Ben Tre needs nearly VND 107 billion to eliminate substandard houses
The Mekong Delta province of Ben Tre needs nearly VND 107 billion (USD 4.2) to replace more than 2,100 substandard houses in the province this year, according to the provincial People’s Committee.
Vice Chairwoman of the committee Nguyen Thi Be Muoi said that the implementation of the program “Joining Hands to Eliminate Temporary and Dilapidated Houses” is a political task that requires the involvement of the entire political system and the community.
In response, the The Ben Tre provincial Fatherland Front Committee has called on businesses, organizations, and individuals both inside and outside the province to join the housing support program.
Besides, the Ben Tre Youth Union has also launched a campaign “Youth Joining Hands to Eliminate Temporary and Dilapidated Housing.”
Running from March to December, this initiative aims to mobilize social resources and youth involvement to build and repair houses for needy families. Youth teams are actively engaged in transporting materials, clearing sites, and directly assisting with construction and repairs.
The union plans to build 30 new houses and repair five existing ones in the period from now to October.
