Striving to leave no one behind

Up to now, Thanh Hoa province has started construction of 3,697 houses for poor households, policy families, and households with housing difficulties according to Directive 22 of the Provincial Party Committee.

Mrs. Pham Thi Thanh Thuy.

To better understand these efforts, Dai Doan Ket Newspaper reporter had a conversation with Ms. Pham Thi Thanh Thuy - Head of the Provincial Party Committee's Mass Mobilization Committee, Chairwoman of the Thanh Hoa Provincial Fatherland Front Committee.

Reporter: It is known that according to the plan, Thanh Hoa province will support the construction of houses for more than 5,000 poor households, policy households, and households with housing difficulties in 2024-2025. Could you please tell us some results calculated at the present time?

Ms. Pham Thi Thanh Thuy: After nearly 9 months of launching, as of December 5, 2024, the total amount of support received by the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee at 3 levels of Thanh Hoa province is more than 226 billion VND. Of which, 11 mountainous districts reached nearly 40 billion VND; 16 lowland districts reached nearly 155 billion VND. From the above funding source, the Steering Committees at all levels have allocated nearly 145.8 billion VND. Of which, the Provincial Steering Committee allocated 55.82 billion VND, with the number of supported houses being 1,420 households, the District Steering Committee allocated nearly 90 billion VND. The total number of houses started under Directive No. 22 and integrated with national target programs and Project 4845 of Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee is 3,697, of which 1,998 houses have been completed (2,953 newly built, 744 repaired).

Leaders of Thanh Hoa Provincial Party Committee and delegates attended the groundbreaking ceremony of houses for poor households and policy households with housing difficulties.

So what measures has the Thanh Hoa Provincial Fatherland Front taken to call on and mobilize the community to join hands in eliminating temporary houses?

- To achieve this goal is a huge challenge for those working in the Front in particular and the whole Thanh Hoa province in general, in the context of many economic difficulties. The Fatherland Front at all levels and in each locality has organized propaganda and dissemination to all levels, sectors, agencies, units, enterprises, cadres, party members and people of all walks of life... to clearly understand the content, purpose and significance of the movement, creating high consensus in organizing and implementing. Through that, promoting the spirit of "mutual love and affection", joining hands, contributing to help, creating conditions for poor households, policy households, and households with housing difficulties to soon have stable and safe housing.

At the same time, arouse the will of self-reliance, self-improvement, and proactive improvement of poor households, policy households, and households with difficulties; propagate and mobilize households and relatives to proactively prepare land, participate in contributing human resources, working days, and mobilize other legal sources of funding to complete the construction and repair of houses. Timely detect and commend outstanding collectives and individuals, good models, and effective methods, creating a strong spread in society.

In addition, the work of receiving, managing and publicizing support sources is carried out promptly, transparently and in accordance with the law; using support and sponsorship sources ensures the highest mobilization of all resources from society to complete the set goals in the shortest time.

Many people are still wondering, with the support amount of 80 million VND/household, it will be difficult for poor households and policy households to build a solid house. So, what is the solution to this problem, madam?

- It is true that with the level of support as the question raises, it is very difficult to build a 3-hard house (hard foundation, solid wall, hard roof) and complete housing for poor households. Therefore, in addition to the support of the State, poor households really need the participation of the whole community. In fact, there have been many households, based on the support of the province, Party committees, authorities; the Fatherland Front has mobilized clans, villages to support additional funding; businesses to support additional materials; mass organizations, armed forces to support construction days... after completion, there are houses worth up to hundreds of millions of VND thanks to contributions and cooperation from many sources. Here, we must especially promote and commend the spirit of promoting all resources in society, all for the people. Everyone contributes what they have to build Great Unity houses for the poor and those with housing difficulties in the best possible conditions.

According to statistics, the number of poor households and policy beneficiaries needing support to build new houses is very large. So in the coming time, what is the plan of the Thanh Hoa Provincial Fatherland Front Committee and its member organizations, Madam?

- The plan to build 5,000 houses in 2 years (2024 - 2025) is just a small part of a long-term policy of the province. According to the review and statistics, there are currently more than 16,000 cases in the whole province that need support. This is a very large number and poses many challenges for Thanh Hoa. In the coming time, we will focus on implementing a number of key tasks such as: Continuing to advise, direct, guide the drastic, flexible, creative and effective implementation of the Prime Minister's Directive on the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide and Directive No. 22 of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee...

The Vietnam Fatherland Front takes the lead in coordinating with member organizations to actively respond to the movement "Joining hands for the poor - leaving no one behind" launched by the Prime Minister and the Program for socio-economic development in mountainous areas and sustainable poverty reduction for the period 2021-2026. Every year, develop a plan to implement the movement, develop a plan to mobilize and support the construction of Great Solidarity houses for poor households, and replicate sustainable poverty reduction models.

Coordinate, review, and synthesize the number of poor households in each locality and unit to have a plan to mobilize, support, and help. Apply information technology, build data software, manage the poor, the Fund for the Poor and relief work in the province, period 2025 - 2029; promote the role of members of the Steering Committee for the Poor at all levels in the province. In addition, continue to have appropriate forms to commend and honor collectives and individuals with good and creative ways of doing things, actively contributing to hunger eradication, poverty reduction and supporting the Fund for the Poor at all levels.

Thank you very much!
