In his opening remarks, the Prime Minister said that ensuring that every citizen has a place to live is a program of profound human significance, not only a responsibility and obligation, but also a command from the heart, national love, compatriot love, and national solidarity.

The Prime Minister has approved the project to invest in building at least 1 million social housing apartments for low-income people and industrial park workers in the 2021-2030 period, and recently added the target group of officials, civil servants and public employees facing housing difficulties, of which 100,000 apartments must be built by 2025.

Completed 59.6% of social housing target

Up to now, the whole country has 692 social housing projects being implemented with a scale of 633,559 units. Of which, 146 projects have been completed, with a scale of 103,717 units; 144 projects have started construction and are being implemented with a scale of 127,261 units; 402 projects have been approved for investment policy, with a scale of 402,581 units.

Thus, the number of completed, started, and approved investment projects by 2025 reached 59.6% of the target set in the project, which is to invest in the construction of about 1,062,200 social housing apartments by 2030.

Considering the initial results encouraging, there is still much work to be done to complete the project's goal, including completing the construction of 100,000 social housing apartments by 2025, the Prime Minister asked the conference delegates to be frank, serious, open-minded, discuss, and evaluate the situation and results achieved.

At the same time, there are difficulties, limitations, and lessons learned, especially in perfecting institutions, implementation methods, mobilizing the participation of the entire political system, mobilizing resources, and the participation of the whole society in building social housing.

Sharing the model of social housing in the new urban area of An Van Duong in Hue city, the Prime Minister noted that the construction of social housing must be diversified in segments, with diverse forms of purchase and hire-purchase; social housing must ensure essential infrastructure for transportation, electricity, telecommunications, water supply and drainage, environmental sanitation, cultural infrastructure, healthcare, education, etc.
