The province is implementing 13 more social housing projects on 59.3ha for nearly 8,200 housing units, including three projects for workers with about 2,900 units.
This number is still too small compared to the housing needs of 410,000 workers in the province.
To deal with the serious shortage of social housing for workers, the province has issued a Resolution on housing development in the 2021-30 period, targeting 6,000 social housing units.
In recent meetings with the province’s authorities, Minister of Construction Nguyen Thanh Nghị said that Dong Nai needs to pay more attention to the quality of investment rather than the quantity, and review vacant land plots in industrial zones to build affordable accommodations for workers.
Together with the business community, the province should call on State-owned enterprises to take the lead in social housing development, he said.
In the coming time, the Government will provide a financial support package from the State budget to help home developers and homebuyers access preferential loans for social housing development, he added.
