Visiting and presenting gifts to households, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh was delighted with the spacious apartments and highly appreciated the efforts and approach of Bac Ninh province in implementing social housing projects.
The Prime Minister stated that ensuring housing and settling down is an important factor in attracting human resources and labor, thereby strongly attracting investment for rapid and sustainable development, especially in a province with strong industrial development like Bac Ninh.
The Prime Minister emphasized that recently, the Government has paid great attention to the housing issue for workers and laborers with many policies and solutions to remove difficulties, and requested ministries, branches and localities to focus on removing obstacles and promoting the development of social housing. This is a major policy of the Party and State in ensuring social security and is an issue that people are very concerned about.
The Prime Minister noted that social housing is given preferential treatment in terms of loans, land, etc., so its prices are more suitable for low-income people and workers.
Fast procedures and fast construction also help reduce costs and prices. However, infrastructure for transportation, electricity, water, social infrastructure, health care, education, sanitation, environment, etc. must be fully guaranteed and convenient for people as with commercial housing projects.
The Prime Minister requested Bac Ninh to continue promoting the achieved results, actively and effectively contributing with the whole country to implement the Project to invest in building at least 1 million social housing apartments in the 2021-2030 period.
According to the report of Bac Ninh province, the whole province has been implementing 54 social housing projects for low-income people and housing for industrial park workers. Of which, 29 projects have been completed, partially completed, under construction, 25 projects are in the preparation stage for investment and construction.
The total land area of the projects is about 173 hectares. When completed, the projects will provide about 7.1 million square meters of floor space with more than 77,000 apartments for about 231,000 people.
Previously, Bac Ninh province encountered many difficulties and obstacles in mechanisms and policies in developing social housing. However, in July 2023, during a working trip to Bac Ninh, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh visited a number of projects in the area, then directed a working group to work directly with the province to remove obstacles and difficulties.
Implementing the Project "Investing in the construction of at least 1 million social housing apartments for low-income people and industrial park workers in the period of 2021-2030" approved by the Prime Minister, Bac Ninh province will develop 30,600 apartments in the period of 2021-2025 and 41,500 apartments in the period of 2026-2030.
