Nguyen Phi Long, alternate Member of the Party
Central Committee, Secretary of the Hoa Binh Party Committee, and head of the
steering committee, delivers the concluding remarks.
According to a report by the provincial chapter of the
Vietnam Fatherland Front, Hoa Binh has recorded 3,194 cases of makeshift or
degraded housing. Of these, 2,417 homes are set for rebuild and 777 for repair.
As of May 14, 2,149 new houses had been completed and handed over, with work
underway on a further 184. Meanwhile, 613 homes had been repaired, with another
61 under renovation. A total of 103 households had opted out of repairs due to
various personal circumstances.
Three localities – Luong Son, Lac Thuy districts and Hoa
Binh city – have completed the programme. The remaining seven districts have
committed to completion on schedule by the end of this May. All cities and
districts have secured sufficient funding for the effort.
Support has been provided in accordance with set principles:
each eligible household may receive up to 60 million VND (2,311 USD) for new
construction or 30 million VND for repairs, funded through the provincial "For
the Poor” Fund. Additional assistance in the form of labour and locally
available building materials is contributed by local authorities, residents,
and socio-political organisations.
The assistance process has been conducted transparently and
in a manner that respects the customs, practices, and living conditions of
beneficiary families, while also aligning with the cultural identities of local
ethnic communities.
In his closing remarks, the provincial Party leader stressed
that the housing programme had successfully mobilised resources from the
community and broader society, helping to improve living standards for poor,
near-poor, and policy-beneficiary households, as well as ethnic minorities and
other vulnerable groups.
He also called for its acceleration and urged localities to
implement further housing support under two national target programmes
targeting revolutionary contributors and families of fallen soldiers.
In the spirit of "Party members go first, the people follow”, all households of Party members in the Doan Ket sub-region in Da Bac town, Da Bac district, voluntarily removed gates and fences, and donated land when the road expansion project passed through their properties. Inspired by their example, 68 households in the sub-region quickly followed suit, contributing over 1,400 sq.m of residential and perennial cropland to widen the main road through the residential area. The exemplary role of Party members in Doan Ket stands as a shining example of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality, and lifestyle.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee held a monthly meeting on May 29 to assess the implementation of socio-economic development tasks in the first six months of 2025, the progress of key projects, and some other important issues.
During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh always expressed his deep affection and special concern for children and youth. He once emphasized: "Caring for and educating children well is the responsibility of the entire Party and the entire people”; "First of all, the family (i.e. grandparents, parents, siblings) must do this job well”. "the Party Committees…, the Children’s Committee, the Youth Union, the education sector, and all related organizations must have specific plans to ensure children grow healthier and more progressive”. His teachings has been remaining valuable and serving as the guiding principles in the work of protecting, caring for, and educating children. In line with this ideology, Hoa Binh Province has continuously been prioritizing and investing resources in the well-being of children in recent years.
