Efforts to complete the goal of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses for poor households

Officials of the People's Committee of Ngoc Lac district and Tran ward, Ngoc Lac town visited and encouraged the family of Mr. Pham Van Thuong (second from left) during the construction of the Great Unity house.

As the main breadwinner for his family, in 2023, while working, Mr. Pham Van Thuong (born in 1983) in Tran quarter, Ngoc Lac town had an accident, was no longer able to do heavy work, and his family's circumstances were extremely difficult. Mr. Thuong, his elderly mother and two young children had to live in a dilapidated, leaky house of about 30 square meters that could collapse at any time. In March 2025, he and his children received 80 million VND from the Steering Committee for the campaign to build houses for poor households, policy households, and households with housing difficulties in Ngoc Lac district to build a Great Solidarity house. Mr. Thuong shared: "I am very touched by the attention and support of the government, the sharing and care of everyone for my family. In just under a month, my mother and I, my uncle and I will have a new, spacious house. I can only send my thanks to the government, my relatives, and the neighbors. In the coming time, my family will try to overcome difficulties, continue to work, increase production, rise out of poverty, and stabilize our lives."

Along with calling on cadres, party members, union members, and people, the district has actively mobilized businesses to join hands in support, creating a widespread movement, attracting the participation of many classes of people. With active and synchronous participation, up to now, the district's "For the Poor" Fund has received nearly 19 billion VND in funding to support the construction of houses for poor households, policy households, and households with housing difficulties (phase 2) in 2025. By May 2025, 289 households were supported to build houses in the spirit of Directive No. 22 houses have started construction; of which, 94 houses have been completed, handed over and put into use.
