So far this year, the city has spent VND79 billion (US$3.39 million) on building and repairing 2,471 houses, 152 more than the set plan.
During the reviewed period, the department has spent VND59 billion (US$2.53 million) for taking care of and giving 93,000 health insurance cards to those who made contributions to the revolution.
At present, the city has over 21,000 beneficiaries receiving the regular allowance, with the total annual budget of over VND340 billion (US$14.6 million).
As scheduled, the work will be continued in 2019 even in the absence of support from the central budget, towards ensuring stable provision of houses for the local revolutionary contributors.
At the ceremony, Secretary of the municipal Party Committee Truong Quang Nghia posthumously transferred the title of Vietnamese Heroic Mother from President Tran Dai Quang to relatives of five mothers.
Certificates of merit of Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee were also presented to 19 organisations and 26 individuals in recognition of their contributions to implementing the housing support programme.
