As a near-poor household with many children and insufficient land for production, Mr. Dieu Mem's family in Hamlet 4, An Khuong Commune, Hon Quan District, received support to build a solidarity house under the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in 2025. The house has an area of ​​56m², with a total construction cost of over 150 million VND, of which the local government provided 80 million VND from the provincial "For the Poor" Fund, and the rest was contributed by the family to complete the house.

After more than 20 days of repairs, under the close supervision of the steering committee for eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses, the house of Mr. Pham Van Dien's family in Tan Long village, Bu Nho commune, Phu Rieng district, has been completed and handed over for use.

Mr. Luu Quang Trung, head of Tan Phu village, stated: "Mrs. Ly's family was previously considered disadvantaged; her daughter has intellectual disabilities, and Mrs. Ly herself lacked stable employment. Having a new house is not only a source of happiness for the family but also a joy for the local Party committee and government. In addition to the 40 million VND support for house repairs, Mrs. Ly's family also received furniture, beds, and fans from benefactors. The village will also help Mrs. Ly find employment so that she and her daughter can have a more stable life."

Philanthropists presented a donation to the family of Ms. Nguyen Thi Ly in Tan Phu village, Bu Nho commune, Phu Rieng district, on the day of handover of their house after the renovation and upgrading work was completed.

For families repairing their houses, in addition to the 40 million VND from the State, each household will also receive 5-10 million VND from philanthropists, officials, and Party members who contribute to help people have a more stable life,” shared Tran Cong Dung, Secretary of the Party Committee of Bu Nho commune.

In 2025, after a review, the entire district had 37 households classified as poor, near-poor, and those with meritorious service to the revolution requesting support to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, including the construction of 20 new houses and the repair of 17 houses.

According to Bui Van Hieu, Vice Chairman of the Phu Rieng District People's Committee, 11 houses for policy beneficiaries have been started construction or renovated on schedule and are expected to be completed and put into use before April 30th. Of the 26 poor and near-poor households receiving support to replace temporary or dilapidated houses, 2 will not be completed because one household has moved elsewhere and one household no longer needs the assistance, so the project is temporarily suspended. It is expected that 100% of the houses for which construction has already begun will be completed by the end of April 2025.
