Settling down is the only way to find a job, but for the poor and those in difficult circumstances, having a solid house to live in is just a dream. To make the dreams of the poor come true, along with creating a livelihood, the province always focuses on mobilizing resources to support poor households to repair and build safe houses, thereby contributing to improving the quality of life for people and sustainable poverty reduction.

Dakrong is a mountainous border district, with nearly 80% of the population being ethnic minorities living scatteredly and with low incomes. Infrastructure is still limited, the level of education is low, there are still bad customs, the ability to access and apply science and technology in production is rarely implemented. In recent times, although the central government and the province have had many support policies to help the poor in the area improve their housing, in reality, many households are still living in simple, temporary houses or have houses but they are not safe.
Implementing the Housing Support Project for Poor and Near-Poor Households in Poor Districts under the National Target Program on Sustainable Poverty Reduction for the 2021-2024 period, Dakrong District was allocated 61,100 million VND from the central budget to support housing construction for poor and near-poor households in the area.
To implement this policy, Dakrong district has issued a specific plan, directing specialized agencies to coordinate with communes and towns to review and determine the number of poor and near-poor households needing support to build new or repair houses in accordance with regulations.
As of June 15, 2024, VND 31,542 million has been disbursed, reaching 51.48% of the plan, building 819 new houses, repairing 148 houses for the poor. It is estimated that by December 31, 2024, VND 57,340 million will be disbursed, reaching 93.85% of the plan, accordingly building 1,273 new houses (1,204 poor households, 69 near-poor households); repairing 322 houses (253 poor households, 69 near-poor households).
The implementation of the program has contributed to fundamentally solving the problem of preventing and mitigating damage caused by storms and floods for the poor in Dakrong district, creating conditions for people to have a safe and stable life, ensuring social security and developing the local economy.
Thanks to that, in the period of 2022-2023, the multidimensional poverty rate in Dakrong district decreased by 13.86%, an average decrease of 4.63%/year. It is estimated that by the end of 2024, the multidimensional poverty rate will decrease to 43.41% with 5,305 poor and near-poor households, of which poor households account for 33.25% with 4,072 households, near-poor households account for 10.07% with 1,233 households.
In recent years, along with the general achievements in socio-economic development, poverty reduction work in the province has achieved encouraging results, the poverty rate has decreased, and the material and spiritual life of the people has gradually improved.
Pursuant to Decree No. 27/2022/ND-CP dated April 19, 2022 of the Government stipulating the management mechanism and organization of implementation of national target programs, the People's Council of Quang Tri province issued Resolution No. 29/2022/NQ-HDND dated June 29, 2022 stipulating the mechanism for resource mobilization and capital integration between national target programs and other programs and project objectives in Quang Tri province for the period 2021-2025.
Based on the central budget support, the Provincial People's Committee has arranged counterpart capital according to the local budget capacity, combined with the mobilization and legal contributions of enterprises, funding sources of domestic and foreign organizations and individuals; counterpart capital, contributions of beneficiaries to organize the implementation of the program.
Along with that, the province also strongly launched a movement to contribute to the "For the Poor" Fund and mobilized socialized funding to share community responsibility to support poor households with housing difficulties to repair and build new houses.
The integration of capital sources in the implementation of programs and projects has effectively promoted resources to complete the set goals. In the period of 2021-2024 alone, the province has supported the repair and construction of 2,133 new houses for poor households and people with housing difficulties with a total cost of VND 103,270 million; of which 1,725 new houses were built with a cost of VND 97,640 million; 408 houses were repaired with a total cost of VND 5,630 million.
The attention of the Party and State, the cooperation and responsibility of all levels, sectors and localities have contributed to helping thousands of poor and near-poor households and policy beneficiaries in the province have housing and stabilize their lives. This is also a great motivation to help the poor rise up and gradually improve their quality of life, building their homeland to develop more and more.
Although the central government and the province have had many policies to support the improvement of housing for the poor, the number of poor households facing housing difficulties in the province is still quite large. Up to now, the housing demand of poor households and policy households in the whole province is 7,607 houses.
In order for poor households, families of revolutionary contributors, and people in difficult circumstances to have stable and safe housing, Party committees and authorities at all levels are continuing to seek support from all levels and from socialized sources to prioritize the implementation of housing support policies for these subjects.
At the same time, actively encourage and guide people in production, economic development, and sustainable poverty reduction. Focus on propaganda and mobilization work to promote people's internal strength to rise up on their own, avoid the mentality of waiting and relying on the support of the State and the help of the community, and gradually develop disadvantaged areas and ethnic minority areas.
