The Nordic Development Fund is providing nearly 900,000 EUR to build some 160 houses for impoverished women across the city.
Da Nang is regularly affected by climate change, especially increasingly frequent and intense storms.
The housing scheme provides loans of US$440-1,322 for vulnerable families to build or repair their houses.
The US Rockefeller Foundation has also supported Da Nang to build storm-resistant houses since 2011.
