So far, Van Ho district has completed construction on 162 homes, reaching 100% of the planned target. Of these, 147 houses were newly built, and 15 were repaired. The total funding required for the programme in the district is 9.27 billion VND (359,895 USD), of which 9.09 billion VND has already been received, with 3.02 billion VND disbursed. Over 5,200 volunteer workdays have been mobilised to support construction, equivalent to a value of more than 1 billion VND. The support has been delivered to the right beneficiaries, ensuring both progress and quality.

Following a recent review, 224 additional households have been identified for support. The district aims to complete the elimination of substandard housing before May 19, 2025.

After the inspection, Xuan requested Van Ho district to continue reviewing the list of beneficiaries to avoid any errors, strengthen inspection and supervision, and further mobilise social resources for the work, thereby helping disadvantaged households stabilise their lives.
