Multiply the spacious roofs
In the new, spacious house, Mr. Trieu Van Thiet (Trung Thanh village, Van Lang commune, Lang Son province) emotionally shared: Before, my family lived in a dilapidated, leaky house. Every time there was a storm, we were always afraid. In 2025, my family received 60 million VND in support from the state, along with the help of the departments, branches, commune organizations, and people in the village, my family was able to build a spacious house. This new, spacious house is not only a place to live but also a home, a belief and a great motivation for us to rise up in life.
Mr. Thiet is one of more than 6,500 households in Lang Son province to have a new roof in 2025 thanks to the program "Joining hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide in 2025" launched by the Prime Minister .
According to the report of the People's Committee of Lang Son province, in order to effectively implement the program to eliminate temporary and leaky houses, the Provincial Party Committee and the People's Committee of Lang Son province have issued resolutions and specific plans, and established Steering Committees from the provincial to the communal levels. The spirit of "6 clear" - clear people, clear work, clear responsibility, clear authority, clear time, clear results, has been thoroughly implemented throughout the implementation process.

As a result, by August 30, 2025, the whole province had completed 6,508 houses, reaching 100% of the target. Of which, 3,840 houses were newly built and 2,668 houses were repaired and renovated. All projects were handed over on schedule, ensuring the "3 hard" standards (hard frame, hard wall, hard roof), suitable for living habits and geological and topographical conditions, helping to minimize natural disaster risks.
In particular, policy beneficiaries, meritorious people, poor and near-poor households, households affected by natural disasters and climate change are all given priority for support. Typically, 104 houses for meritorious families and relatives of martyrs were completed before War Invalids and Martyrs Day, July 27; more than 2,000 houses for poor and near-poor households were also handed over in time, helping people stabilize their lives before the rainy and stormy season...
To achieve this result, Lang Son has mobilized a total of more than 489 billion VND, including the central and local budgets and especially contributions from organizations, businesses and individuals inside and outside the province. In addition, the armed forces and organizations also directly participated in dismantling, transporting materials, and supporting construction workdays for disadvantaged households, creating a combined strength of the whole society.

According to Mr. Nguyen Hoang Tung, Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Lang Son province, the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in Lang Son province has become a widespread political movement, spreading strongly. With the responsibility of being the standing body of the Resolution and Deputy Steering Committee of the province's program, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the province has made the greatest efforts, coordinated synchronously, and implemented many creative and effective solutions, notably the weekly statistics using electronic tools and tree diagrams. In particular, the unit has completed the software for managing temporary and dilapidated houses in the area and is entering data of each household.
Flexible according to regional conditions
In addition to the achieved results, the process of eliminating temporary and leaky houses in Lang Son also faced many challenges. First of all, the housing support needs of the people, especially those affected by natural disasters and climate change, exceeded the budget's ability to balance. This required the province to step up the mobilization of social resources at a very large level.
On the other hand, most of the supported households live in remote areas with complex terrain and difficult transportation. The cost of transporting materials and hiring workers in these areas is much higher than in the plains, putting great pressure on construction progress.
Some units at the grassroots level are still confused in the process of reviewing and evaluating beneficiaries, leading to the need to adjust and supplement the list, slowing down the progress. However, thanks to the close supervision of the Steering Committee, the participation of the Fatherland Front and mass organizations in the province, the shortcomings have been quickly resolved, ensuring publicity and transparency.
One of the most valuable lessons that Lang Son province has learned in the process of eliminating temporary and leaky houses is to mobilize diverse resources from the state budget, enterprises, social organizations to direct contributions from the community and be flexible in organizing implementation, suitable to the conditions of each region, while focusing on the supervision stage to ensure support for the right people, the right needs, and to avoid mistakes.
Mr. Ho Tien Thieu, Chairman of Lang Son Provincial People's Committee emphasized: The program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in the province has profound humanistic significance, bringing confidence to the people, contributing to strengthening the great national unity bloc, and ensuring social security.

The Chairman of the People's Committee of Lang Son province requested that in the coming time, communes and wards continue to closely follow the actual situation of households, regularly review to have timely programs to support people; promptly complete the project settlement records, ensure strictness, publicity and transparency in accordance with regulations, pay attention to completing land procedures for households. Party committees, authorities at all levels, departments, branches, the Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations and philanthropists continue to pay attention to improving the material and spiritual life of people whose temporary and dilapidated houses have been removed, ensuring a stable life, leaving no one behind.
Completing the goal of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses by 2025 is a big step forward for Lang Son province in social security work. Not only does it bring sustainable homes to thousands of households, the program also contributes significantly to the goal of poverty reduction, new rural development, and ensuring national defense and security in border areas.
