"The houses of gratitude on the height." That is the dear calling of socially privileged families and national contributors in Thu Dau Mot City who have just been handed gratitude apartments located in the social housing block of Becamex Dinh Hoa. Nguyen Thu Cuc, the Deputy Chairwoman of the city's People's Committee said that there are some families with difficult policies on housing but having no land to build gratitude houses. The city has reviewed the social housing support scheme. With this policy, the city has handed over 8 gratitude apartments in Becamex Dinh Hoa social housing area to socially privileged families. In addition to the apartments, the city delegation has also given each family a set of furniture. Living in a new, spacious, and airy apartment, Tran Van Thai (born in 1946), a father of martyrs could not hide away his joy and happiness.
