Many arrived prepared with water, food, folding chairs, and blankets, ready for a long night ahead.
By 11 PM, the crowd continued to grow. People began passing around sheets of paper to self-record their personal details in order of arrival.

At midnight on November 17th, representatives from the front of the line began calling out names from the self-organized list created the previous evening.
Many in the crowd shared their determination to secure a home, willing to endure the sleepless night for a chance to own a place in the capital. Submitting their applications was the first step toward realizing their dream of a stable residence in Hanoi.

Notably, an automated queuing system was implemented, allowing applicants to obtain a numbered ticket, register, and receive an appointment slip for document submission.
In an interview, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Trung, Director of the CT3 Kim Chung Social Housing Project Management Board, stated that the application period would run from November 17, 2025, to January 3, 2026. Depending on the volume of applicants, the developer may extend the submission deadline if necessary.
