On the afternoon of June 2, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired a conference to deploy Resolution 201/2025/QH15 of the National Assembly on piloting a number of specific policies and mechanisms for social housing development and reviewing and assessing the development of social housing in the first 5 months of the year, and the implementation plan for the last months of 2025.
In his opening speech, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated that the Party and State have social policies and social security policies on housing; ensuring the right to housing, equal access to housing for people and caring for the disadvantaged.
The Prime Minister informed that the project to invest in building at least 1 million social housing apartments for low-income people and industrial park workers in the period of 2021 - 2030 has been approved by the Government. To date, the whole country has planned 1,309 locations with a scale of 9,737 hectares of land for social housing.
Most localities have allocated enough social housing land in favorable locations. Nationwide, 679 social housing projects have been implemented, with a scale of 623,051 units. In the first 5 months of the year, 22,649 apartments were completed, and 21 more projects were started with a scale of 20,428 units.
The Prime Minister assessed that in recent times, the implementation of social housing construction has been carried out vigorously and seriously, especially by the Ministry of Construction, Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, Ministry of National Defense, Ministry of Public Security... However, the implementation of social housing projects still faces many difficulties and obstacles, including complicated and lengthy institutions and administrative procedures.
After the National Assembly issued Resolution No. 201/2025/QH15 at the first session of the 9th session of the 15th National Assembly, the Government issued an action program to implement the resolution.
The Resolution has many breakthrough mechanisms and policies such as establishing the National Housing Fund; expanding the scope of enterprises, state agencies , political organizations, and socio-political organizations that are allowed to rent social housing to arrange accommodation for their officials, civil servants, public employees, and workers, creating conditions for officials, civil servants, public employees, and workers to work with peace of mind, including foreign workers and workers.
Along with that, cutting down and reforming administrative procedures in social housing development (such as assigning investors without bidding, not requiring detailed planning tasks, eliminating procedures for basic design appraisal, price appraisal, exempting construction permits, and integrating some administrative procedures) which, according to the report of the Ministry of Construction, will cut at least 350 days.
The Resolution also supplements and assigns the Provincial People's Committee to prescribe conditions for enjoying social housing policies for subjects affected by the organization and rearrangement of administrative units.
The Prime Minister said that Resolution No. 201/2025/QH15 has removed institutional bottlenecks to promote the development of social housing. However, to effectively implement and concretize these specific mechanisms and policies, it is necessary to continue to have unified direction and leadership from Party committees and heads of ministries, branches and localities.
According to the Prime Minister, it is necessary to understand correctly the very wide range of subjects supported in the social housing policy. If you say "my province has no industry, no workers, so there is no need to develop social housing" then you do not fully understand the policy, because the social housing policy is also for the poor, the disadvantaged, new graduates, teachers in remote areas, border guards in the border areas... that is, people with low incomes and housing difficulties in general.
Social housing must not be located in the middle of nowhere, or in "leftover land" but must have adequate infrastructure for transportation, electricity, water, telecommunications, society, health, culture, and education.
- The Prime Minister emphasized
