Quang Tri (VNA) – The Ministry of Public Security and authorities of the north-central province of Quang Tri on March 17 held a ceremony to inaugurate a model home and officially launch the construction of 1,143 houses for disadvantaged families in Lia commune, Huong Hoa district.

As part of a nationwide campaign on joining hands to eradicate temporary and dilapidated housing, the ministry has mobilised funding worth 80 billion VND (3.13 million USD) for the construction. With prefabricated structures, the houses are designed to adapt to the geography, climate, and cultural practices of ethnic minority communities in the area. Each unit, expected to have a lifespan of over 10 years, is valued at at 90 million VND, of which 70 million VND is funded by the ministry and the remainder by the province.

Speaking at the ceremony, Lieutenant General Pham The Tung, Deputy Minister of Public Security, expressed his hope that once residents move into their new, secure homes, they will strive to overcome difficulties, improve their livelihoods, and actively participate in ensuring local security.

Tung highlighted eliminating substandard housing as an important task that must be completed by the end of October this year as set by the Government, ensuring that no citizen is left in unsafe housing.

On this occasion, the ministry also presented 12 gift packages to disadvantaged households./.
