(Dan Tri) - In order for Ho Chi Minh City to complete the target of nearly 70,000 social housing units, HoREA believes that it needs the cooperation of departments and branches; large land fund arrangement, open credit mechanism...
In the program to develop at least 1 million social housing units by 2030, the Prime Minister assigned the target for Ho Chi Minh City to develop 69,700-93,000 units.
According to a report by the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction, from 2021 to now, Ho Chi Minh City has only had 10 social housing projects, of which 6 projects have been completed, 4 projects are under construction with a total of nearly 6,000 houses.
At the conference to promote investment in social housing construction in Ho Chi Minh City until 2030, Chairman of the City People's Committee Phan Van Mai pledged to reduce the time to carry out the investment procedures for social housing construction projects from more than 1 year to no more than 6 months. At the same time, social housing projects will only be for rent to meet the rental needs of officials, civil servants, public employees, armed forces officers and workers.
The Department of Construction has also announced a list of 7 social housing projects calling for investment with about 8,000 apartments and has attracted the attention of many real estate businesses, so it may have to organize a bidding process to select investors.
At the conference, 21 enterprises registered to invest in building social housing on land funds created by enterprises themselves with about 52,000 apartments. Ho Chi Minh City also called for investment in 7 land plots with about 8,000 apartments, an additional 10,000 apartments expected to be invested by the public. In total, the city can develop about 70,000 social housing apartments by 2030.

For the plan to be successfully implemented, Mr. Le Hoang Chau - Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association (HoREA) - proposed the most practical solution is for departments, branches, districts, and Thu Duc City to join hands to coordinate to remove obstacles and difficulties to immediately implement social housing projects where commercial housing project investors have available land funds, especially the 20% land fund reserved for social housing development.
Mr. Chau estimated that to realize the target of 69,700-93,000 social housing units by 2030, Ho Chi Minh City needs about 69-93 independent social housing projects with an average scale of 1,000 apartments/project. The total land area that needs to be arranged is about 96-130 hectares. In case of using 20% of the land fund in commercial housing projects, the total area needed is about 480-650 hectares.
To solve the land fund problem, Ho Chi Minh City needs to allocate and lease land through bidding to select investors to implement social housing projects. The city allocates and leases land in cases where the investment policy is approved at the same time as the investor is approved after the investor has agreed to receive land use rights or is currently holding land use rights to implement social housing projects.
The Chairman of HoREA recommends that social housing should be built on 20% of the land fund of a commercial housing project as proposed by the project investor, regardless of whether the project is high-end, mid-range or affordable, when carrying out the procedures for approving the investment policy at the same time as approving the investor. Affordable commercial housing projects (affordable housing) are built on 20% of the land fund of a commercial housing project.
For high-end and mid-high-end commercial housing projects, investors do not have to build social housing on 20% of the project's land fund (except in cases where investors propose to build social housing on 20% of the high-end commercial housing project's land fund).
The proposed investor shall arrange the social housing land fund that has invested in building technical infrastructure systems in locations other than the project scope or pay money equivalent to the value of the land fund that has invested in building technical infrastructure systems to build social housing when approving the investment policy and simultaneously approving the investor.
Regarding credit, the Association proposed that the Ministry of Construction propose to the Government and the Prime Minister to consider allowing investors of social housing projects to borrow preferential credit from the Social Policy Bank. At the same time, the Association proposed that the National Assembly Standing Committee consider allowing a pilot implementation of the mechanism of assigning the Department of Construction to carry out procedures for approving investment policies for social housing projects similar to projects for renovating and rebuilding apartment buildings.
