Reviewing unused resettlement housing projects to convert to social housing

CAO NGUYÊN |

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha requested a review of completed resettlement housing projects but not in use to propose allowing the conversion to social housing.

According to Lao Dong, currently, in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, there are tens of thousands of resettlement apartments abandoned, causing a huge waste of land resources and public assets.

Typically, in Hanoi, there are resettlement areas such as Den Lu III (Tan Mai street, Hoang Mai district); resettlement housing areas on Phu Kieu street, Phuc Dien ward, Bac Tu Liem district with 6 apartment buildings; CT1 building under Xuan La resettlement area construction project, Tay Ho district with 2 buildings; Resettlement housing project in Thuong Thanh ward with 5 apartment buildings or at the X2 commercial housing project serving resettlement (in Dai Kim ward, Hoang Mai)...

Meanwhile, many people have saved for many years but still do not have enough money to buy a house.

Mr. Trinh Xuan Tu (born in 1990), has been working in mechanical engineering for more than 10 years and is opening his own shop in Khuong Trung ward, Thanh Xuan district, Hanoi. Mr. Tu said that after many years of hard work, the store has now built a stable customer base, so its income is relatively stable.

However, including savings and monthly money after deducting living expenses and sending it back to his parents, he did not dare to decide to buy a house.

"The price of houses and apartments in Hanoi has increased too quickly in recent times, while my income has not really been sudden. Therefore, although I was very excited about the apartment of more than 60 square meters with air, located in Ha Dong district, being advertised for sale at 3.8 billion VND, I still had to miss the appointment" - Mr. Tu expressed.

While many people do not have enough resources to buy commercial houses, social housing in big cities is not enough. Many resettlement housing areas are falling into a state of abandonment, causing waste...

In the recent announcement No. 256/TB-VPCP of the Government Office on the conclusion of Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha at the meeting to listen to a report on the real estate market situation, it was said that housing real estate prices in urban areas are too high compared to people's income.

In particular, access to housing, especially mid-range housing and social housing, is still difficult, there is also a situation of "pricing, price inflation" pushing land prices too high,...

The Deputy Prime Minister requested the People's Committees of provinces and cities to focus on resolving difficulties and obstacles for real estate projects, reviewing and classifying projects with legal problems so that when the National Assembly allows the expansion of the scope of application, it can be implemented immediately.

Based on demand forecasts, proactively prepare land funds for social housing development in addition to 20% of land funds from commercial housing projects to avoid shortages and excess.

Proactively review resettlement housing projects and commercial housing that have been completed but not used to propose competent authorities to allow conversion to social housing.
