In the locality, the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committees at all levels have coordinated to advise the Steering Committees to organize the Launching Ceremony to respond and support the Program, issue a Call to mobilize all levels, sectors, each household, each residential area.
Along with that, the Front and its member organizations strive to participate in mobilizing and mobilizing resources, spreading the spirit of volunteerism, calling on mass forces, joining hands to support the construction of houses for households with many models and methods of doing things that are very proactive and creative. Implement the motto of the Prime Minister: "Whoever has something to contribute, whoever has merits to contribute, whoever has property to contribute, whoever has a lot to contribute a lot, whoever has little to contribute a little". At the central level, the Front has coordinated to mobilize businesses, organizations and individuals to donate over 350 billion VND; locally, the Front, together with the member agencies of the Steering Committee, organized to call on organizations and individuals to mobilize support for funding and materials, especially mobilizing a large number of union members and members of the Farmers' Association, Women's Union, Youth Union, Veterans' Union... together with the Army and Police forces to support millions of working days to help families build houses.
In addition, the Vietnam Fatherland Front has performed well its function as a focal point for receiving and managing the use of support funds from organizations and individuals through the "For the Poor" Fund to deploy support to the people. To facilitate the support of housing construction funds, the Prime Minister has proposed that the Front receive and use funds through the "For the Poor" Fund at all levels. According to the report of the Central Steering Committee, the budget mobilized for the program is over VND24,200 billion, most of which is received through the local Fund for the Poor. Up to now, no errors have been detected in the management and use of funding sources at the Mobilization Committees at all levels.
Not only that, the Vietnam Fatherland Front has synchronously deployed the work of supervising the implementation of the State's policies on housing support and the implementation of the Program. The Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front has issued a Plan to supervise the implementation of housing support policies for people with revolutionary contributions, poor households, and near-poor households; guide the Front Committees of provinces and cities to conduct inspections and supervision, ensuring proper support for the target, fairness, publicity, and transparency. At the same time, the Front Committees at all levels promptly took forms of thanks, gratitude, encouragement, and reward for units, organizations, and individuals who have made many contributions to the Program.

"The results of the Program will be valuable experiences, a model for us to continue to launch and implement social security programs nationwide in the coming time," Ms. Ha Thi Nga emphasized.
Vice President Ha Thi Nga shared that in the heroic atmosphere of the historic August autumn, we feel more clearly than ever the emotions, joy and excitement of hundreds of thousands of households across the country when the dream of having a new, spacious and sustainable house, a house "rip-up, lasting down", "comfortable, warm-hearted", and then "set down, settle down, and make a living", has become a reality right on the occasion of the nation's independence. This will be an important condition to add motivation, opening up a new, better future for millions of people.
The Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front respectfully thanks the close attention and strong direction of the Party and State leaders in the past time; the close coordination of departments, ministries, branches and localities. Inheriting the achieved results, in the coming time, the Vietnam Fatherland Front will continue to play a good role as a center for community connection, further promoting the tradition of national solidarity so that patriotic emulation movements and campaigns can be implemented to achieve the highest, most practical and effective results, Ms. Ha Thi Nga emphasized.
