Staying up all night waiting in line to get a number to apply for social housing

Hundreds of people queued up all night to apply for social housing, reflecting the great demand and increasing pressure on housing security policy.

Although the investor officially accepted the application on the morning of November 17, from the afternoon of November 16, the CT3 - CT4 project area in Kim Chung New Urban Area, Thien Loc Commune ( Hanoi ) was already crowded with people lining up to reserve a spot. Many people came from early afternoon, some even from the morning, willing to spend the night outside to wait for their number to submit their application to buy social housing.

On the evening of November 16, at the project document reception location, hundreds of people stood and sat close together in front of the document reception point. The line stretched into a long line, some waited in cafes, others sat temporarily on the sidewalk. The functional forces were reinforced early to maintain order and avoid jostling and pushing.

Due to the increasing number of people coming, to ensure transparency and to limit conflicts, those who arrived first took the initiative to make a list of the order. A group of so-called “reputable people” was appointed to take names, take attendance and coordinate. Many families had to take turns staying overnight, holding seats for many hours.

In the line of people waiting since night, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hue (born 1947) belongs to category 1, a single person, a revolutionary contributor, her children and grandchildren took turns lining up since the previous night. Early in the morning of November 17, her family took her to the reception point to be on the list to get a number.

“I am old and weak, so I cannot stay out here all night. My family arranged for me last night and only brought me here this morning,” she shared.

Mr. TNA (born in 1997, residing in Xuan Phuong Ward, Hanoi) said he had been here since the afternoon of November 16 after receiving notice from the investor. "Although I didn't have to submit my application today, I just had to press the queue number, but I took the opportunity to come early to be proactive in my work in the coming days," he said.

Similarly, Ms. VTY said she arrived at the reception area at 6 p.m. "When I arrived, hundreds of people were already waiting in front of the gate. I had almost prepared all the documents, if anything was missing I could add them later. I just submitted them first, if I was lucky enough to buy them, that would be great," she shared.

At around 9pm, the first list is drawn up and roll call is made to ensure the correct order of arrival. The next roll calls will take place at 0am and 4am on November 17th. Anyone absent during the checks will be removed from the list. Once completed, the list will be handed over to the investor to serve the purpose of dialing the number on November 17th.
