The province has planned to support the construction and renovation of 608 houses, including 31 for people who rendered service to the nation, and 577 for impoverished families and those facing difficult circumstances.
Each newly-constructed house will receive a maximum support of 100 million VND (3,900 USD), with an additional 20 million VND for homes with weak foundations. Renovation projects will receive 50 million VND each.
Along with government budget allocations, the locality is also calling on businesses, organisations, and individuals to contribute to the work.
At the ground-breaking ceremony for the houses held in Phu Giao district on March 25, Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Nguyen Van Loi stressed that the programme not only provides shelters but also creates opportunities for families to improve their lives. He said this is a collective responsibility of the Party, State, and society as a whole in supporting the people.
According to a local leader, 470 houses in the province require construction or repairs. The province aims to complete at least 50% of them by April 30 and all by June 30.
