The housing project is part of the National Housing Authority's (NHA) initiative, in partnership with the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD) and the local government unit (LGU) of Valenzuela City.

The Disiplina Village is situated in Barangay Arkong Bato and will cover a total area of 20,709 square meters, including the construction of 20 five-storey medium rise buildings, equivalent to 1,200 housing units.
