At the local meeting on March 6, Nguyen Duc Chung, Chairman of the Hanoi Municipal People’s Committee stated that the management of social housing has been lax with the type of house buyers yet to be  determined with clarity.

Therefore, the website will not only help buyers register for purchasing social housing but also make clear their responsible for the registered purchase.

He noted that the functional units should clearly provide the criteria of people who are eligible to buy social housing. Additionally, the spouses from one family would not be allowed to possess two social houses.

He also proposed confiscating a social building of a resident who fails to dwell in it after three months since it is transferred, except in special situations with persuasive reasons.

In Vietnam, social housing is a type of accommodation constructed by the government, organizations or individuals, intended for purchase or rent by residents, especially for low-income ones.
