The People’s Committees of the districts are tasked with directing the communal-level People’s Committees to certify citizens’ eligibility regarding income, ensuring adherence to deadlines and regulations. They will also direct the district-level branches of the Social Policy Bank to coordinate with relevant units in organizing evaluations for lending and timely disbursement to eligible beneficiaries.
The Can Tho City Labor Federation and the Management Board of Export Processing Zones and Industrial Parks will disseminate information to enterprises, factory workers, and employees in the industrial parks about accessing details on social housing projects in the city and understanding the current legal provisions regarding eligibility, conditions, and procedures for purchasing, renting, or rent-to-own social housing.
The Can Tho City People’s Committee has requested the State Bank of Vietnam, Can Tho Branch, to continue directing commercial banks involved in the VND 120,000 billion credit package for social housing and worker housing loans.
Additionally, the Can Tho City People’s Committee has asked social housing project investors in the city to review their sales, rent-to-own, and rental contracts. For contracts signed after August 1, 2024, the provisions of Appendix to Circular 5/2024 of the Ministry of Construction must be followed.
The document clearly states, “It is required that social housing project owners in the city only operate when they meet the prescribed conditions, have measures to prevent speculation, price manipulation, or surcharge fees; and do not force people to sign consulting or interior contracts. When buying, renting, or rent-to-own social housing directly from the investor or through a real estate exchange, citizens must have access to full information and be able to purchase, rent, or rent-to-own social housing at the announced price without paying any additional fees.”
