Eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses - a journey filled with Party spirit and people's love

The program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses not only realizes the Party and State's major policy on social security, but also spreads the spirit of solidarity and sharing in the community. From the strong direction of the Central Government to the synchronous participation of the entire political system and people of Can Tho City, more than 11,400 houses have been built and repaired, bringing joy to living, affirming the strength of compatriotism and national love.

Lesson 1: Finish early

Can Tho City has “finished early” in the program of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses, demonstrating a sense of responsibility and deep affection for the people. Many organizations, businesses and individuals have joined hands and hearts to make the dream of settling down for tens of thousands of families come true.

Determination and responsibility

The program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses is very important and humane, so the Party Committees and authorities at all levels in Can Tho City must implement it with the most urgent and drastic spirit. At the same time, they must focus resources from the budget, mobilize contributions from the business community, socio-political organizations, and philanthropists inside and outside the city to join hands in implementing the program.

Members of the Thanh Xuan commune's poor housing repair club support people in building new houses.

Party committees from the city to communes and wards have seriously taken part, not only in issuing directive documents but also in directly inspecting the situation, grasping the situation of each household, surveying the needs and conditions for construction and mobilizing support resources. The determination and responsibility of Party committees and authorities in Can Tho City have been demonstrated through specific and creative actions.

Through surveys and assessments, Tan Hoa commune has dozens of households eligible for housing support. During the implementation process, leaders of the Party Committee and local authorities directly visited each household to monitor progress, urge and support to resolve difficulties that people encountered; dispatch militia, youth union, and mass organizations to support people in dismantling, building, and repairing houses. Local authorities also proactively worked with stores to guarantee the purchase of materials to help people build houses.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh Huong in Tan Hoa commune, gratefully said: “Thanks to local leaders guaranteeing the purchase of materials, and then family members lending more, my husband and I were able to build a new house. Before, our house was small and leaky, and every time it rained and was windy, the ground was very muddy. Now, with a new house, we can go to work with peace of mind and focus on economic development.”

In Hamlet 2, Vi Thanh 1 Commune, there are 4 households in need of house construction and repair. Mr. Vo Thanh Le, Head of Hamlet 2, said: “In addition to the financial support from the State, we mobilize relatives and family members of the beneficiaries of the program to support additional funding if they have the means, or to contribute their labor. All 4 houses are supported by relatives, with money and working days.”

Join hands and contribute to reach the finish line early

Having a solid house is the dream of Mrs. Tran Ngoc Nua's family in Xang Moi C hamlet, Thanh Xuan commune. The old house was badly damaged, leaking every rainy season, and the floor was damp. When she received 60 million VND in support to build a house under the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, she was very happy but also worried. She was happy because she was about to have a new, solid house. She was also worried because the distance to move construction materials from the main road to the house was about 300-400m, having to cross a small bridge. While the family only had an elderly couple, hiring workers to transport them was expensive.

With support from members of the Thanh Xuan Commune's poor household housing repair club to dismantle the old house, transport materials, and build a new house, Mrs. Nua was touched: "Without that help, we would have had to spend money hiring workers and laborers to transport construction materials while our family is poor and cannot afford to pay more than the 60 million VND the State supports."

Members of the Thanh Xuan Commune House Repair Club have contributed to the construction and repair of 13 houses. As one of the club members, Mr. Pham Van Tu said: “In the spirit of “everyone contributes”, we all contributed to building houses, with the hope that people will soon have a solid house to live in, and the locality will complete the demolition of temporary and dilapidated houses sooner.”

With determination, responsibility, solidarity and unity, Can Tho City has completed the construction and repair of more than 11,400 houses, 3 months earlier than the Government's direction. That success lies not only in the newly built houses, but also in the spirit of solidarity and humanity that has been aroused and spread in the community. That is also the core value, a vivid proof of the motto "taking people as the root", affirming that the goal of caring for people's happiness and housing is always put first.

“Each house is a gift, a warm home, demonstrating responsibility, love, national love, compatriot love, and the sharing of the whole community,” Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized when talking about the significance of the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses. Not just a major policy, this is also a humane journey, imbued with the Party's spirit and the people's love. From the spirit of “special momentum, special efforts, special results”, “speed and boldness”, the program has been implemented synchronously and resolutely, helping tens of thousands of poor and near-poor households in Can Tho City to have a warm home of love, leaving no one behind.
