On the Ministry of Construction's Information Portal, Ms. PTDL asked: My siblings and I are low-income people and want to register to buy social housing. Through research, the beneficiaries of housing support policies in Clause 5, Article 76 of the 2023 Housing Law are "low-income people in urban areas". Applying current regulations, I have the following questions:
I work in Dong Anh commune, Hanoi . Are the communes of Hanoi in general and Dong Anh commune in particular considered "urban"? To determine whether I am a low-income earner in an urban area.
My brother lives and works in a town in a province bordering Hanoi city. After the merger, the town became a commune. So, after the merger, is the commune still an "urban area"?
Where are the specific regulations for us to determine what is an urban area and what is a rural area after the merger in accordance with the regulations of "low-income people in urban areas"?
Responding to this issue, the Department of Housing and Real Estate Market Management has the following opinion:
Clause 1, Article 13 of Resolution No. 76/2025/UBTVQH15 dated April 14, 2025 of the National Assembly Standing Committee on the arrangement of administrative units in 2025 stipulates:
“People, cadres, civil servants, public employees, workers, and salary earners in the armed forces in the administrative unit after the reorganization continue to enjoy special regimes and policies applied by region, area, or administrative unit as before the reorganization until there is another decision by the competent authority."
Clause 4 and Clause 5, Article 26 of Decree No. 178/2025/ND-CP dated July 1, 2025 of the Government detailing a number of articles of the Law on Urban and Rural Planning stipulate:
“New urban or town areas that have had their urban planning approved before the effective date of this Decree, and are now located within the commune, shall continue to be managed and implemented according to the approved urban planning. When establishing and approving the general planning of the commune after the rearrangement, the content of the approved urban planning must be inherited.
Decisions on urban classification issued by competent authorities before July 1, 2025 based on the results of urban quality assessment on the basis of approved urban and rural planning will continue to be effective until replaced, amended or abolished in accordance with the provisions of law.
Based on the above regulations, people in the administrative unit after the rearrangement continue to enjoy the regimes and policies applied according to the administrative unit as before the rearrangement until there is another decision by the competent authority.
