The report on the results of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide showed that the country still has over 223,140 temporary and dilapidated houses. As of March 6, 2025, support has been provided to eliminate 121,638 houses (achieving 54.5%), of which 65,564 houses have been completed and inaugurated, and 56,074 new houses have been started.

From now until December 31, 2025, 101,508 houses need to be completed, including approximately 70,000 houses under the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses.

Regarding funding support, to date, agencies, units, banks, corporations, and enterprises have transferred 2,230 out of VNĐ 3,464 billion as per the resource mobilization plan launched on October 5, 2024 (achieving 64.4%). The remaining agencies and units have planned to complete the transfer of support funds in the second quarter of 2025 to enable localities to carry out the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses. By the end of February 2025, the Central “For the Poor” Fund had received over VNĐ 80 billion to support the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses and allocated VNĐ 13.74 billion to support the construction and repair of 320 houses for poor and near-poor households in Cà Mau and Nghệ An provinces.

Regarding the implementation results of localities, to date, six provinces and cities have completed the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses; ten localities have achieved high implementation results, including Nghệ An, Sóc Trăng, Hà Giang, Lào Cai, Đồng Tháp, and Cà Mau provinces. Alongside the achievements, some localities still face difficulties in mobilizing resources, lack determination in implementation, have not thoroughly studied central guidance documents, and have modest results.
