TP - To help people, especially workers, have the opportunity to own a house to "settle down", in 2024 and 2025, Binh Duong will build more than 26,500 social housing units.
The People's Committee of Binh Duong province has just issued a plan on the implementation of the Project on developing social housing and workers' housing in Binh Duong province in 2024 and 2025. Accordingly, Binh Duong has established a specialized and semi-specialized unit to manage social housing and workers' housing at the Department of Construction, People's Committees of districts and cities to advise on the organization of appraisal of projects related to social housing development and implementation. Organize management, control and coordinate appraisal of social housing projects according to the content of the Project. Every year, coordinate with competent agencies, training units and individuals to organize at least 1 training course on the field of social housing development (planning of social housing land allocation; standards and criteria for applying social housing investment; Laws, Decrees, Circulars guiding the development of social housing).
At the same time, review and determine the implementation targets of each locality in 2024-2025. Strive to achieve the number of social housing units in each locality according to the Project. Of which, Thu Dau Mot city: 13,477 units, land area of 54 hectares; Thuan An city: 6,130 units, land area of 13 hectares; Di An city: 6,121 units, land area of 12 hectares; Tan Uyen city: 8,354 units, land area of 27 hectares; Ben Cat city: 7,462 units, land area of 33 hectares; Bac Tan Uyen district: 900 units, area of 3 hectares.
This year, Binh Duong continues to prioritize the development of social housing in areas with available clean land funds, public land funds managed by localities; available land funds in projects, detailed planning projects; unused land funds of organizations and individuals under management... Strengthen management, urging, and inspection of land allocation for social housing development, worker housing according to projects and in accordance with approved detailed planning of urban areas, housing areas, according to approved urban functional area projects.
Arrange a minimum land fund of 2% of the total area of industrial parks in the list of industrial parks in the province to build dormitories, service works, and public utilities for workers working in industrial parks. In 2025, Binh Duong will implement a roadmap to create land funds and invest in the construction of social housing projects (20% of land for social housing construction in commercial projects, land for dormitories in industrial parks, land managed by the State) according to the approved plan.
Easy access to social housing
Mr. Huynh Pham Tuan Anh - Deputy Director of the Department of Construction of Binh Duong province - said that the unit has grasped the difficulties and has made recommendations to the Ministry of Construction and related agencies. Up to now, the recommendations have been accepted and more clearly regulated in the Housing Law on groups of subjects entitled to social housing support policies.
Accordingly, the condition is that people only need to not own a house in the province or city where there is a social housing project; have not purchased or leased social housing, have not enjoyed housing support policies in any form in the province or city where there is a social housing project or own a house but the average area per capita is lower than the minimum housing area.
Along with that, the income condition must meet the Government's regulations for each specific subject or belonging to a poor or near-poor household. However, the new Housing Law will take effect from January 1, 2025. In the coming time, the Department of Construction will propose the Ministry of Construction to build a national database on social housing to determine the needs and have an investment plan to serve the work of reviewing subjects.
Chairman of Binh Duong Provincial People's Committee Vo Van Minh said that the procedures for investment in construction, purchase and sale of social housing are still complicated and lengthy. The approval of beneficiaries of social housing policies must go through many steps, making it difficult to access. The determination of selling, renting and purchasing prices of social housing must be appraised by provincial-level State agencies, prolonging the time due to having to wait for audit results, delaying the capital mobilization time of enterprises.
The preferential policies for investors in social housing projects and housing for workers that have been issued are not attractive enough, not substantial, and do not attract or encourage investors. The province has also made recommendations to the Ministry of Construction as well as the Central Government to remove difficulties for businesses and workers.
Up to now, Binh Duong has put into use 25 independent social housing projects on an area of 140 hectares with nearly 1.4 million square meters of construction floor space, providing over 34,000 apartments; of which, 11 social housing projects have non-budgetary capital. In addition, Binh Duong also has 32 commercial housing projects with land allocated for social housing construction with an area of about 85 hectares.
