Based on Resolution No. 201/2025/QH15 dated June 29, 2025 of the National Assembly and Resolution No. 155/NQ-CP dated June 1, 2025 of the Government, the Department of Construction has drafted regulations on cases where people who own houses but are far from their workplaces are entitled to social housing support policies in Hue City.

Accordingly, the Department of Construction proposed regulations that to enjoy social housing support policies, the following conditions must be met: Owned housing must be located outside a 30 km radius from the workplace and outside a 15 km radius from the social housing project. The distance from the social housing project to the workplace must be shorter than the distance from the current housing to the workplace.

The selected social housing project does not belong to the same commune-level administrative unit after merging with the housing owned by the beneficiaries of social housing support policies. The location of housing, workplace, and social housing is determined based on the shortest route from the owned housing to the workplace by common means of transport on the Google Map digital platform. The commune-level People's Committee will be responsible for confirming the housing conditions and geographical location for each case.

This proposal is based on the actual conditions of the locality, the geographical distance of the areas, and also has references to other provinces and cities. In addition, in the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on piloting a number of specific mechanisms and policies for the development of social housing submitted to the Committee on Law and Justice for review and consultation with National Assembly deputies, the Ministry of Construction proposed that "In the case of owning a house, the shortest distance from the place of owning a house to the workplace must be 30 km or more". The regulation "Owning a house outside the radius of 15 km from the social housing project" is to ensure that social housing buyers use it for the right purpose to live and travel to work more conveniently.

According to the Department of Construction, developing social housing is one of the key tasks that need to be prioritized in the city's socio -economic development to ensure people's right to access housing, citizens' right to have housing to settle down and work. Currently, the draft is being consulted with agencies, organizations, and individuals and submitted to the Chairman of the Hue City People's Committee for consideration and decision in the coming time. The time for collecting comments is until July 28, 2025.
