Social housing for workers

The southern province of Dong Nai has solicited investment to build houses for low-income earners.

Speaking at the social housing investment promotion and development conference, Vo Tan Duc, deputy chairman of the province People’s Committee, said despite his administration’s focus on social housing for low-income earners, supply has yet to meet demand.

The province has 31 industrial parks with 410,000 workers who require accommodation, he said.

According to the Dong Nai Confederation of Labour, the province has over 1.2 million employees, mainly migrants from other parts of the country. Therefore, the demand for accommodation among them remains huge.
