To complete the social housing development target in 2025, the Provincial People's Committee has directed functional departments and branches to promptly remove difficulties and obstacles in the implementation process. In particular, the focus is on accelerating the progress of 4 projects including: Social housing project under Project No. 1 of Thanh Hoa City Center; Social housing project for workers in the eastern area of Le Mon Industrial Park; Social housing project in Quang Thanh ward; and Social housing project in Nam Ngan ward. These four projects are highly feasible, expected to add about 3,500 apartments, bringing the total number of apartments completed in 2025 to more than 5,300 apartments.
According to the representative of the Department of Construction of Thanh Hoa province, although there are many projects that are being implemented, there are many difficulties, of which the main reason is lack of capital and long legal procedures, leading to slow progress. However, with the drastic direction of the province and the involvement of the functional industry, the removal of difficulties, speeding up the project is expected to meet the set targets.
Preventing profiteering from social housing sales
Also according to the representative of the Department of Construction of Thanh Hoa province, regarding the purchase and sale of social housing, this unit has sent a document to investors and real estate trading floors, requesting compliance with regulations in resolving the purchase, lease, and hire-purchase of social housing in the province.
The issuance of documents comes from the situation in recent years in Thanh Hoa City, when the phenomenon of real estate and individual trading floors appeared, individuals "for sale", suggest "receive deposits", receive "consulting fees" to support the procedures for the purchase of social housing at some projects. Therefore, the Department of Construction requires the investor to publish the public information publicity so that people can know and prepare the registration dossier; at the same time monitor and monitor the process of receiving documents.
The investor must directly receive the application for registration, hire, hire to buy social housing and carefully check each file according to the prescribed form. The registrationer must commit to the proposed content and the right subjects as prescribed before the investor summarizes the list to the Department of Construction. At the same time, the investor may only sign a purchase contract when customers are eligible and when the selling price has been appraised and approved by competent agencies.
The Department of Construction also thoroughly grasps that the purchase, lease, and hire-purchase of social housing cannot be done through trading floors not owned by investors; speculation and reselling are strictly prohibited in violation of regulations. Organizations and individuals who commit acts of brokerage "selling", accepting "deposits" and "counseling fees" in violation of regulations will be strictly handled according to the law.
