, The Philippine Senate passed Republic Act 7835 otherwise known as the Comprehensive and Integrated Shelter Financing Act of December 1994 appropriating 12.78 billion peso fund for the implementation of the Community Mortgage Program.

In January 2004, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed Executive Order 272 creating the Social Housing Finance Corporation and authorizing the transfer of the Community Mortgage Program from the National Home Mortgage Finance Corporation.

To effectively implement this program, the Social Housing Finance Corporation (SHFC), which maintains its headquarters in the Philippine financial district of Makati City, began enlisting the support of accredited originators to help facilitate the program by educating community associations, whose members are underprivileged sector of the Philippine society.

As of December 2008, a total of 1,686 projects were taken out under this program amounting to P7.7 billion with 203,752 underprivileged Filipinos benefiting from it.
