Attending a conference reviewing the programon Tuesday, the President noted that during over the past two years, Ha Giang, being a poor border province, has provided housing to more than 5,100 households, which is an outstanding achievement.
He added that housing support for the needy also helps ensure social order and security in border areas and stable life for local residents.
He went on to say, “I want Ha Giang’s program to build houses for the poor to be replicated across Vietnam, getting the whole political system involved. We need a master plan for social housing to broaden access for low-income earners, especially in localities with high density industrial parks and processing zones.”
President Phuc asked Ha Giang to continue implementing the program and suggested the province rearrange residential areas, cut costs in infrastructure and essential social services, strengthen border protection, and preserve local cultural identity.
He stressed the spirit of leaving no one behind in development, adding that it is important to reform mechanisms and policies to mobilise investment in social housing for low-income people.
