Social housing project in Thuy Van 2 Complex, Area B of An Van Duong new urban area

The City People's Committee has just issued a decision regulating cases where people who own a house but are far from their workplace are entitled to social housing support policies in the city.

Accordingly, in case the beneficiaries of the social housing support policy have houses that they own but are far from their workplace, they can buy or rent social housing in the city according to the provisions of Clause 2, Article 9 of Resolution No. 201/2025/QH15 dated May 29, 2025 of the National Assembly on piloting a number of specific mechanisms and policies for social housing development.

Specifically, the house owned by the owner is located outside the 20km radius from the workplace and outside the 10km radius from the social housing project. The distance from the social housing project to the workplace must be shorter than the distance from the current house to the workplace.

The selected social housing project is not located in the same commune-level administrative unit (after merger) as the housing owned by the beneficiaries of social housing support policies. The location of the housing, workplace, and social housing is determined based on the shortest route from the owned housing to the workplace by common means of transport (motorbike) on the Google Maps digital platform.

The City People's Committee requests the Department of Construction to preside over and coordinate with relevant departments, branches, and People's Committees of wards and communes to guide the implementation of this regulation. Investors of social housing construction investment projects shall study and receive registration dossiers for purchase and lease-purchase of social housing in accordance with the subjects, criteria, and other relevant current legal regulations to establish a list of subjects eligible to purchase social housing in projects invested by them according to regulations.

In the process of implementing the decision, if any problems or difficulties arise, relevant localities, organizations, units and individuals shall promptly report to the Department of Construction for research and proposal to the City People's Committee for consideration and resolution.
