Proposal to give priority to civil servants and public employees to buy social housing

Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association proposed that there should be a specific policy to develop housing for civil servants and public employees.

The Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association (HoREA) has just sent a document to the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Construction regarding a number of comments related to the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on piloting a number of specific mechanisms and policies for social housing development, VNA reported.

According to HoREA, this draft needs to add specific mechanisms and policies on housing care and development for civil servants and public employees.

HoREA believes that the housing policy for civil servants, public employees, and people's armed forces officers is still inadequate, so it is necessary to supplement the housing development policy for civil servants and public employees to meet the urgent housing needs of this group at present. This is the core force of the regime, similar to the housing development policy for the people's armed forces stipulated in the Housing Law 2023.

Analyzing the policies stipulated in the Housing Law 2023, the Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association said that armed forces officers at the rank of colonel with a salary of 18.72 to 20.124 million VND/month or civil servants with a salary of 15 million VND/month are civil servants of group A3.1 level 1 with a salary of 14.508 million VND/month or civil servants of group A3.2 level 2 with a salary of 14.297 million VND/month or civil servants of group A2.1 level 6 with a salary of 14.274 million VND/month or civil servants of group A2.2 level 8 with a salary of 14.929 million VND/month (under 15 million VND/month) are eligible to buy or rent-purchase social housing and housing for the armed forces.

However, civil servants, public employees, and people's armed forces officers have strived for many years to reach the rank of colonel or senior officer of group A3.1 level 1, group A2.1 level 6, group A2.2 level 8 but still have not been able to create housing.

According to Mr. Le Hoang Chau, Chairman of HoREA, due to the lack of this policy, many civil servants and public employees are close to retirement age but still cannot buy social housing or low-cost housing to settle down in old age, not to mention settling down to make a living while still working, especially for the majority of civil servants and public employees with low salaries.

In addition, currently, there is still a shortage of public housing. To buy social housing, civil servants and public employees have to queue up to draw lots to buy social housing like everyone else, which is very difficult, because the housing policy for civil servants and public employees is not really reasonable.

From this reality, Mr. Chau recommends that, in addition to the general policy on social housing for workers, laborers, and low-income urban people, it is necessary to add a specific policy on housing development for civil servants and public employees to have a legal corridor and priority order suitable to their conditions, work process, and contributions.
