Multiple social housing projects accept applications for home purchases

In the final months of 2026, the supply of social housing in Dong Nai continues to grow as numerous projects have announced that they are accepting applications from prospective homebuyers.

With selling prices ranging from roughly VND19 million to VND24 million per square meter and a variety of apartment sizes, these projects offer greater homeownership opportunities for low-income earners, factory workers, and laborers in need of housing.

Accepting applications

In November 2026, Water Electrical Mechanical Installation and Construction Joint Stock Company began accepting applications for purchasing nearly 800 apartments at its 2.1-hectare Social Housing Apartment Complex Project in Phuoc An Commune. Located near Nhon Trach 2, 3, 5, and 6 industrial parks, the project offers a convenient housing option for factory workers and employees in the area.

Ngo Viet Ha, Director of the company’s Southern Regional Project Management Board, said the project comprises more than 1,500 apartments ranging from about 29 to 70 square meters. The average selling price exceeds VND21 million per square meter of usable floor area, including value-added tax but excluding maintenance fees and management and operation costs. The project is expected to be completed and put into use in the first quarter of 2028.

In Nhon Trach Ward, the HAP-1 Social Housing Apartment Complex, part of the Planned Residential Area Project developed by Phu Hoi City Co., Ltd., is preparing to accept applications for purchasing social housing units. The application period is scheduled to run from November 30 to December 30, 2026.

The complex offers more than 1,100 social housing units for sale. According to the developer, nearly 1,000 applications have been submitted to date, while just over 100 units remain available. The apartments range from roughly 33 to 68 square meters, with an average selling price exceeding VND24 million per square meter, including value-added tax but excluding maintenance reserves and apartment management and operation fees.

In Long Hung Ward, the Long Binh Tan Social Housing Project, comprising nearly 1,100 units, continues to accept applications. The developer reported that, by the end of October 2026, it had signed contracts to sell approximately 700 units, while buyer eligibility reviews were underway for about 200 units. Applications for the remaining 200 units will continue to be accepted until the required number is reached.

Another development in Phuoc Tan Ward is the NXH2 Social Housing Apartment Building within the Phuoc Tan Ward Residential and Resettlement Area, developed by An Hung Phat Infrastructure Joint Stock Company. The company is currently accepting applications for more than 500 units. The apartments range from roughly 30 to 58 square meters, with a selling price exceeding VND19.9 million per square meter, including 5% value-added tax but excluding the statutory 2% maintenance fee.

Social housing projects in wards such as Trang Bom, Bao Vinh, and Ho Nai are also accepting applications from prospective homebuyers. This wave of announcements toward the end of the year gives residents more choices in terms of location, floor area, and prices suited to their financial circumstances.

Expanding supply

The growing number of social housing projects accepting applications in late 2026 has helped increase supply, gradually meeting workers’ growing housing needs. This is also one of the important political tasks aimed at achieving the city's housing development targets.

Under Government Resolution No. 303/NQ-CP, dated September 30, 2026, Dong Nai was assigned to develop more than 60,000 social and worker housing units during the 2026–2030 period. As of early November 2026, 22 projects comprising more than 15,800 apartments had been under construction across the city. Once completed and put into use, these projects will contribute to achieving social housing development targets and addressing the housing needs of local residents and workers employed in industrial parks.

For the 2026–2030 period, Dong Nai has been tasked with delivering more than 60,000 social and worker housing units. The city’s specific targets are 2,000 units in 2026; 3,000 in 2027; 5,000 in 2028; 10,000 in 2029; and more than 40,000 in 2030.

Nguyen Thi Hai, a worker from Bien Hoa 2 Industrial Park in Tran Bien Ward, said, "My husband and I are both factory workers, and our income depends mainly on our wages, so buying an affordable home has long been our dream. Learning that a social housing project was accepting applications made me very happy, and I hope our application will be reviewed and approved soon." She added that a stable home would give her family peace of mind, free them from worries about rent, and provide their children with a better living and learning environment. She therefore hopes the city will continue to develop more social housing projects offering affordable selling prices, thus enabling workers to settle down and maintain long-term ties with their employers and the locality.

At the Long Binh Tan Social Housing Project, To Thi Thuy, General Director of Chuong Duong Homeland Joint Stock Company, said two of the three apartment blocks had already been topped out. Construction of the remaining block is being accelerated. Meanwhile, the developer is carrying out interior finishing work across all three blocks, aiming to hand over apartments to buyers in early 2027. Accelerating construction and interior finishing work helps shorten buyers’ waiting times. The developer will continue to devote its workforce and resources to the project while monitoring the quality of construction work, infrastructure and amenities before handover.

The Department of Construction has recently conducted regular inspections, urging and reminding developers to keep their projects on schedule. For projects encountering difficulties or obstacles, the department coordinates with relevant parties to address them promptly, minimizing delays that could affect project completion and the city’s social housing development goals.

The growing supply of social houses is clearly an encouraging sign for residents seeking a place to settle down. Beyond accepting applications, however, developers must keep construction on schedule, ensure quality, and maintain transparency in selling prices and eligibility requirements to protect buyers’ rights and interests.
