The newly built house of Mr. Ma Van Tuyet's family, a Tay ethnic minority member from Dong Giang village, Trung Son commune, was completed at the end of June. Previously, their rickety wooden house, perched precariously on the mountainside, always worried him whenever storms came. Now, the sturdy, single-story house with a corrugated iron roof and tiled floor, built with support from the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, has helped his family settle down and focus on economic development.

"A new house is not just a place to shelter from the rain and sun, but also a motivation for me to work hard and raise my children to go to school. Without this program, I probably wouldn't have been able to do it in my lifetime," Mr. Tuyet shared.
Mr. Tuyet's family is just one of thousands of poor and disadvantaged households in Tuyen Quang who have benefited from the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses that the province is vigorously implementing. One of the key solutions that Tuyen Quang has consistently pursued is to empower the people, not passively waiting for support but actively participating in the implementation process. Many households have contributed land, provided their own materials for the roof and foundation, or joined hands with relatives and neighbors to build, reducing labor costs.
According to a report by the Department of Ethnic Minorities and Religions, the Standing Agency of the Steering Committee for the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses in the province, the total number of families receiving support throughout the province is 15,868 houses (11,767 new constructions; 3,972 repairs). By the end of July 2025, the province had completed over 13,508 houses. Of these, the province achieved the goal of eliminating temporary housing for people with meritorious service on July 24th.
Despite achieving many positive results, the implementation process still faces numerous difficulties, such as remote and inaccessible areas, rising material prices, and some households lacking legal land ownership or the ability to provide matching funds. Currently, the province still has 2,360 houses under construction in 67 communes.
To overcome difficulties and ensure completion before August 31st, the province directed departments, agencies, and localities to flexibly implement solutions. The province's overarching principle is not just about "having a place to live," but about "living with quality." The houses must meet criteria for sustainability and safety.
Following the latest directive from the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee - the Standing Agency of the Provincial Steering Committee, departments, agencies, localities, and the People's Committees of communes and wards are focusing on the synchronized implementation of key tasks. Specifically, the Department of Ethnic Minorities and Religions is tasked with leading the development of a high-priority plan from August 1st to August 31st, 2025, based on the "six clear principles": clear person, clear task, clear authority, clear responsibility, clear time, and clear results. Simultaneously, it will coordinate with relevant units to review and accurately update data on households needing support and monitor construction progress daily. The Department of Finance is responsible for advising on resource allocation to promptly provide financial support to households that have already built houses but have not yet received assistance. The Provincial Military Command and the Provincial Police Department, based on requests from communes and wards, will mobilize forces to assist with labor and ensure construction progress.
The People's Committees of communes and wards shall review and summarize the implementation results and report to the Department of Ethnic Minorities and Religion before August 15, 2025. For communes and wards that have not completed the plan after the merger, they shall urgently consolidate the commune-level Steering Committee, with the Party Secretary as the Head and the Chairman of the People's Committee as the Deputy Head, and assign specific tasks to each member according to the "6 clear principles," closely monitoring each household to provide appropriate support solutions...
The province is also proposing that central ministries and agencies provide additional funding, while continuing to mobilize businesses and charitable organizations to ensure that no household is left behind.
With strong political determination, a systematic approach, and the synchronized involvement of the entire political system, Tuyen Quang province is making a concerted effort to achieve the goal of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses in the area before August 31, 2025. This is not only a journey of building homes, but also a vivid testament to the correct policy of "leaving no one behind."
