The city is examining 12 other projects for the purpose.

Becoming a social-housing project helps housing projects sell their apartments quickly, given that customers who buy flats in the projects have access to low-interest rate loans from the Government’s 30-trillion-VND (1.38 billion USD) credit package.-VNA
