Ca Mau: After more than four months, the southernmost province of Ca Mau has completed nearly 78% of its plan to do away with makeshift and dilapidated homes, according to the provincial steering committee for the housing campaign. Under the programme, a total of 2,068 houses have so far been built or repaired, reaching 77.8% of the target. Notably, two of the province’s nine district-level localities have already fulfilled their targets, namely Ngoc Hien district with 240 houses and Ca Mau city with 112 units.

According to Vietnam News Agency, the programme costs more than 222.7 billion VND (8.62 million USD) in total, with over 166.7 billion VND already disbursed. By April 30, the province aims to complete the building and repair of houses for families of war veterans and martyrs, along with households under the national target programme for socio-economic development in ethnic minority areas. The overall goal is to finish 4,400 housing units for eligible beneficiaries by June 30.
