With the determination of the entire political system, the participation of all levels, sectors, organizations, businesses and people, Mu Cang Chai district has completed 100% of the houses according to plan, contributing to the completion of the province's common goal (completing support for house building before June 30, 2025, 2 months earlier than the planned target of the Project).

In addition to state funding, localities have mobilized additional resources, labor, materials, land... from families, clans, and communities to support families in building houses. For households in especially difficult circumstances who are unable to build their own houses, mass organizations and communities have been mobilized to directly build houses for people... Therefore, on average, each completed house has a higher value than the state's support level, an average of 120 million VND/new house, 40 million VND/repaired house.
