The armed forces of Hue city are actively participating in the movement to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses.

The mark left by the Solidarity Houses

In mid-August 2025, the atmosphere in Can Te village, A Luoi 3 commune, became lively with the inauguration ceremony of a solidarity house for Mr. Ho Van Hinh's family – a poor household with particularly difficult housing circumstances. The house, valued at over 200 million VND and meeting the "four solid" criteria (solid walls, solid roof, solid walls, solid roof), was built through the joint efforts of many units and forces: the "For the Poor" Fund of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hue City contributed 60 million VND; officers and soldiers of the Nham Border Guard Post contributed dozens of days of labor; and the rest was mobilized by the family and relatives.

Looking at his spacious new house, Mr. Ho Van Hinh was moved: “The rainy, windy, and cold seasons were always a nightmare for my family when we lived in our old, dilapidated house. This new house is not only a stable place to live, allowing us to work with peace of mind, but also a testament to the solidarity of the government and the people in caring for the lives of poor households in the border area.”

Not only in mountainous areas, but even in the city center, those facing hardship still desperately need support from all levels of government and philanthropists... The case of Ms. Nguyen Thi Mung, who lived in a dilapidated house at 14B/238 Bui Thi Xuan, is one example. In 2025, she was included in the list of households eligible for the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses. Thanks to this, a new house worth over 300 million VND was built. This included 60 million VND from the "Eliminating Temporary and Dilapidated Houses" program, 74 million VND raised by the former Phuong Duc ward (now Thuan Hoa ward) through the "Brick of Compassion" fund, 20 million VND from the City Fatherland Front, and many other contributions from philanthropists...

Mr. Ho Van Hinh's family is overjoyed in their new "Great Unity" house.

On the day she moved into her new home, Mrs. Mung emotionally said: “My dream of a sturdy house has finally come true. I am grateful for the concern of the government, the Fatherland Front, and benefactors who have helped my family no longer worry every rainy and stormy season.”

Mr. Nguyen Tien Nam, Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hue City, said: In 2025, the "For the Poor" Fund provided 4.66 billion VND to 386 households for building new houses or repairing existing ones, including 80 new houses and 306 repaired houses, and also mobilized donations of valuable gifts for the households. "Eliminating temporary housing is a regular task. The Fatherland Front at all levels will continue to coordinate and mobilize social resources, contributing to ensuring social security, helping people feel secure in developing their economy and achieving sustainable poverty reduction," Mr. Nam shared.

Finish early

The emulation movement "The whole country joins hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses" has profound humanitarian significance. In Hue, during the period 2021-2024, with the participation and cooperation of all levels, sectors, and the people, 6,778 policy beneficiary households, poor and near-poor households have been helped to have decent housing with a total cost of over 350 billion VND.

In 2025, the city also approved support for 1,170 houses, including 503 for people with meritorious service, 325 under the national target program for ethnic minority and mountainous areas, and 342 for poor, near-poor, and disadvantaged households. As of August 15, 2025, the city had completed the plan to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in the area, more than two months ahead of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister .

The support levels were implemented synchronously: 60 million VND/household for new construction, and 30 million VND/household for repairs. The City's Fatherland Front provided an additional 20 million VND (for new construction) and 10 million VND (for repairs) for poor and near-poor households. In addition, social resources from businesses, organizations, and individuals played a significant role in supporting cases outside the budget. Many businesses, philanthropists, associations, and units not only contributed financially but also directly participated in labor, provided construction materials, and essential supplies – these commendable actions further strengthened the program's ability to reach its goal early, while also contributing to creating decent and sturdy housing for people before the rainy season.

Ms. Dang Thi Kim Oanh, Chairwoman of Kim Oanh Group, a native of Hue currently residing in the former Binh Duong province (now Ho Chi Minh City), is one of the exemplary benefactors. Regarding the donation of 10 billion VND to the program in Hue, she shared: “Having experienced hardship myself, I understand the value of a sturdy roof over my head. The most precious thing we want to convey is not just material support, but the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to live a better life. Responding to the Prime Minister's call to eliminate temporary and dilapidated housing, Kim Oanh Group has contributed 25 billion VND to the program in many localities.”
