(ĐN)- More than 171,000 laborers in Dong Nai have received housing rent support under the Prime Minister’s Decision No.08/QD-TTg with a total amount of over VND211 billion, according to Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs.

According to plan, some 260,000 laborers working for businesses in Dong Nai would benefit from the housing rent support policy.

Decision No.08/QD-TTg dated March 28, 2022 aims to assist workers who face housing difficulties and to help enterprises maintain production and attract back employees who left the country's largest economic hub for their hometowns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Under the decision, laborers working in enterprises will receive 500,000 VND (US$22) per person each month and those returning to the labor market 1,000,000 VND.

Enterprises have been guided to make dossiers requesting support for their laborers in order to avoid backlog of dossiers.
