Implementing the direction and guidance of the Central and the province on eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses, since the end of 2024, Quynh Nhai district has urgently reviewed and made a list of poor households and families in need of housing support. Priority is given to households with meritorious services to the revolution, relatives of martyrs, poor and near-poor households, lonely elderly people with no place to rely on, and extremely disadvantaged households... On that basis, a list of households in need of housing support is made and a plan is made for the time schedule for repair or new construction, to ensure that support for eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses is given to the right beneficiaries.

Through screening, the whole district has 99 households with housing difficulties in need of support, of which 57 houses need to be newly built, 42 houses need to be repaired, with a total cost of 4.68 billion VND. On that basis, the district has made a detailed plan, assigned tasks to specialized departments, communes and towns, and set a goal of completing the elimination of 99 temporary and dilapidated houses before April 30, 2025. Of which, before the Lunar New Year, 21 houses were eliminated, with a support level of 60 million VND for newly built houses and 30 million VND for households in need of repair.

As one of the households who were able to move into a new house before Tet, Mrs. Lo Thi Phao, Bung Lanh sub-district, Muong Giang town, emotionally said: My house used to be very crooked, it leaked in the rainy season, and was windy in the winter, my old husband and I lived very miserably. Thanks to the State's care and support, we have a solid, cozy house to live in when we are old. We don't know what else to say, we are very grateful to the officials.

Right after the Lunar New Year holiday, Quynh Nhai district continued to concentrate on completing the construction and repairing of the remaining houses as planned. In addition to the prescribed support capital, the district called for and mobilized additional support resources from agencies, businesses and the community with the spirit of "Whoever has something to contribute, whoever has merit to contribute, whoever has property to contribute, whoever has a lot to contribute a lot, whoever has little to contribute a little". In particular, mobilizing youth union members, police, women's union members, veterans... to contribute to building gratitude houses.

Through screening, Muong Sai and Ca Nang communes have the highest number of households in need of housing support in the entire district, each commune has 22 households. Overcoming difficulties due to the area being far from the district center and being separated by the lake, the communes are determined to coordinate to complete the goal of eliminating temporary houses in the area.

Mr. Lo Van Hong, Chairman of Muong Sai Commune People's Committee, informed: Most of the households receiving support to remove temporary houses are in mountainous villages with difficult transportation. The commune has mobilized forces, especially youth union members, relatives and family members in the village to participate in helping households build new or repair houses, each household spending 25-30 working days. As of March 24, Muong Sai has completed the construction of 15 new houses and repaired 7 houses for poor households.

Quynh Nhai district leaders inspected the work of removing temporary houses in Ca Nang commune.

Among the 22 households receiving housing support in Muong Sai commune, there are many families in particularly difficult circumstances, old and homeless. Ms. Lo Thi Dien, from It village, is 93 years old this year, living alone in a dilapidated, makeshift house. Now with support, Ms. Dien's new house was completed in early March 2025. Ms. Dien was moved: I didn't think I could live in a new house as cozy and sturdy as this. I thank the Party, the State and the officials very much.

The work of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses in Quynh Nhai has been proactively implemented by localities in accordance with the actual conditions at the grassroots level. For example, Muong Giang town has mobilized cadres and party members in the whole town to contribute from 20,000 VND/person, a total of 30 million VND, along with hundreds of working days to support 15 households to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses. Communes have also mobilized forces to participate in helping with working days from demolishing old houses, leveling the ground, transporting materials, helping the construction unit quickly complete the houses. Among them, Ca Nang commune has mobilized nearly 550 working days to support the elimination of 22 temporary houses; Chieng Khoang commune has mobilized nearly 270 working days to support the elimination of 10 temporary houses, Chieng Bang commune has mobilized more than 300 working days to help 9 households build new and repair houses....

In addition to the support capital according to the province's regulations, Quynh Nhai district has balanced the budget to save 5% of regular expenditure in 2024. At the same time, 3.3 billion VND was mobilized from socialized capital to carry out the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses in this period. Of which, the Military Industry - Telecommunications Group supported 2.25 billion VND; Vietnam Electricity Group supported 500 million VND; Pham family - Thanh Hoa and Tong family - Son La supported 550 million VND. This is a great contribution, providing practical support for the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses in Quynh Nhai district.

Comrade Dinh Trung Dung, Secretary of Quynh Nhai District Party Committee, said: Right from the stage of reviewing the housing support beneficiaries, the Standing Committee of Quynh Nhai District Party Committee has directed strongly, assigned tasks to members of the Steering Committee, specialized departments and offices of the district and provided detailed instructions to communes and villages to support the right beneficiaries. At the same time, assigned specific responsibilities to cadres, party members, especially heads of Party committees in the implementation. Conduct regular inspections and supervisions, report daily progress, urge construction to ensure quality according to requirements and progress, helping to soon bring new houses to families. As of March 25, the whole district has completed the elimination of 99 temporary and dilapidated houses for beneficiary households in the district, 1 month earlier than the set plan.

The completion of the work of eliminating temporary and dilapidated houses ahead of schedule is a testament to the determination and efforts of the Party Committee and authorities at all levels of Quynh Nhai district in implementing the set plan. This is also the result of the consensus and joint efforts, arousing the spirit of solidarity and sharing of the whole community working together for the poor. The 99 completed houses mean that 99 more families have a new place to "settle down", more strength to escape poverty and stabilize their lives.
