On October 5, 2024, in Hanoi, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired the Program to launch support for eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide with the theme "Warm home for my people".
The policy of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses is one of the major policies of the Party and State, an important political task of all levels, sectors, Party committees, local authorities, unions, enterprises, organizations, and individuals, in order to promote cultural traditions and the spirit of "mutual love" and "helping each other".
The movement "Joining hands to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide in 2025" was launched in April 2024 in Da Bac district - Hoa Binh province, practically aiming to welcome the 14th National Congress of the Party, the 95th anniversary of the Party's founding, the 135th birthday of President Ho Chi Minh, the 80th National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the South and national reunification.

On behalf of the Party and State leaders, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh thanked the noble gestures and important contributions of compatriots and comrades nationwide, of localities to the poor and to this emulation movement with noble humanitarian meaning.
When this program was launched, it was estimated that there were about 170,000 temporary and dilapidated houses that needed to be repaired or rebuilt, and now there are about 153,000 houses left. The goal in 2025 is to complete all three contents: supporting housing for people with meritorious services; supporting housing for people under national target programs; repairing and rebuilding 153,000 houses in the movement to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for poor and near-poor households.
In the program, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh called on compatriots and soldiers nationwide, localities and people to join hands to continue the emulation movement with more acceleration and positivity, with the spirit of "whoever has something helps, whoever has property helps property, whoever has merit helps merit, whoever has little helps little, whoever has much helps much", to complete the goal of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses in 2025 for compatriots, especially ethnic minorities in remote areas, border and island areas and to implement the great policy of the Party and State of "leaving no one behind" in the era of national development.
