Currently, 196 households have not started construction and repair. Binh Dinh Provincial Party Secretary Ho Quoc Dung requested localities to complete the groundbreaking of all remaining houses before March 31 and complete the entire program before May 31.

Concluding the meeting, the Secretary of the Binh Dinh Provincial Party Committee highly appreciated the efforts of all levels, sectors and localities in implementing the program, contributing to helping the poor, near-poor, and families with meritorious services to the country to settle down. He emphasized that this is a practical activity to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of Binh Dinh province and is also the responsibility of the Party Committee and government to the people.

Mr. Ho Quoc Dung requested localities to carefully review each case, clearly assign responsibilities, and urge serious implementation. At the same time, promote the propaganda work about the significance of the program, mobilize maximum social resources to support disadvantaged households, especially lonely people and people with disabilities.

Regarding support funding, the Secretary of the Binh Dinh Provincial Party Committee assigned the Provincial People's Committee and the Department of Finance to proactively advance the budget for localities to promptly implement, while waiting for the Central Government to allocate funds. Localities need to continue reviewing and making support lists for cases of youth volunteers with degraded housing to have appropriate policies in the coming time.
