Housing support for relatives of martyrs and revolutionary contributors must be completed before July 27, according to the official dispatch signed on Sunday.
In the dispatch, the PM said eliminating temporary or dilapidated houses is an important political task, demonstrating the profound humanistic values and special attention of the Party and State to the people, especially housing for revolutionary contributors, relatives of martyrs, poor households, and near-poor households.
To date, authorities nationwide had repaired or constructed 205,000 houses for disadvantaged households in 21 of 63 provinces and cities.
The Prime Minister has assigned specific tasks to each relevant ministry, sector, and locality to carry out the plan according to schedule.
