According to the Provincial People's Committee, it is expected that in December 2025, the province will start construction of a new block of houses (Tay Song Hau project) with 336 apartments, and the Phu Cuong Phu Quy urban area project with 751 apartments. By the end of 2025, the province will only reach 74%, still lacking 253 apartments. Deputy General Director of CIC Group Corporation Tran Quang Vu said: “We are implementing 5 projects. The current difficulty is that some projects are partially under construction, the company is waiting for land allocation, permission to change land use purpose and adjust project progress to carry out the next procedures. In addition, the cost of compensation, site clearance, land use rights agreement costs; investment costs for technical infrastructure construction to form a large land fund for social housing investment, leading to high selling prices, limiting the accessibility of beneficiaries of social housing support policies. We propose that the province remove difficulties, support the company to soon complete land acquisition and handover to complete project implementation.”

Deputy Director of Phu Quoc City - Island Real Estate Investment Joint Stock Company Nguyen Xuan Binh also shared: “The company is implementing the Rach Tram eco-tourism and residential area project, currently completing 69/294 social housing units. We are currently facing difficulties in the output of the project. The company proposes to pay land use fees, pay money equivalent to the value of the land fund invested in building the technical infrastructure system to build social housing units according to regulations”.

General Director of Phu Cuong Hoang Gia Joint Stock Company Huynh Thai Lel informed that the company is implementing the social housing project in Phu Cuong Hoang Gia urban area and social housing project in Phu Cuong Phu Quy urban area. The two projects are facing difficulties in completing legal procedures, waiting for land allocation, prolonging the implementation time, so they hope that specialized departments and branches will support and remove difficulties to carry out the next procedures.

Deputy Director of the Department of Construction Nguyen Van Hon noted that units with social housing projects, for projects that are eligible for implementation in the coming time, should urgently carry out the next procedures (extending investment policies, submitting planning adjustment dossiers, etc.). For projects that are still stuck in site clearance, investors need to contact the commune-level People's Committee to discuss implementation. Once site clearance procedures are completed and land is allocated, construction should be quickly implemented as soon as possible.

“Developing social housing is a humane policy, demonstrating the responsibility of the Party and the State, meeting the housing needs of low-income people. Departments and branches must focus on resolving difficulties and obstacles in procedures and recommendations from localities and enterprises as soon as possible. For investment procedures as permitted by law, if there are no obstacles, procedures must be promptly resolved in the spirit of “green channels”. For groups of procedures that are still stuck and related to the authority of the province, departments, branches and branches must advise the leaders of the Provincial People's Committee to preside over, directly resolve and handle them, contributing to completing the targets of social housing construction assigned by the Government ”, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Mung emphasized.
