Comrade Nguyen Huu Sang - Member of the Provincial Party Executive Committee, Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of the District People's Council, Head of Steering Committee 2147 of Anh Son district gave an interview to Nghe An Newspaper.
PerformDirective No. 21 dated February 10, 2023 of the Standing Committee of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee on "Strengthening the Party's leadership in mobilizing and supporting the construction and repair of houses for the poor and people with difficult housing circumstances", up to now, building houses for the poor has become a strongly developing movement in Anh Son district.
PV: Anh Son is one of the localities that has well implemented Directive No. 21 dated February 10, 2023 of the Standing Committee of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee on "Strengthening the Party's leadership in mobilizing and supporting the construction and repair of houses for the poor and people with housing difficulties". Can you tell us about the outstanding results in 2024?
Comrade Nguyen Huu Sang:Anh Son District identified the key task in implementing Directive 21 as propagating and mobilizing all cadres, civil servants, philanthropists, companies, businesses, etc. to join hands in supporting the construction of houses for poor households and households with housing difficulties; this is one of the particularly important political tasks with humanistic significance in the district. After the Directive was issued, the district reviewed and found 257 houses that needed attention and support for renovation or repair.
After more than 1 year of implementation, the whole district has built and repaired 131/257 houses. In 2024, from the beginning of the year, the Standing Committee of the District Party Committee determined to focus on directing, continuing to implement and completing the task of building houses for poor households and households with housing difficulties in the period of 2023 - 2025 (completed 1 year ahead). Therefore, the entire political system from the district to the grassroots level has placed high determination in leadership, direction, and actively mobilized resources to support the construction of houses for poor households and households with housing difficulties, achieving the following outstanding results:
As of November 30, 2024, sufficient resources have been allocated to build 126 houses, the remaining for poor households and households with special housing difficulties in the 2023 - 2025 period have been approved, completed 1 year ahead of the Plan.
Create a widespread spread, sharing in the spirit of "the whole leaves cover the torn leaves", "the less torn leaves cover the more torn leaves" in residential communities, people of all walks of life, organizations and individuals inside and outside the district to support the construction of houses for the poor and people with housing difficulties in the district.
The Party Committee, the government, and the entire political and social system from the district to the grassroots level have determined that the implementation of Directive 21 will continue as long as there are still households in the area facing housing difficulties. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly review the housing of families in the area, especially poor households, near-poor households, and households of meritorious people, etc., to update and supplement the list of households in need of support to repair and renovate their houses, thereby having a plan to mobilize resources for support.
With the results of last year, up to now, Anh Son district has completed supporting house building for poor households and households with special housing difficulties, with the number of 257/257 houses, with the amount of over 12 billion VND.
PV: Thus, in 2024, Anh Son district has completed the mobilization and support for building and repairing houses for the poor and people with housing difficulties in the period of 2023 - 2025. Could you share more about the good practices and experiences of the district?
Comrade Nguyen Huu Sang:Anh Son district completed Directive 21 1 year ahead of schedule thanks to the attention, sharing, and support of philanthropists, businesses, and people of the district from all over the country...; at the same time, thanks to the strong leadership and direction of the district Party Committee and government, the participation of the entire political system, and the efforts of families and communities... The Steering Committee (SC) for housing construction for poor households and households with housing difficulties at the district level has had the following methods:
Strengthening propaganda and mobilization of support funding sources; diversifying in exploiting and receiving support funding sources such as: being able to directly sponsor households, or through the Steering Committees at district and commune levels (the Fatherland Front Committees at all levels are the Standing Committees) or such as the Farmers' Association with the "Pink Brick" support program; Veterans' Association; Youth Union supporting working days for digging foundations...
The Steering Committees of communes and towns are assigned to mobilize local resources; relatives, organizations, unions, etc. to support additional materials and working days to help the family.
Connecting Anh Son fellow countrymen associations in provinces and cities in the country and abroad to share and support.
Assign the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee to manage, promptly allocate and implement house construction for households on the approved list when there is a source of funding support; coordinate with agencies, departments and branches to widely propagate on information channels and social networks the results of program implementation of communes, towns and households. Focus on propagating and mobilizing households that are still in great difficulty to have determination and effort to overcome difficulties, gradually stabilize their lives, and escape poverty sustainably...
Strengthen inspection work in communes and towns on regular implementation to promptly remove difficulties and obstacles for households during the implementation process.
On the other hand, the District Steering Committee also has a policy of supporting 50 million VND for families who cannot build (new houses). The Steering Committee should consider raising the specific support level to ensure that they can build houses.
PV: Thank you, comrade!
