The researcher conducted a qualitative case study about the lived experiences of the members of the former informal settler families (ISF) settling in the different resettlement communities in the city of Tarlac. This will be highly beneficial to the researcher's study in gaining insights into the present situation of the relocated families and the obstacles they have encountered within the resettlement community. The five (5) resettlement communities encompass Sapang Maragul Resettlement, consist of three (3) phases, and stand as the largest among the five communities. The second community is referred to as the San Roque Block 7 Resettlement or the Binauganan Resettlement. Another one is the Allied City, also known as the San Rafael Resettlement. The fourth community is the Juan Paulo Segundo Resettlement, situated in Matatalaib, Tarlac City. Lastly, we have the Zone 5 San Juan Bautista Resettlement, which happened to be the smallest among the aforementioned communities. One of the goals of the study is to determine and identify the support programs of the local government for the relocated families. Next is to determine the measures that can be proposed considering the resident's various factors about residing in the resettlement communities. And lastly, the implications of the study to Public Administration were drawn. In order to gather accurate information and analyze the various conditions of the relocated families in the five (5) resettlement communities, the researcher conducted interviews in the said communities. The purpose was to gain insights into the current situations, their lived experiences, concerns regarding the government, and the current state of their homes in resettlement areas.
