Since the third session, nearly 87,000 houses have been started and inaugurated, an average increase of 26 houses/locality/day. However, the task from now until October 31, 2025 is still very heavy (about 61,800 temporary and dilapidated houses remain) because it involves many ministries, agencies, and localities, and the scope of implementation is wide, while there is not much time left. Therefore, the Prime Minister requested all levels, sectors, and localities to make greater efforts, greater determination, and more drastic, effective, and focused actions to successfully implement the goals of the Program.
