By 2022, the province had 21,138 poor and near-poor households with substandard housing area and quality. Since 2022, Quang Ngai has provided support to repair and build over 7,000 houses for poor and near-poor households.
Of the financial support, funds from national programs on sustainable poverty reduction were used to repair and build 4,281 houses.
Meanwhile, resources from the State, Vietnam Fatherland Front at all levels and organizations in the province were mobilized to repair and build houses for 2,721 households.
According to the provincial People’s Committee, more than 4,000 poor and near-poor households in the province will get support to repair and build houses in 2025 with funding from national programs.
The other 8,000 poor and near-poor households in the province still need to repair their houses or build new ones. Of these, 4,161 households have not had houses or are living in temporary or dilapidated houses while 3,704 poor households in rural areas and flood-prone areas need to build or repair houses.
To realize the housing target, Quang Ngai continues to mobilize resources from the "Fund for the Poor", the "Fund to Eliminate Temporary/Dilapidated Houses"; and receive the support of organizations, individuals, units, and enterprises, the official said, adding that the province has stepped up communications and encouraged people to make efforts to escape poverty and build houses by themselves.
The provincial People's Committee proposed the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee establish a provincial steering committee for the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses, Tuan said.
Districts and communes will also have set up similar steering committees, which are expected to help the province realize the target of eliminating all temporary and dilapidated houses by the end of 2025, he added.
