This initiative is part of a broader national effort to eliminate makeshift and substandard housing across the region. The province has identified 4,906 households currently living in inadequate conditions.
According to Vietnam News Agency, the project aims to provide 4,280 households with new homes, while repairs will be carried out on 626 homes. The initiative primarily targets revolution contributors, as well as poor and near-poor families, and others identified by the campaign. By early March, significant progress had been made, with 701 new homes constructed and 72 homes repaired. Already, 360 families have moved into their new or upgraded homes, including 306 families in newly built houses and 54 in repaired ones.
