Efforts to speed up progress

Immediately after Thanh Khe district launched the emulation movement to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, An Khe ward quickly developed a plan, established a steering committee, and assigned specific tasks to each unit and member with the goal of completing the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses as soon as possible. According to statistics, the whole ward has 22 households receiving support to improve their housing, including: 3 poor households, 1 near-poor household, 1 household and 17 households with revolutionary contributions. By the end of March 2025, the whole ward had completed the construction of 1 house, repaired 21 houses and handed them over to households for use and stabilization of their lives. With that result, An Khe ward is the first locality in Thanh Khe district to complete the first phase of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses.

In early April 2025, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Thanh Khe Tay Ward (Thanh Khe District) started construction of the last house on the list of support for the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses in the first phase. The family of Ms. Nguyen Thi Tuyet (Group 5) is a near-poor household with 5 members. Although suffering from a serious illness, Ms. Tuyet still has to work as a housekeeper every day to earn an income to cover her living expenses. The whole family lives in a cramped, dilapidated level 4 house that does not ensure living conditions.

To support Ms. Tuyet's family to improve their living conditions, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Thanh Khe Tay Ward mobilized Da Nang Electricity Company Limited to support 70 million VND, the Association for the Support of Poor Women and Children of the City to support 60 million VND; officers and soldiers of Phu Loc Border Guard Station supported dozens of working days to help Ms. Tuyet build a new house. Chairwoman of Thanh Khe Tay Ward People's Committee Le Thi Nhat Dieu said that, implementing the emulation movement to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, the whole ward had 15 households receiving housing support in the first phase, including 3 households building new houses and 12 households repairing. Up to now, 15/15 households have started to build new houses and repair, of which 13/15 households have completed and put into use.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tien, Secretary of the District Party Committee, Head of the Steering Committee for Eliminating Temporary and Dilapidated Houses in Thanh Khe District, said that the district has completed the construction and repair of 149/149 houses in the first phase, ensuring the set schedule. Agencies, units, and localities are urgently completing the project to hand over to households for use in April 2025.

According to statistics from the Department of Construction, by the end of March 2025, Thanh Khe district is the leading locality in the city in terms of progress in completing the first phase of removing temporary and dilapidated houses with 118/149 houses completed, reaching 79.2%.
