At the end of November 2025, the City Federation of Labor Unions will organize the handover of "Trade Union Shelters" to union members facing housing difficulties.
Working at Hung Vuong Primary School, librarian Trinh Thi Dieu Thuan (born in 1990, Son Tra ward) is in difficult circumstances; her old house, built a long time ago, is in serious disrepair.
In mid-2025, Ms. Thuan and her husband planned to build a new house, coinciding with a review of applications for "Trade Union Shelter" support from the City's Labor Federation. Encouraged by the local trade union, Ms. Thuan submitted her application and it was approved.
With a grant of 50 million VND from the City Labor Union and support from siblings and family on both sides, Ms. Thuan and her husband built a new, spacious, and sturdy house.
“My family is very happy and grateful to the City Labor Union for its meaningful ‘Trade Union Shelter’ program. Thanks to the support of the City Labor Union, my husband and I have more motivation to build a new house and stabilize our lives,” Ms. Thuan shared.
The case of Ms. Ha Thi Thu Loc (born in 1968, Lien Chieu ward) - a member of the Trade Union of Hoa Lien Kindergarten - is somewhat special. Ms. Loc and her husband divorced more than 10 years ago, and she has been raising her two children alone.
The old, dilapidated house was located in a low-lying area, frequently flooded during the rainy season. But with her meager kindergarten teacher's salary barely enough to support her two children, Ms. Loc never dared to dream of building a new house someday.
In March 2025, upon hearing that the higher-level trade union was implementing the "Trade Union Shelter" support program, Ms. Loc submitted an application for assistance.
With a grant of 50 million VND, Ms. Loc received land from her mother, and her siblings contributed additional funds and labor for construction. After more than three months of construction, the 100m2 single-story house was completed, providing a place to live for Ms. Loc and her two children.
"Nothing could be more joyful than the fact that my mother and I are now free from the daily grind of cleaning up and fleeing floods every rainy season. Thank you to the higher-level Trade Union for their concern and support in providing my family with this warm home. This is a great encouragement, helping me to work with peace of mind and strive for success," Ms. Loc confided.
The joy of having a home also smiled upon Ms. Dang Thi Van Anh and her husband (teachers at Le Anh Xuan Secondary School, Hai Van Ward) because after decades of renting, they can now live comfortably in a "Trade Union Shelter." Thanks to 50 million VND from the "Trade Union Shelter" program, along with their family's savings, Ms. Van Anh was able to build a spacious new house.
The City Labor Union announced that since the beginning of the year, it has organized three rounds of financial assistance to repair 45 houses and build 40 new houses, totaling 2.9 billion VND. Dozens of houses have been completed and handed over to union members and workers for use, stabilizing their lives and contributing to the effective implementation of the "Housing for All" program by the city government, thereby improving social welfare in the area.
