The funding, sourced from a 5% savings in last year's regular expenditure as approved by the National Assembly, has been distributed to localities for implementing the housing support programme.
To date, 2.83 trillion VND, nearly 82% of the assigned budget, has been disbursed by ministries, sectors, local administrations, banks, and corporations, with dozens of entities completing 100% of their financial transfers.
According to the ministry, up to 168,027 homes have been supported under the initiative, including 15,491 houses for revolutionary contributors, 60,473 under two national target programmes, and 92,063 under the specific programme to eliminate temporary and substandard houses.
The nationwide campaign, launched under the Prime Minister’s initiative “Joining hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses by 2025,” has seen strong commitments and coordination from central to local levels./.
