A new house is under construction in Minh Cuong A hamlet of Minh Thuan commune, U Minh Thuong district, Kien Giang province. |
He said local authorities must strictly manage funds, ensure transparency, and oversee construction progress. They are also tasked with identifying families in need to secure additional support.
The program has received strong directions from the provincial Party Committee as well as financial contributions from organizations and individuals within and outside the province. With active participation from the entire political system and widespread public support, it has helped foster social solidarity and enhance rural development efforts.
This year, Kien Giang aims to assist with building 2,314 new houses, including 989 for poor households and 1,325 for near-poor ones, and repairing 485 houses, with a total cost exceeding VND 153 billion (USD 6,000).
As of now, the province has commenced construction on 920 new houses (39.7% of the target), 335 of which have been completed and handed over. Meanwhile, repairs have started for 326 others (67.2% of the target), with work on 28 already completed.
Four localities, including Giong Rieng, An Bien and Giang Thanh districts and Ha Tien city, have handed over 111 new houses for needy families, meeting their targets, reported the provincial Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee.
To date, the province has secured 101.4 billion VND, covering 66% of the required funding, for the program. As 51.99 billion VND is still needed, it is pushing ahead with communications to raise public awareness and encourage broad participation from the community, businesses, and organizations to ensure success.
