Ms. Ha Thi Ngoc Yen, Secretary of the Bac Yen District Party Committee, said: The district has established a Steering Committee with 5 working groups, headed by members of the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee, to directly inspect and direct at the grassroots level. The process of reviewing and evaluating the current housing situation and support needs is strictly implemented in 3 steps: Village level meetings, reviews, and classifications; commune level appraisal according to criteria; district level approval and issuance of decisions on financial support. The district prioritizes support for policy households, relatives of martyrs, poor and near-poor households, lonely elderly people with no place to rely on, and households with special difficulties.

Through screening, the district has 161 households with housing difficulties, in 14/16 communes and towns that need support for new construction, with a support level of 60 million VND/house, total cost of over 9.6 billion VND. On that basis, the district has made a detailed plan, assigned tasks to specialized departments, communes and towns, and set a goal of completing the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses before April 30, 2025.
