Shelter of affection for workers and the poor in Dak Lak province

Helping workers and the poor settle down and make a living

In early March 2025, Dak Lak Provincial Police simultaneously deployed the construction of houses for poor and near-poor households according to the Project to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in 2025.

Mr. Y Than's family (Buon Ho town) is one of the first households to receive support in this period. For the past 5 years, his family's level 4 house has been seriously degraded. Every time it rains, water leaks everywhere, the whole family has to squeeze into a small corner to do daily activities.

"My family has 7 members, belonging to a poor household. I myself have had a stroke for many years, so it is even more difficult. The old house was built a long time ago, degraded but there are no conditions for repairs. Thanks to the attention of the government, my family now has a new, spacious place to live, can work and produce with peace of mind, raise children to study and determined to escape poverty" - Mr. Y Than emotionally shared.

Similarly, the family of Mr. Y Mac Bya (1996, Krong Buk commune, Krong Pac district) is also in a difficult situation. A seasonal worker with an unstable income, he and his wife have been married for nearly 10 years, have a child in grade 2 but still have to live at home with his biological mother because they are not able to build their own family.

Looking at the new house that is gradually being completed, Mr. Y Mac Bya expressed: My wife and I always hope to have a solid house to work with peace of mind and raise our children well. Working all the time without enough money, now that I have support to build a house, I feel like I have more strength. Life turned a new page, full of hope for the future".

More than 2,000 houses have been started for poor households

According to statistics from Dak Lak Provincial Police, as of mid-April 2025, the whole province has started construction of more than 2,000 houses for poor and near-poor households, reaching more than 70% of eligible households (not including cases with additional documents). Of which, 263 houses have been completed and 41 houses have been handed over for use.

Major General Le Vinh Quy - Director of Dak Lak Provincial Police - affirmed: "The project to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses is an important political task of the police force at all levels this year. As soon as the project was implemented, relevant units started implementing it with a spirit of urgency and determination".

The police force has coordinated to support people in removing difficulties in legal procedures, especially in cases where land is not eligible for construction. The Provincial Police also mobilized businesses and philanthropists to support materially and spiritually; at the same time, called on cadres, party members, union members, civil servants, public employees, armed forces and workers to contribute working days, and work with contractors to speed up the construction progress.

"The ultimate goal is to help poor households in the area soon stabilize their housing, work with peace of mind and escape poverty sustainably" - Major General Quy shared.

Dak Lak province is determined to complete the goal of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses before December 31, 2025, according to the principle of "whose house is completed first, accepted first, handed over first". The implementation process was carried out publicly, transparently, and to the right subjects.

Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Dak Lak Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Dinh Trung emphasized: This is a program of profound humanistic significance, demonstrating the concern of the Party and State for meritorious people, relatives of martyrs, poor and near-poor households with housing difficulties. The elimination of temporary houses not only helps people stabilize their lives but also contributes to ensuring social security, promoting the goal of sustainable poverty reduction".
