Tan Trung Commune: Eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses for poor households

For decades, Mr. Tran Van Tieng's family (Ong Non hamlet, Tan Trung commune) has lived in a dilapidated, leaky 50 ^m2 house with 6 people. He himself has a stroke and is receiving monthly social protection from the State. The family's life depends on only a few fields of rice to grow crops, so it is extremely difficult.

Handing over the house to Mr. Tran Van Tieng's family.

Due to the difficult circumstances, although the house has been in disrepair for many years, the local authorities have repeatedly called on benefactors to support the cost of building a house, but the family has refused because they do not have enough money to repair the house. A sturdy house, enough to protect the whole family from the sun and rain, is an impossible dream for Mr. Tieng's family...

But then his seemingly hopeless wish came true. On January 21, 2025, the People's Committee of Go Cong City issued a plan to implement the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses in the city. Understanding the difficult circumstances of Mr. Tieng's family, the local Party Committee and government called for support and support for his family to build a spacious and solid house with a total amount of 110 million VND.

Mr. Tieng said: “When the commune officials came to survey and informed that my family was eligible for support to build a house, I was extremely moved. During the construction period, thanks to the uncles and aunts of the commune People's Committee, the hamlet chief and the people in the neighborhood who came to encourage, share, and join hands to support material and labor so that the house could be completed soon. Having a new house, my family members are very excited, this is also the motivation for us to strive to develop the economy and stabilize our lives."

Sharing the same poverty, the family of Mrs. Vo Thi Phi (Go Xoai hamlet, Tan Trung commune) is over 80 years old this year, the family's economy is difficult, and she is considered a poor household in the commune. She lives alone, for many years she has lived in a house with a corrugated iron roof and shabby iron walls.

With the attention of the Party and the State, Ms. Phi was supported with 60 million VND to build a new solid house with an area of ​​28 m2, which was an extremely great joy for her. Ms. Phi emotionally shared: “Receiving 60 million VND to have a solid house to protect from the sun and rain. I would like to thank the State and local authorities for their attention and help. This is a very big gift, I cannot express it in words”.

In recent years, the movement to eliminate temporary housing has helped stabilize and improve people's lives, while contributing to ensuring security, order and social safety, especially when there was Directive 42 dated November 9, 2024 of the Prime Minister. Tan Trung commune always seeks and creates new and effective ways to meet the dual goal of helping people have stable housing while ensuring security and order in the locality.
