According to the Hanoi Department of Construction, the city is evaluating investment policies for four social housing projects in Dong Anh, Gia Lam, and Me Linh districts. The projects have a total area of over 200 hectares and are expected to provide more than 12,000 units.

In a recent report on social housing development and management, the Hanoi Department of Construction said that the city has 69 projects that have been and are being implemented. From 2021 to present, 8 projects have been fully completed with 10,270 units and 3 projects have been partially completed.

The Department said that from now until the end of next year, 11 projects are expected to be completed with nearly 6,000 units, equivalent to 345,000 square meters of floor space. With a total of 19 units expected to be completed in the 2021-2025 period, the city will achieve more than 78% of the target in the social housing development plan with about 15,440 units, equivalent to 952,000 square meters of floor space.

In the period of 2026 - 2030, it is expected that there will be 50 projects planned to be implemented with nearly 57,200 units, equivalent to 3.2 million square meters of floor space. Of which, the city is appraising the investment policy for 4/5 independent social housing areas, concentrated in Dong Anh, Gia Lam, and Me Linh districts. The projects have a total area of over 200 hectares, providing more than 12,000 units.

Specifically, there are 2 social housing areas in Tien Duong commune (Dong Anh district); a concentrated social housing area in Co Bi commune (Gia Lam district); a concentrated social housing area in Dai Mach commune (Dong Anh district) and Tien Phong commune (Me Linh district).

In addition, the new social housing supply in Hanoi also comes from the conversion of student housing in the new urban area of Phap Van - Tu Hiep into social housing for rent.

According to the Department of Construction, the City People's Committee is currently assigning the department to prepare a project proposal for investment and submit it for approval in 2024. It is expected that the renovation and upgrading of buildings A2 and A3 will be completed in 2026 and the construction of building A4 will be completed in 2027 at the latest.

In addition, the city has assigned the Department of Planning and Architecture to coordinate with the People's Committees of districts, towns, and the Hanoi Industrial and Export Processing Zones Management Board to review and supplement about 15 land funds to create large-scale, independent social housing areas with synchronous infrastructure (about 2,000 social housing apartments/area). In which, it is proposed to select 2-3 areas located near industrial zones to invest in building social housing for rent using public investment capital according to the policy of the Politburo in Directive No. 34 in 2024.

Previously, in a report by the Ministry of Construction in September 2024, Hanoi was assessed as a "slow" locality in developing social housing. According to the Government's project to develop at least 1 million social housing units, by 2025, the city must complete 18,700 apartments. However, over the past 4 years, the city has only had 3 projects started (1,700 units) and 5 projects completed (5,200 units), achieving nearly 37% of the target.
