The policy of housing and land support for people with revolutionary contributions is stipulated by the Government in Decree No. 131, dated December 30, 2021, detailing and implementing measures for the Ordinance on preferential treatment for people with revolutionary contributions.
According to the report of the Provincial People's Committee, through a review of the whole province, there are 14,828 people with meritorious services to the revolution, relatives of martyrs who need support to build new or renovate houses; of which 8,138 households have new houses and 6,690 have renovated houses.
Implementing Decree No. 131 of the Government, over the past 2 years, the Department of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs of Nghe An and localities have drawn from the Gratitude Fund and mobilized social resources to support the construction and repair of 479 families of people with meritorious services to the revolution who are still facing housing difficulties, with a total of more than 20.3 billion VND.
Regarding the implementation of preferential policies for meritorious people and martyrs' relatives regarding residential land, a total of 805 households were implemented; of which 98 households were exempted from land use fees and 616 households were given land use fee reductions, and 91 households were allocated land for housing.
Based on monitoring the implementation of policies from the practice of a locality and studying reports of the Provincial People's Committee, provincial departments and branches as well as Decree No. 131 of the Government; members of the monitoring team of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation pointed out a number of limitations in the process of implementing the policy.
It is noteworthy that although the policy is important in solving housing and land difficulties for families of meritorious people, especially martyrs' relatives, to have more spacious places to worship martyrs, the policy is being implemented slowly.
On the other hand, through review and statistics, the demand for new construction, renovation and repair of housing under this policy in the province is very large, but the results of implementing the Gratitude Fund and socialization are still low.
The determination of the land allocation limit for implementing land use fee exemption and reduction for meritorious people as prescribed in Clause 2, Article 12 of Decree No. 45/2014/ND-CP dated May 15, 2014 of the Government and Circular 76/2014 still faces difficulties in understanding and applying the provisions of legal documents.
Besides, the procedures for exemption and reduction of land use fees for people with revolutionary contributions have not been implemented uniformly in localities...
