Hai Duong (VNA) – The northern province of Hai Duong is striving to eliminate makeshift and dilapidated housing for poor and near-poor households by July 1, 2025, according to Director of the provincial Department of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs Bui Thanh Tung.

The province also plans to complete housing support for revolution contributors and relatives of martyrs now living in temporary or severely damaged homes by October 1, 2025.

To achieve these goals, Hai Duong has outlined a comprehensive budget of 117.2 billion VND (4.68 million USD). The aid for building a new house is 100 million VND (over 3,900 USD), and that for repairing an existing one is 50 million VND.

The central budget will cover 80% of the costs for 1,058 houses designated for revolution contributors and martyrs' relatives. Each newly built house will receive 60 million VND, while 30 million VND will be allocated for repairs to each existing house, amounting to a total of around 36.6 billion VND.

In addition to the central funding, the local budget is expected to contribute 80.6 billion VND.

As of the end of December 2024, 1,568 households in Hai Duong needed housing-related support, comprising 1,058 households of revolution contributors and martyrs' relatives, and 510 poor and near-poor ones./.
