He made the announcement at a meeting of the Steering Committee on the implementation of the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses in Thai Nguyen province on October 21.
Hung highlighted the importance of this initiative as a key political task. He urged Party committees, authorities, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, and mass organisations at all levels to work together to direct and remove these houses in a synchronous and effective manner.
Districts were asked to conduct thorough reviews and compile a list of temporary and dilapidated houses that require support, thus striving to complete the removal of the eligible households by March 31 next year. For households that do not yet meet the criteria, the deadline is extended until June 30.

Of which, 338 households registered to get support this year and 146 others will receive the support in the following year. Fourteen households fail to secure reciprocal capital and six don’t need housing support.
The total funding for mobilising the implementation of the Project has reached more than 22 billion VND. Currently, the provincial Standing Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee has arranged enough funding to get rid of 504 temporary and dilapidated houses for eligible poor and near-poor households. Specifically, eligible families will be provided with 50 million VND for building a new house or 25 million VND for home repair.
