[Emagazine]. Warm and affectionate houses

In a house that still smells of new paint, Mr. Vo Hay (87 years old), in residential group 8, Quang Phu ward (Quang Ngai city) emotionally said, from now on, I no longer have to go to another house to take shelter from the rain and storm. Due to difficult family circumstances and no longer being able to work, Mr. Vo Hay, his wife Nguyen Thi Thia and their mentally disabled daughter, live in a dilapidated house but do not have money to repair it. Due to old age and poor health, unable to walk normally, every time there is a storm, Mr. Hay has to ask someone to carry him to another house to take shelter.

The house has just been repaired by Mr. Vo Hay's family, in residential group 8, Quang Phu ward (Quang Ngai city).

Understanding the situation of Mr. Hay's family, Quang Phu Ward chose his family as one of 15 families in the ward to receive support for the demolition of temporary and dilapidated houses. In addition to the 30 million VND support for house repair funded by the Steering Committee for the demolition of temporary and dilapidated houses in Quang Phu Ward, Mr. Vo Hay's family also received more than 5 million VND from Quang Phu Ward Police to build a porch and yard. To repair the house, Mr. Hay did not spend much money on hiring workers, because from the beginning of the repair until completion, the ward's volunteer shock force was always present to support his family.

Quang Phu Ward Police (Quang Ngai City) supported Mr. Vo Hay's family, in residential group 8, Quang Phu Ward, to build a yard.

“Mr. Hay and his wife are both over 80 years old, and their child is mentally disabled, so the steering committee determined that the support for house repairs must be carried out in a “turnkey” manner. From the stage of mobilizing funds to purchasing materials and workers to build the house, the steering committee assigned people to carry out the work. That is the working spirit of the steering committee, with all love and responsibility, in each specific case, the steering committee will have a direction to support so that people can soon live in a solid house”, said Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Phu Ward, Head of the Steering Committee for Eliminating Temporary and Dilapidated Houses in Quang Phu Ward Mai Thi Cam Hong.

Implementing the Program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, Quang Ngai City has proposed a plan to support the poor, near-poor, and people with revolutionary contributions to repair and rebuild nearly 160 houses. Up to now, the city has supported people to build and repair 50 houses, reaching 31.2%. Promoting the spirit of "Whoever has something to contribute, whoever has merit contributes merit, whoever has property contributes property, whoever has a lot contributes a lot, whoever has little contributes little", the Program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses has created a strong ripple effect in the community, receiving the cooperation and contribution of many cadres, party members, and people.

The Steering Committee for Eliminating Temporary and Dilapidated Houses in Quang Phu Ward (Quang Ngai City) held a groundbreaking ceremony to repair the house of Mr. Nguyen Phi Duc, a poor household in the ward, on the morning of March 24.

Members of the volunteer shock team supported people in removing temporary and dilapidated houses in Quang Phu ward and helped people repair their houses.

In Quang Phu ward, after more than 3 months of implementing the program, the locality has mobilized about 450 million VND from cadres, party members, civil servants, public employees, people and businesses in the ward. Up to now, the ward has completed repairing 7/15 houses for the poor, near-poor, and people with revolutionary contributions, the remaining 8 houses are in the process of being repaired.

Joining hands to build shelters for the poor, the children of Tinh Long (Quang Ngai City) who are living and working far from home have turned to their hometown by contributing 130 million VND to support the Program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in the commune.

“In addition to the VND130 million support from the Sung Tich Village Association in Ho Chi Minh City, the locality has received contributions from many cadres, party members, civil servants, people and businesses. The total local budget mobilized to date is VND180 million. With the community's cooperation, the locality flexibly supported VND110 million for Ms. Huynh Thi Tui's household, a poor household in the locality, to build a house and support two families of people with revolutionary contributions to repair their houses,” said Secretary of the Tinh Long Commune Party Committee Tran Thanh Vong.

According to the Standing Committee member of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Quang Ngai City Party Committee Ngo Van Trong, with the motto of being proactive, positive, flexible, and creative in supporting people to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses, Quang Ngai City is determined to be self-sufficient in funding to implement the program. After more than 3 months of implementing the program, at the commune level alone, localities have mobilized more than 3 billion VND to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses. This is clear evidence that when the policy is in line with the people's wishes, all classes of people join hands and are of one mind.

Thanks to the Program to Eliminate Temporary and Dilapidated Houses, Ms. Duong Thi Mai, in Co Luy village, Tinh Khe commune (Quang Ngai city) received 30 million VND in support to repair her house.

“Of the nearly 160 households supported by this program, 21 cases have encountered land problems. With the determination to speed up the process of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses, the specialized agencies of Quang Ngai City have focused on providing support, and so far, the problems have been basically resolved. From now until June 30, 2025, Quang Ngai City is determined to support 100% of households eligible for support from the program to complete the construction and repair of new houses, so that people can soon settle down and have the motivation to improve their lives,” informed Secretary of the Quang Ngai City Party Committee Ngo Van Trong.
