The Provincial People's Committee assigned the Department of Construction to regularly monitor and urge project investors who have been granted construction permits and are implementing construction to focus resources on speeding up project progress and striving to complete the set plan.

The delegation visited the social housing project for workers in Nenh ward, Viet Yen town.

To resolve difficulties and obstacles and speed up the progress of investment in the construction of social housing projects in the area, Bac Giang province proposed that the Ministry of Construction recommend that the Government soon submit to the National Assembly a Resolution on piloting a number of specific mechanisms and policies to promote the development of social housing; recommend that the Government direct early research with guidance for localities to form investment funds for social housing development to ensure long-term and sustainable social housing development.

Comrades Nguyen Van Sinh and Pham Van Thinh visited Social Housing Area No. 2 in Area No. 5 and No. 9 of the Southern Urban Area of Bac Giang city.

Proposing to amend the Housing Law 2023 in the direction of allowing enterprises, cooperatives, and cooperative unions in industrial parks to rent social housing outside the industrial park to arrange for individuals who are workers of units in that industrial park to rent; conditions for subjects who do not own houses in the district where there is a social housing project to register to buy; amending the provisions in Clause 2, Article 83 of the Housing Law in the direction that if the investor of an urban area project has fulfilled the social housing obligation, the investor of a secondary commercial housing project does not have to fulfill the social housing obligation anymore to avoid overlap; providing specific instructions on determining incentives for the fund of 20% of residential land area for building commercial housing in social housing projects for transitional projects.

Comrade Pham Van Thinh spoke at the conference.

Speaking at the conference, comrade Pham Van Thinh stated that in order to facilitate the management of social housing buyers, the Ministry of Construction was requested to build a data system for social housing buyers, integrating information, ensuring public and transparent management, saving verification time. In addition, localities are currently arranging administrative units, so the upcoming guiding regulations need to be calculated and amended accordingly.

Comrade Nguyen Van Sinh concluded at the meeting.

At the conference, delegates also answered and received recommendations and proposals on price appraisal, land use fee calculation; conditions for purchasing social housing; and preferential loans for home purchase.

Through project inspection and understanding the actual situation, comrade Nguyen Van Sinh highly appreciated the province's drastic participation in implementing the Project of 1 million social housing units. The province has closely followed the plans and directives, thereby helping many low-income people and workers have housing and feel secure at work.

He suggested that the province should continue to pay attention to directing the review and arrangement of land funds, and consider approving investment policies for new projects. For projects that have been granted construction permits, it is necessary to speed up progress to have more social housing units in the coming time. Particularly in 2025, projects on the list of projects that must be completed must be closely monitored, speed up progress, and promote administrative procedure reform. Regarding recommendations and proposals, the Ministry will have a specific written response as soon as possible.

Previously, the delegation visited the Social Housing Project for Workers in Nenh Ward and the Social Housing Project for Workers in Quang Chau Ward (Viet Yen Town); Social Housing Project No. 2 in Area No. 5 and No. 9 of the Southern Urban Area of Bac Giang City.
