Hanoi supports great service rendering families
Hanoi has launched a programme to improve the housing conditions for families of those who ever rendered great services to the country’s reunification.
Under the programme, which will run until 2016, the city will help 4,423 such households build new homes with financial support worth VND40 million (US$1,880) for each. Meanwhile, 5,493 households will be given VND20 million (US$940) to upgrade their houses.
In the first half of this year, the city plans to spend VND8.88 billion (US$417,360) supporting 222 families to build new houses and VND6.58 billion (US$309,260) to assist 329 others to repair their houses.
As much as 80% of the total cost for the programme is funded by the State budget, with the remaining sourced from the city budget and community donations.
