Four localities (Bac Ninh, Can Tho, Khanh Hoa and Tay Ninh) have completed the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses for all three groups of subjects: People with revolutionary contributions, households under the two national target programs and households under programs launched by the State.

To basically complete the goal of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide before October 31, 2025, more than 61,800 houses need to be urgently built. Of these, about 24,800 houses are for people with revolutionary contributions; 27,000 houses belong to the two National Target Programs and more than 10,000 houses belong to the Program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses.

To ensure progress, localities focus on drastic direction; 18 provinces and cities committed to completing in September and October 2025 must speed up progress, because these are localities with a large volume of work, while still facing many difficulties in terms of resources as well as implementation organization.

Minister Dao Ngoc Dung proposed a number of solutions, in which localities need to urgently submit to competent authorities to allocate funds to support the construction of houses for people with revolutionary contributions and relatives of martyrs for early implementation.
