The National Assembly issued Resolution No. 201/2025/QH15 dated May 29, 2025 on a number of specific mechanisms and policies for the development of social housing right at the first session, the 9th session of the 15th National Assembly.
Resolution 201 of the National Assembly was issued with 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 to rent social housing to arrange for their cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers to live in, creating conditions for cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers to work with peace of mind, including foreign workers and workers.

Leadership and direction at the right level, right scope, right heart, truly for the Fatherland and for the people
In his concluding remarks, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated that implementing social policies and social security policies according to the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, we have been vigorously implementing two programs: Eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide by 2025 and building 1 million social housing apartments.
The Prime Minister emphasized that these are two programs with 6 extremely humane meanings, very important and urgent in the current context:
The first, affirming the humanity in the social policies of our Party and State, ensuring progress, fairness, and social security, including ensuring the right to housing of people according to the Constitution;
Monday, Implement social security policies for the poor, low-income, disadvantaged, and disadvantaged to have equal access to housing;
Tuesday, contribute to increasing development investment, increasing consumption, promoting growth, thereby attracting more investment;
Wednesday, clearly shows nationalism and compatriotism, "the strong help each other", caring and helping each other;
Thursday, demonstrate the responsibility of the Party Committee and government to the people when facing difficulties;
Friday, Contribute to promoting urbanization and protecting the environment, not wasting electricity, water, waste, saving land... when planning and rearranging the population.
Acknowledging the positive results achieved, on behalf of the Government, the Prime Minister commended the efforts of ministries, branches and localities, especially the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment; thanked the people for giving up land for the projects, and thanked businesses for joining hands with the Party Committee and authorities in implementing social housing projects.
However, the Prime Minister said that the implementation of social housing projects is still slow compared to the requirements. According to the Prime Minister, the reason is that some local leaders have not paid due attention, have not understood the policies deeply, thoroughly, and completely, so the implementation is still confusing, the leadership has not been really resolute, focused, and determined, and the efforts have not been great. The regulations on conditions and loans for investors and home buyers are still inadequate. The coordination between ministries, branches, and localities when there are problems is not tight, effective, and timely, and the flexibility and creativity are not high.
In particular, the Prime Minister emphasized the need to correctly understand the very wide scope of subjects supported in the social housing policy. Accordingly, the social housing policy is not only for industrial park workers but also for low-income people, the poor, the disadvantaged, new graduates, teachers in remote areas, armed forces, border guards at the border, people affected by the arrangement of local administrative boundaries, etc.; that is, low-income people and those with housing difficulties in general.
Regarding the future orientation, the Prime Minister stated that institutions, mechanisms and policies have been gradually improved, we must effectively implement them with the goal of completing at least 100,000 apartments this year and at least 1 million apartments by 2030.
To achieve this goal, the Prime Minister emphasized 6 groups of common and key tasks for ministries, agencies and localities.
The first, Party committees, authorities, especially leaders, ministries, branches and localities must pay attention, lead and direct appropriately, at the right level, with the right heart, truly for the Fatherland and for the people.
Monday, Relevant entities must firmly grasp the Party and State's policies and laws and promptly, flexibly and creatively implement them in specific conditions at their agencies, units and localities.
Tuesday, Agencies review policies related to access to capital, purchase and construction of social housing, cut cumbersome administrative procedures, and ensure the most convenience for people, businesses and related entities.
Wednesday, Pay special attention to fighting corruption, negativity and waste when policies are open.
Thursday, Localities integrate national target programs to effectively implement social housing policies.
Friday, Where there is a problem, then resolve it there, at which level, that level will resolve it, beyond authority, then report to the competent authority.
Praising many localities such as Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City for their great efforts, the Prime Minister also pointed out the provinces and cities that need to make even more efforts.
