Quang Ngai is at risk of not completing its social housing target.

This is one of the main contents in the conclusion of Chairman of Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Hoang Giang at the working session with the Department of Construction on the implementation of tasks in the first 8 months of the year and the implementation plan for the last months of 2024, which has just been issued.

The plan to implement the Project "Investing in the construction of at least 1 million social housing apartments for low-income people and industrial park workers in the period of 2021 - 2030" in 2024 in Quang Ngai province was approved by the Provincial People's Committee in Plan No. 126/KH-UBND dated June 11, 2024.

Accordingly, in 2024, Quang Ngai province must complete the target of implementing investment in the construction of 500 social housing apartments. However, up to now, no social housing project has been approved by the competent authority for investment policy. Therefore, Quang Ngai is likely to fail to complete the target registered with the Central Government.

Faced with the above situation, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Ngai province requested the Department of Construction to immediately assess the implementation of the Project "Investing in the construction of at least 1 million social housing apartments for low-income people and industrial park workers in the period 2021-2030" according to Decision No. 338/QDTTg dated April 3, 2023 of the Prime Minister up to the present time of the province.

Propose specific solutions to ensure feasibility in implementing and completing the Social Housing Development Plan in the province according to the targets assigned by the Central Government, and report to the Provincial People's Committee in September 2024.

Workers have to rent cramped, narrow boarding houses with poor living conditions.

It is known that Quang Ngai province currently has over 70,000 workers working in Dung Quat Economic Zone and industrial parks and clusters. As a locality with the largest workforce in the Central region, the need for social housing in this province has become very urgent. Most workers still have to live in cramped, unsafe boarding houses.

However, up to now, in Quang Ngai, there has not been any social housing project for low-income people and workers. Only a few factories, such as Dung Quat Shipbuilding Factory, Doosan Vina Heavy Industry Factory, Hoa Phat Dung Quat Steel Joint Stock Company... have some projects to build workers' housing, providing housing for about 1,500 workers in Dung Quat Economic Zone.

In addition to the issue of social housing, according to the Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Ngai province, there are a number of other issues that the Department of Construction needs to identify and overcome.

In which, in specialized fields such as: construction planning, architecture, urban development, real estate market, construction materials, etc., it has not been clearly demonstrated; the urbanization rate of the province in 2024 is estimated to reach the target assigned by the Provincial People's Council (38.5%), however, compared to the national urbanization rate target in 2024 (43.7%), the urban development rate of the province is still low.

The current situation of investment and construction of residential and urban area projects that have been approved by competent authorities in the province in recent times is still behind schedule.

In addition to the objective reasons due to the impact of the sluggish real estate market; the newly issued Land Law, Housing Law, Real Estate Business Law... there are also reasons in the state management of the Department of Construction that have not closely coordinated with relevant departments, branches and localities to inspect and urge the slow implementation of projects by investors.
