The figure was released at the Central Steering Committee for housing and real estate market’s meeting held in Tam Kỳ City, Quảng Nam Province on May 24. Of the beneficiaries, 79,628 households are in the country’s 62 most disadvantaged districts and 22,053 others are from the Khmer ethnic minority group in the southern central provinces.
Nine provinces, namely Ninh Bình, Quảng Ninh, Bắc Ninh, Lào Cai, Phú Thọ, Thái Nguyên, Lâm Đồng, Đắk Lắk, and Đắk Nông, have thus far fulfilled targets of their housing assistance programs.
Seven provinces in the southern central region have almost completed the program while Quảng Nam, Phú Yên, Kon Tum, and Gia Lai provinces plan to finish the program within this year.
Localities attributed positive achievements in housing assistance for the poor to the Government’s strong commitments and widespread financial contributions by local communities.
Mr. Nguyễn Trần Nam, Deputy Minister of Construction cum Vice Chairman of the Central Committee for Housing and Real Estate Market on Tuesday urged localities nationwide to accelerate this assistance so that the work can be totally accomplished within this year, creating more shelters for poor people.
