Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Minister of Public Security Lieutenant General Pham The Tung stressed that the ministry has worked with central and local agencies to implement a nationwide programme to replace substandard housing for policy beneficiaries, people with meritorious services, poor households, and those affected by natural disasters and climate change.

So far, over 28,000 houses and many school facilities have been built, with a total budget exceeding 1.4 trillion VND (54 million USD), significantly contributing to social welfare and grassroots security.

In Dak Nong, the ministry is partnering with local authorities under the movement on joining hands to eliminate makeshift houses nationwide by 2025.

Through this initiative, the ministry and its sponsors are providing 30 billion VND to build 500 new houses for disadvantaged families in the province.

The provincial People’s Committee pledged to manage the funding transparently and effectively, ensuring the aid reaches the right beneficiaries. Local authorities were also urged to strictly monitor construction progress and quality, avoiding waste or loss.

Following the launch, delegates visited and handed over a new house to a resident of Ting Wel Dom hamlet, who is among the families benefiting from this support programme.
