Hanoi (VNA) – The Central Highlands provinces of Gia Lai and Dak Nong are prioritising efforts to do away with substandard housing, striving to provide impoverished and near-poor households with secure and stable living conditions in 2025.

In response to the nationwide programme on the elimination of makeshift and dilapidated housing by 2025, Gia Lai plans to support the construction and renovation of 8,178 homes across the province.

Accordingly, each household will receive 60 million VND (2,362 USD) to build new homes or 30 million VND for renovations, excluding social welfare policy beneficiaries who are unable to contribute financially. The houses will be built on land free of disputes, with designs following standardised templates, ensuring technical, quality, and cultural appropriateness for the local context.

Meanwhile, Dak Nong has established a 26-member steering committee led by provincial Party Committee Secretary Ngo Thanh Danh to oversee the work and devise strategies to meet the province's goal of removing makeshift housing by December 31, 2025.

As part of the 2021–2025 national programmes on sustainable poverty reduction and socio-economic development in mountainous and ethnic minority-inhabited areas, the province has supported the construction and renovation of nearly 400 houses for disadvantaged families. Dak Nong currently identifies over 500 others in need of such assistance, but progress has been delayed due to various challenges./.
