On the Government Portal, Mr. K.A.T in Hanoi reported that his father is a retired cadre and receives allowances for resistance fighters infected with toxic chemicals.
Recently, in Mr. T's hometown (Ninh Binh), there have been a number of social housing projects, so is his father eligible for priority to buy social housing or not (no houses or land in the locality yet)?
The Ministry of Construction responds to this issue as follows:

"1. People with revolutionary contributions and relatives of martyrs who are eligible for support to improve their housing according to the provisions of the Ordinance on Incentives for People with Revolutionary contributions.
2. Poor and near-poor households in rural areas.
