In this dispatch, the Ministry of Construction requested the People's Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities to regularly direct and urge investors of licensed social housing projects to focus maximum resources on construction and early completion in 2025.

The People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities shall, based on their tasks, powers and authority, perform a number of tasks.

Specifically, for projects that have started construction, it is necessary to urge investors to focus resources on implementation, determined to complete in 2025.

Localities are responsible for reviewing the 20% land area reserved for social housing construction in commercial housing projects and social housing projects that have been approved for investment policy, selecting investors to require investors to complete procedures to start construction of social housing in 2025.

For commercial housing projects and urban areas that have been approved in principle to hand over land funds for social housing construction to the State for use in order to assign other organizations to invest in social housing construction but have not yet implemented the handover, the investment policy approval document shall be considered and the investor of that commercial social housing project shall be assigned to directly invest in social housing construction with a commitment to complete the procedures to start construction within 12 months.

Local People's Committees urgently complete procedures to approve investment policies and select investors for social housing land funds already in the planning.

At the same time, continue to review and supplement urban planning and industrial park planning, ensuring sufficient land for social housing development, including worker accommodation and housing for the people's armed forces, strictly implementing regulations on reserving land for worker accommodation in industrial parks and 20% of residential land in commercial housing projects and urban areas for social housing investment according to the law.
