The HNA traces its roots to the People's Homesite Corporation (PHC), the first government housing agency established on October 14, 1938 and to the National Housing Commission (NHC) which was created 7 years later, on September 17, 1945. These two agencies, the PHC and NHC, were eventually merged on October 4, 1947 into the People's Homesite and Housing Corporation (PHHC). In the years that followed, 6 more housing agencies were created to respond to separate and distinct shelter requirements, namely:

The Presidential Assistant on Housing and Resettlement Agency (PAHRA); 
</li>
<li>
The Tondo Foreshore Development Authority (TFDA); 
</li>
<li>
The Central Institute for the Training and Relocation of Urban Squatters (CITRUS); 
</li>
<li>
The Presidential Committee for Housing and Urban Resettlement (PRECHUR); 
</li>
<li>
The Sapang Palay Development Committee (SPDC); 
</li>
<li>
The Inter-Agency task Force to Undertake the Relocation of Families in Barrio Nabacaan, Villanueva, Misamis Oriental. 
</p>
</ol>

Eventually, as mandated by Presidential Decree 757, on October 15, 1975, the NHA was organized as a government-owned and controlled corporation under the Office of the President. It was to exist for 50 years as per the decree.
