Looking forward to social housing
Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Han, a civil servant from Bac Lieu who moved to Ca Mau to work, shared: My whole family of 2 husbands and 2 children are temporarily renting a small room for living, very cramped but have to try to overcome difficulties to work. Ms. Han hopes that the province will soon resolve the issue so that cadres, civil servants and public employees affected by the merger of provinces can soon access social housing policies to stabilize their lives and work with peace of mind.
Mr. Tran Van Chiem and his wife, both civil servants in Bac Lieu province (old), have now moved to Ca Mau to work. The couple rented a room to live in. He said: If there were social housing, cadres would have less difficulties. It is possible that the state leases, sells in installments or sells cheap land to build it yourself...
