Comrade Le Van Hieu, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation chaired the questioning session at the 28th Session of the Provincial People's Council.

On the afternoon of December 10, while presiding over the question and answer session at the 28th session of the Provincial People's Council, Mr. Le Van Hieu, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Council, said that the average income of workers in industrial parks is about 8 million VND/month. If social housing has a price of 15-18 million VND/m2then a family of 2 working parents will have a hard time buying.

Currently, the number of Hai Duong workers working abroad and in other provinces is about 130,000 people. Meanwhile, the number of workers from other provinces returning to Hai Duong to work is about 32,000 people, of which 45% are ethnic minorities.

Therefore, to contribute to attracting and retaining workers from Hai Duong and skilled workers from other places to work in Hai Duong, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Council suggested that the Department of Construction coordinate with departments, branches and localities to research and propose mechanisms and policies to support workers to buy houses at reasonable prices.

Delegate Nguyen Vinh Son questioned the Director of the Department of Construction about the issue of social housing construction in the province.

Previously, delegate Nguyen Vinh Son, Chief of Office of the National Assembly Delegation and Provincial People's Council, questioned the Director of the Department of Construction about solutions to achieve the goal of building 15,920 social housing units in Hai Duong by 2030. The delegate asked the department's leaders to let him know how much social housing units are currently selling for per square meter.2And what solutions are needed to reduce social housing prices?

Responding to questions, Director of the Department of Construction Nguyen Hoai Long said that the land fund for developing social housing and workers' housing in industrial parks is currently in excess of the provincial housing development program.

However, the total number of apartments expected to be put into use in 2025 is 1,345, only reaching about 23% of the target for the 2023-2025 period.

Currently, the progress of implementing and constructing social housing projects in the province is also slow compared to the requirements. The main reason is that it takes a lot of time to select a consulting unit to adjust the planning; report to the Party Committee, and ask for opinions from departments and branches before reporting to the Provincial People's Committee.

Director of the Department of Construction Nguyen Hoai Long proposed some solutions to reduce social housing prices.

Director of Department of Construction said social housing price is from 15-18 million/m22and propose 3 solutions to reduce social housing prices, including: technical solutions; investor selection; incentives for investors building social housing.
