According to Mr. Vo Trung Son, Vice Chairman of Long Ho District People's Committee, in order to achieve high efficiency of the program, the district mobilized the participation of the entire political system, promoted the internal strength of the people and maintained close inspection of the construction progress. Thanks to that, the whole district completed the task before April 25 as planned.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Quyen Thanh, Vice Chairwoman of Vinh Long Provincial People's Committee, Deputy Head of the Provincial Steering Committee for Eliminating Temporary and Dilapidated Houses, the implementation of the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses has always received attention, direction, and consensus from the Party Committee, government, organizations, and people. The locality has mobilized resources well, supported households to build and repair houses to ensure progress and completion before the 50th anniversary of the country's reunification.

Tra Vinh unites for the goal of sustainable social security

According to Mr. Le Van Han, Chairman of Tra Vinh Provincial People's Committee, in recent years, social security work has always been closely directed, specifically: The province has mobilized many resources to support the construction of new, repair and improvement of houses for more than 6,100 poor households, near-poor households, newly escaped poverty households, and disadvantaged households whose houses do not meet the 3 hard requirements (hard foundation, hard frame, hard roof), with a total implementation cost of over 492 billion VND. Of which, Tra Vinh Provincial Social Security Fund supported 3,339 households, with an amount of 167 billion VND and the Ministry of Public Security supported 1,300 households, with an implementation cost of over 84 billion VND.

This work helps households have solid, safe, stable housing, feel secure in working and producing, develop the family economy, and escape poverty sustainably. Thereby, contributing to reducing the poverty rate of the whole province by the end of 2024 to 0.87% (equivalent to 2,493 households), the near-poor household rate to 1.84% (equivalent to 5,305 households). By the end of 2024, Tra Vinh province will basically solve the housing problem for disadvantaged households.

In 2025, Tra Vinh will continue to implement the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses across the province with 2,921 households supported, with a total cost of more than 140 billion VND. Of which, the Provincial Social Security Fund will support 1,975 households with housing difficulties, with an implementation cost of 98.75 billion VND (to date, 100% of households have completed the project) and the Program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses will support 946 poor and near-poor households from the source of 5% savings on regular state budget expenditures in 2024, with an implementation cost of 41.49 billion VND.

In addition, the province has also approved housing support for 1,211 households of people with revolutionary contributions and martyrs' relatives and is building houses for 52 poor ethnic minority households, with support levels of 30-60 million VND/household.
