The Prime Minister has approved the investment project to build at least 1 million social housing apartments for low-income people and industrial park workers in the period of 2021-2030 and recently added more subjects such as cadres, civil servants and public employees with housing difficulties, of which 100,000 apartments must be built in 2025.
