Applying Resolution 98 to build social housing
In the 2021-2025 period, Ho Chi Minh City aims to build 2.5 million square meters of social housing and worker accommodation, equivalent to about 35,000 apartments.
However, up to now, the city has only had two projects completed and put into use with 623 apartments and 7 projects under implementation with 4,996 apartments.
In 2023, the city will have only one social housing project licensed for construction with a scale of 242 apartments. In addition, there are 6 projects under construction with a total of more than 4,700 apartments, expected to be launched in 2024.
Thus, to achieve the planned target, from now until the end of 2025, the city must develop an additional 2 million square meters of floor space with 29,381 apartments, which is very difficult.
Ho Chi Minh City is actively removing and applying Resolution 98 to resolve problems and difficulties in the implementation of social housing projects.
