The Standing Committee of the District Party Committee and the leaders of the District People's Committee regularly and directly go to the grassroots level to direct, inspect, and urge to accelerate the progress of completing the target of eliminating temporary houses in the period of 2024 - 2025; promptly remove difficulties and obstacles for the grassroots level, and encourage people to be determined to complete the construction and repair of houses. Direct communes and towns to promptly disburse funds to households that have started construction according to regulations; working groups provide guidance on payment and settlement records according to regulations, ensuring publicity, transparency, and compliance with the regime; Direct the implementation of lending policies for households that are unable to respond to the Social Policy Bank.

According to the Provincial People's Committee's Plan, the target for 2024 - 2025 is to eliminate 4,244 temporary and dilapidated houses (build 4,154 new houses, repair 90 houses). Up to now, 2,333 houses have been built, reaching 55% of the plan (1,590 houses were built in 2024; from the beginning of 2025 until now, 743 houses have been started). Currently, in Muong Khuong district, there are 1,911 houses that have not started construction; of which 678 households have not registered to build houses (due to lack of counterpart capital; old, weak, lonely, sick; working far away and unable to contact; not old enough to build a house; no land to live on; wanting to build a bigger house later...).

Comrade Giang Seo Van, Secretary of Muong Khuong District Party Committee, reported on the situation and progress of implementing the elimination of temporary houses in the area.

According to the Report, from the capital of the Social Policy Bank, up to now, the list of households building houses has been approved in 5 batches/16 communes and towns with 1,389 households; the list of households registering for loans has been approved in 4 batches/16 communes and towns with 1,320 households. 315 applications have been received and 11.5 billion VND has been disbursed to 230 households. The estimated source of funding for the goal of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses in Muong Khuong district in 2025 is 144,405 million VND; from the Fund for the Poor by the Provincial Fatherland Front 45,805 million VND and from the provincial budget reserve (2 batches) 98,600 million VND.

In the process of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses in the district, there are still some difficulties such as: The rate of poor and near-poor households is still high (nearly 54.5%), so many households do not have the corresponding funding to build houses. The whole district still has 678 households that have not registered to build houses. Some households still have a mindset of waiting and relying on others; some households are satisfied with their current life so they do not have the need to build houses; some households still have the mindset of fear of escaping poverty. Besides, basically, communes in the district still lack construction materials; it is difficult to find house builders. The staff working in natural resources, environment, and land administration is still small, equipment and machinery are not guaranteed while The workload is so large that the issuance of land use right certificates has not met the requirements.

At the meeting, the leaders of Muong Khuong district proposed that the province continue to call on philanthropists, organizations and individuals to provide additional support beyond the support level from the state budget for households in especially difficult circumstances who are unable to respond. Propose that the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee consider allowing Muong Khuong district as well as other localities when they have used up 80 billion VND transferred from the mobilized source of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of the province to the Social Policy Bank for lending, consider continuing to provide additional funding from the provincial budget or from other legal sources to the Social Policy Bank for people in need of loans to improve their housing. Consider supporting additional machinery and technical staff to perform the task of measuring and issuing land use right certificates to people.

The leaders of Ta Ngai Cho commune said that it was difficult to mobilize households to register to build houses; at the same time, they continued to mobilize forces to help and support households to borrow capital to build new houses.

Leaders of Pha Long and Din Chin communes reported some reasons why households did not register to build houses.

The Chairman of Muong Khuong District People's Committee said that he will continue to propagate, mobilize and provide maximum support to groups of people to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses.

Concluding the meeting, comrade Trinh Xuan Truong, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized: Eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses is a major policy of the Party and State, with profound humanitarian significance. Lao Cai is one of the provinces with a large number of temporary and dilapidated houses in the Northern region and the whole country, with more than 11,000 houses. The workload is large while the remaining time for implementation is very short; requiring the determination of all levels, sectors and Muong Khuong district to be even higher.
