The Department of Construction also proposed that the Provincial People's Committee direct the district-level People's Committee to focus on reviewing all approved planning projects to review the arrangement of social housing according to regulations and social housing needs of each locality. With new planning projects on urban planning, land use plans, and development planning of industrial zones and clusters, land funds must be allocated for social housing construction, in particular, determining specifically the location, scale, and land area of ​​each housing construction project with synchronous technical and social infrastructure systems to develop social housing according to the regulations.

Localities must urgently complete legal procedures to submit investment policies for social housing projects according to the proposed schedule to organize bidding to select investors in accordance with regulations; support investors to overcome difficulties, especially site clearance.

In addition, the Department of Construction also proposed that the Provincial People's Committee direct provincial departments and branches to well implement tasks and solutions according to decentralization authority and guidance; support for investors to overcome difficulties and obstacles during the implementation process; support to speed up investment procedures related to social housing projects in the province./.
