Giồng Trôm focuses on eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses.

The district clearly defines the viewpoint that supporting housing for people with meritorious services to the revolution, eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses for poor, near-poor, and disadvantaged households is an important political task of the entire political system.

Construction has begun on a house for Ms. Nguyen Thi Tuyet in Tan Phuoc hamlet, Tan Thanh commune.

Based on provincial documents implementing the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, the District Department of Economy, Infrastructure and Urban Development, in coordination with relevant departments and units, advised the District Party Committee and the District People's Committee to issue guiding documents and implement the program. According to the Decision approving the results of the review of support needs for eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses in 2025 in the province, Giồng Trôm district has 297 households proposed for support. After the review, the district found 208 houses that met the criteria according to Decision No. 55/QD-BXD dated January 20, 2025, of the Ministry of Construction , while the remaining 89 houses belonging to policy beneficiary households, poor households, and near-poor households did not meet the criteria.

According to Nguyen An Toan, Vice Chairman of the Tan Thanh Commune People's Committee: The funding required to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in the commune is quite substantial. In addition to the funds allocated by higher levels, the Party Committee, People's Committee, and Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the commune have also decided to mobilize resources themselves to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses. For commune officials and civil servants, they will contribute one day's salary, while for households in the commune, they will mobilize 100,000 VND per household. Furthermore, through various connections, the locality will send out lists to solicit support from organizations, individuals, and businesses inside and outside the province to secure the necessary funds to achieve the plan of eliminating 100% of temporary and dilapidated houses in the commune by 2025.

At the fourth meeting of the District Steering Committee for the Eradication of Temporary and Dilapidated Houses, District Party Secretary Nguyen Thai Binh - Head of the Steering Committee for the program to eradicate temporary and dilapidated houses - requested that localities and units pay attention to the implementation with determination and decisiveness to meet the set deadline, aiming to complete at least 50 houses by April 30, 2025, in Phase 1. Each commune and town should focus on reviewing and supplementing information on the data and conditions of households to report to the Steering Committee.
