According to the Provincial Military Command, the province currently has 10 land plots covering 43.14 hectares that the Ministry of National Defense has proposed for inclusion, with the approval of the Provincial People’s Committee, in the land reserve designated for developing housing for the armed forces. This serves as an important basis for gradually addressing housing needs for long-term stationed officers.

At the conference, delegates from agencies, units, and localities discussed and analyzed difficulties and obstacles related to investment procedures, site clearance, and architectural planning, thereby proposing solutions to ensure the projects proceed on schedule and in compliance with legal regulations.

Speaking at the event, Major General Tran Chi Tam emphasized that building housing for military officers’ families is an important policy with practical significance and profound humanitarian value. It creates favorable conditions and improves living standards for officers and soldiers of the armed forces, enabling them to carry out their duties with greater peace of mind.

Major General Tran Chi Tam requested the Dong Nai Provincial Military Command to proactively accelerate the development of the housing scheme for officers and soldiers of the armed forces. Agencies and units must continue to stay aligned with their assigned functions and tasks; proactively coordinate with Dong Nai departments and sectors to promptly propose solutions to challenges and obstacles; and strive to accelerate progress so that the projects are implemented effectively, synchronously, and put into use on schedule.
