Vietnam’s Target: 1 million Social Housing Units by 2030
During the groundbreaking ceremony for the project, held last January 2024, the Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Tan Tuan stressed the rise in social housing demand to 46,006 units by 2030. Chairman Nguyen Tan Tuan continued that due to the surge of service-oriented businesses, and industrial zones in the province of Khanh Hoa, requirements for available social housing are equally on the rise.
Last year, the Prime Minister of Vietnam Phạm Minh ChÃnh signed Decision 338/QD-TTg. This is an ambitious investment project that aims to build 1 million social housing apartments for low-income earners and workers at industrial parks by 2030.
According to a report from the Department of Construction (MOC), the province of Khanh Hoa will have a total of 7,800 social housing apartments by 2030. The delivery will come in two phases: the first phase is to complete 3,400 units by 2025, and the second phase is an additional 4,400 units by 2030.
Deputy Director of the Department of Construction, Nguyen Ngoc Minh, stated that the province of Khanh Hoa is planning to construct more than 4,800 social housing units by 2025. This number greatly surpasses the initial housing goals by 1,400 units.
Khanh Hoa Province: a Tourist Destination
The province of Khanh Hoa is a coastal province in the South Coast region. It has a population of 1.1 million people and spans an area of 5,200 km2. The province attracts plenty of tourists with its pristine beaches, beautiful islands, and historical sites.
The rise of tourism in the region caused a rapid surge in service-oriented businesses. This surge has since increased the demand for low-income social housing for working individuals in the province.
