This content is mentioned in the appendix to Resolution No. 216/NQ-CP of the regular Government meeting in July 2026.
Accordingly, the Government Inspectorate is assigned to preside over and coordinate with agencies and localities to continue to effectively implement state management of citizen reception work, closely coordinate with ministries, relevant agencies and People's Committees of provinces and cities in the process of reviewing, inspecting, and promptly resolving complaints and denunciations.
In which, especially cases of mass complaints and denunciations, complex, exceeding levels, prolonged under the direction of Party and State leaders and cases of land acquisition and site clearance related to key national projects and works in localities.
Accelerate the issuance of inspection conclusions, effectively implement Resolutions, Directives, Conclusions of the Politburo, the Secretariat, the Central Steering Committee on Anti-Corruption, Wastefulness, Negative Phenomena and directions of the Government and the Prime Minister, in which focus on completing the specialized inspection of redundant land and housing after arrangement.
On June 24, 2026, the Government issued Resolution No. 31/2026/NQ-CP on specific mechanisms and policies to accelerate the progress of handling and exploiting redundant houses and land after arranging and streamlining the organizational structure of the political system and arranging administrative units.
According to the Resolution, the Chairman of the Commune-level People's Committee is allowed to decide on the conversion of functions for redundant houses and land that have been transferred to the locality and are being managed and handled by the Commune-level People's Committee to public purposes such as flower gardens, playgrounds, community activity points and other public purposes.
Previously, the arrangement of the organizational structure and administrative units was opening a new phase in administrative reform. However, along with the results of streamlining focal points, another problem also exists when thousands of headquarters, houses, and land facilities that no longer need to be used after consolidation need to be relocated soon.
These headquarters will be an important resource contributing to supplementing education, health, and cultural infrastructure, while creating more development space for localities.
According to the Ministry of Finance, there are currently more than 11,000 houses and land facilities nationwide that have been recovered or transferred to localities but still need to be further processed for use. This is a very large-scale asset, stretching from administrative agency headquarters, public service units to many land plots with convenient locations in urban centers or residential areas.
It is noteworthy that while many localities lack schools, health stations, community centers, parking lots or land funds for infrastructure development, many headquarters after arrangement are still closed for many months, even years.
Along with time, the project deteriorates, the budget still has to spend on protection and maintenance, and the locality loses the opportunity to use available resources to solve urgent needs.
From an economic perspective, this is not simply a story of public asset management but also a problem of resource allocation.
The value of a public asset is not only calculated by the money earned from selling or leasing, but also by the socio-economic benefits that the asset can generate if it is arranged in the right function and at the right time.
An old headquarters when renovated into a school will help the locality significantly reduce new construction investment costs and quickly add classrooms for students. A building converted into a health station will improve primary healthcare capacity without having to wait many years to implement a new project.
Even land plots with commercial advantages, if used in accordance with planning, can also generate additional revenue, attract investment and promote service development.
