According to a report from the People's Committee of Van Quan District, in 2024, Van Quan District will continue to provide housing support to over 174 poor households, with a total budget of over 7.6 billion VND, and the People's Committees of communes and towns will act as the project investors. To date, the District People's Committee has approved a list of 139 households needing housing support. The commune and town authorities have guided households in the construction of houses and have completed the inspection of 53 houses, disbursing over 2.1 billion VND. Regarding support for production land and vocational retraining, the district plans to support over 120 poor households and will assign the People's Committees of communes and towns as the project investors, with a total allocated budget of over 1.2 billion VND. Currently, the communes and towns are reviewing the beneficiaries and have not yet disbursed the funds.

Project 1 aims to support ethnic minority households classified as poor or near-poor, residing in particularly difficult communes and villages, who lack land or housing, or have temporary or dilapidated housing. This support includes providing land for housing and constructing houses that meet the three essential criteria (solid foundation, solid frame/walls, solid roof) suitable to local conditions; ensuring that poor and near-poor households have access to clean drinking water according to standards issued by competent authorities; and strengthening job creation and supporting vocational retraining to meet the needs and conditions of ethnic minorities in their living areas.

To achieve that goal, the People's Committee of Van Quan district directed the district's specialized departments and units to review, survey, and propose a list of investment projects to be implemented under the National Target Program 1719; organize the appraisal of the list and the necessity of investment, ensuring compliance with the Resolution of the Van Quan District Party Congress and the district's socio -economic development plan for the 2021-2025 period.

The project providing housing, land for production, and clean water for households is of practical significance, ensuring that ethnic minority people have essential conditions for housing and clean water. This creates motivation to help them rise out of poverty and stabilize their lives.
