At the conference to deploy the project "Investing in the construction of at least 1 million social housing apartments for low-income people in the period of 2021 - 2030", Mr. Nguyen Thanh Nghi, Minister of Construction said: The implementation of social housing projects is facing many difficulties.
However, Mr. Nghi said that developing social housing is the responsibility, obligation and ethics of state managers, society, businesses and people.
“Heads of ministries, sectors and localities must pay attention, be responsible and resolutely promote the development of social housing for low-income people and industrial park workers to improve Vietnam's housing ranking in international rankings,” said Mr. Nghi.
The Minister of Construction said that the State encourages economic sectors to develop social housing for low-income people in urban areas and industrial park workers according to market mechanisms.
At the same time, there are policies to support housing for low-income people in urban areas and industrial park workers to contribute to political stability, ensure social security, "not sacrifice progress, social justice, and the environment to pursue economic growth alone".
However, to do this, ministries, branches and People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities must have high determination, make great efforts and identify the development of social housing, especially workers' housing, as a key political task.
In which, local Party committees and authorities are the ones that decide the success of social housing development programs, especially workers' housing.
The Ministry of Construction has set a target that by 2030, localities will complete more than 1 million social housing apartments. Of which, about 428,000 apartments will be completed in the 2021-2025 period; about 634,200 apartments will be completed in the 2025-2030 period.
According to reports from localities, in the 2021-2025 period, 19,516 units have been completed and about 288,500 units are still under construction.
Thus, to complete the short-term goal by 2025, in addition to completing the investment and construction of 288,500 apartments currently under construction, it is necessary to open new ones and complete the investment and construction of about 120,000 apartments.
Seriously implement the responsibility of investing in social housing
According to the Ministry of Construction, the Government and local ministries and sectors are currently stepping up efforts to resolve difficulties related to social housing. However, the involvement of the State is not enough and the cooperation of businesses is needed.
The Ministry of Construction recommends that large real estate businesses and corporations, in addition to developing urban and housing projects, should pay more attention to investing in developing social housing for low-income people and industrial park workers in localities to ensure social security and achieve the goals set out in the Project.

In addition, the Ministry of Construction requested that enterprises strictly implement their responsibility to invest in social housing on 20% of the land fund in commercial housing projects and urban areas invested by enterprises.

In particular, it will review and strictly implement regulations on reserving 20% of residential land fund invested in technical infrastructure in commercial housing projects and urban areas to invest in developing social housing according to the law on housing.
"Request investors of commercial housing projects to invest in building social housing on this land fund according to the approved schedule," the Minister of Construction emphasized.
