Accordingly, most localities have reserved enough land to develop social housing. Many localities have paid attention to and reserved social housing land in favorable locations, near urban centers and industrial parks, to ensure technical infrastructure and social infrastructure such as: Dong Nai (1.231), Ho Chi Minh City (743ha), Tay Ninh (563ha), Ha Tinh (475ha), Hue City (441ha)...
According to the Ministry of Construction - the drafting agency, the development of the Resolution aims to speed up progress and shorten the investment time for the construction of social housing projects.
Create a complete, synchronous, unified legal framework, remove difficulties and obstacles in the construction and development of social housing, meeting current requirements for rapid development. Create more incentive mechanisms to attract businesses to participate in investing in building social housing.
Promoting the development of social housing will have a dual impact: helping low-income people have the opportunity to access suitable housing, associated with the completion of the project implementation target: "Investing in the construction of at least 1 million social housing apartments for low-income people and industrial park workers in the period of 2021 - 2030", while balancing supply - demand, adjusting the structure of real estate goods, thereby reducing the cost of the commercial housing segment, helping the real estate market develop more stably and healthily.
The Resolution aims to create a strong breakthrough in the supply of social housing in 2026 and 2027.
