Mr. Chu Van An - Deputy Director of the Department of Construction said that by the end of 2024, the province had basically completed 3,364/3,400 units (reaching 98.9%). However, according to Decision No. 444, dated February 27, 2025 of the Prime Minister on assigning targets for completing social housing in 2025 and the following years until 2030 for localities to add to the socio -economic development targets, the target assigned by the Prime Minister to the province in 2025 is 2,496 units. Therefore, in addition to allocating 20% of land fund in commercial housing projects, it is extremely necessary to proactively prepare independent land funds specifically for social housing development.

These projects need to continue to be reviewed, speed up the completion of legal procedures related to site clearance, and call for investment to soon implement the project.

Need to remove obstacles

According to the leaders of the Department of Construction, many land fund locations oriented for the development of independent social housing are still in the proposal stage, have not been officially approved for investment, or have been approved but have not yet selected investors. The work of completing legal procedures related to land, detailed planning procedures, especially compensation and site clearance work still faces many obstacles and is prolonged due to the compensation unit price not being suitable to reality or the lack of consensus from the people. These issues require strong direction and synchronous, specific solutions from competent authorities to resolve and speed up progress.
