PHẠM ĐÔNG |

The Government assigns social housing development targets to localities, in which Ho Chi Minh City, Bac Ninh, and Hanoi are the provinces and cities with the highest targets.

The Government has just issued Resolution No. 7/NQ-CP dated January 12, 2026 on assigning social housing (NOXH) development targets to localities in the period 2026-2030.

Accumulated to the end of December 2025, the whole country has 698 social housing projects being implemented with a scale of 657,441 units, of which: 193 projects completed, scale of 169,143 units; 200 projects have started construction, being implemented with a scale of 134,111 units (of which in 2025 90 new projects started with a scale of 95,630 units, completed 102,633/100,275 units, reaching 102%); 305 projects were approved for investment policy, scale of 354,187 units.

Thus, the number of completed projects, started construction, and approved investment policies by 2025 reached 62% compared to the target set out in the Project (investing in construction of about 1,062,200 units).

Although social housing development has had progress in recent times, to achieve the project's goal of completing the construction of at least 1 million social housing units by 2030, the task is still very heavy with a large workload.

Therefore, to complete the goals of the entire project, the Government unanimously directs all levels, sectors, and localities to develop social housing as an important political task, demonstrating the good nature of the regime, associated with the goal of socio-economic development, ensuring social security and stabilizing people's lives.

Mobilizing social resources, especially large real estate businesses, with capacity, experience, social responsibility, "with heart and vision", and at the same time selecting large localities with high social housing needs to implement.

By 2030, it is necessary to complete or exceed the set target of investing in building at least 1 million social housing apartments for low-income people and industrial park workers.

Localities, based on the social housing development targets assigned above, implement the completion or exceeding of targets to contribute to the completion of the common goal of the whole country.

The Government assigns the Ministry of Construction to monitor, guide, urge, and summarize the implementation results of localities, and periodically report to the Prime Minister.

The provincial People's Committee includes the targets for social housing development for each year assigned in this Resolution in the annual socio-economic development plan for implementation. For projects that have started construction, it is necessary to urge project investors to focus resources to implement and be determined to complete them in 2026.

Organize the preparation and approval of a list of land locations that have been identified for the development of social housing, social housing projects; arrange sufficient land funds to invest in building social housing in convenient and synchronous locations with technical infrastructure and social infrastructure.

Relevant ministries, branches and localities within the scope of assigned functions and tasks proactively monitor, inspect, supervise, and evaluate the situation of social housing development.

Strengthen community supervision activities so that projects and works are implemented in accordance with planning and design, ensuring quality and avoiding loss and waste.
