They actively propagated the Association's facilities having the supported veteran members to build houses with the help of working days and the house foundation. They selected the practical gifts for the families when handing over and inaugurating a new house”.

Currently, there are more than 10 veteran households still having difficulty in housing, the poverty rate is estimated at 11% in the whole district. In the coming time, the district’s Veterans’ Association will promote the propaganda and closely coordinate with the associations, the unions to direct the grassroots Associations to urgently carry out the remaining works, ensuring the completion of the houses of "The Gratitude of Teammate” according to the set number and target.
