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.
