The Party and State have always paid attention to and identified housing for the people as a social issue, a key task of social security and sustainable poverty reduction.

In the recent period, the Government and the Prime Minister have issued many mechanisms and policies to support housing, especially housing for people with meritorious services to the revolution, poor households, near-poor households in rural and mountainous areas, and ethnic minorities.

The above policies have helped about 340,000 households with meritorious services to the revolution and over 800,000 poor households, near-poor households with housing difficulties have stable and safe accommodation, and strive to escape poverty sustainably.

The above results were achieved thanks to the great efforts of the entire political system from the central to local levels, and the active and widespread participation of organizations, communities and people.

However, up to now, there are still about 315,000 households nationwide with housing difficulties (including beneficiaries, target programs, poor households, near-poor households, etc.) that need support to improve their housing to ensure safety and stability.

The Prime Minister requested that by 2025 to complete 3 tasks: (i) Support housing for people with meritorious services; (ii) Support housing for people under national target programs; (iii) Eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for people outside the above 2 support groups.

The Prime Minister assigned the MoLISA to preside over and coordinate with relevant Ministries and agencies to submit to the Head of the Central Steering Committee for the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide to promulgate the Regulations on organization and operation of the Steering Committee./.
