Mr. Hyon, residing in Dak Djrang commune, Mang Yang district, shared: "After many years of hard work, I now have the opportunity to live in a spacious, clean and beautiful house supported by the Ministry of Public Security and the government. Having a house makes me feel secure living, working, producing and protecting my hometown.
According to the Steering Committee for Eliminating Temporary and Dilapidated Houses in Gia Lai Province, with 8,485 houses, it is a large number and a lot of work.
