Ms. Nguyen Thi Hiep and her husband have been working as workers at an seafood processing company in Suoi Dau Industrial Park, in Cam Lam commune, Khanh Hoa province for more than 10 years.
Because their house is more than 60km from their workplace, Ms. Hiep and her husband have to rent a room near the industrial park to conveniently go to work. Each month, the cost of renting a house, electricity and water is about 2.5 million VND. To save money, she chose small rental houses with poor living conditions to live in.
Ms. Hiep said that over the years, I have heard about housing projects for workers at preferential prices. However, I have not seen implementation yet.
"I really hope to have a quality accommodation area, good security, and suitable prices so that workers living far away can work with peace of mind," Ms. Hiep expressed.
According to statistics from the Department of Construction of Khanh Hoa province, in October 2025, the whole province will have 14 land fund planning projects for social housing construction, with a total area of nearly 97 hectares.
There are 10 projects, allocating 20% of land fund for social housing development in commercial housing projects. For industrial park workers' accommodation, the province has allocated land for 8 projects with a total area of 77.4 hectares.
Of which, the largest project is the workers' housing area of Doc Da Trang Industrial Park (Van Hung commune) with an area of 40.0 hectares. For Cam Lam commune, there are 3 projects including: Suoi Dau Industrial Park Workers' Housing (area 9.41ha), neighboring workers' housing in Suoi Dau Industrial Park (area 2ha), social housing in Dien Tho Industrial Cluster (area 1.6ha).
In Nam Cam Ranh commune, there are 2 projects including workers' housing for officers and employees of Khanh Hoa Salanganes Nest Company (area 7.55ha); workers' housing in South Cam Ranh (area 5.70ha).

However, up to now, only 2 projects have been implemented, other projects are still in the process of completing procedures.
