Proposed housing model for Dan Lai people
Faced with difficulties in transportation, which increased the price of material transportation services, and the inability of Dan Lai people to build houses, Con Cuong district and the Party Committee and government of Mon Son commune proposed two housing design options suitable for the allocated budget to build houses for the people on schedule before July 31, 2025.
According to the current housing program for poor households and households with housing difficulties, each household that builds a new house is supported with 60 million VND, and each repaired house is supported with 30 million VND. Khe Bung and Co Phat villages of Mon Son commune (Con Cuong) have a total of 243 households, of which 235 are poor, accounting for 96.7%. Both villages have 78 households in need of support for building and repairing. Most of them are households building new houses.
Mr. La Van Linh - Head of the Co Phat Village Front Committee said that most of the households eligible for support to build new houses and repair houses this time from Co Phat are in difficult circumstances and do not have money to contribute to the amount of money supported by the State to build houses.
"With a budget of 60 million VND/house, along with difficulties in roads, transportation costs and most of the people in Dan Lai do not have the corresponding money, the People's Committee of the district and commune must study a plan to reduce costs while still ensuring the requirements on housing quality for the people," added Mr. Le Thanh Hai - Secretary of the Party Committee of Mon Son commune.

Currently, there are two housing design options for people being proposed by the People's Committee of Con Cuong district and the commune and village authorities in Mon Son to be implemented in the near future, after people are granted land use right certificates.
According to the Party Secretary of Mon Son commune, two "model houses" have been completed in Khe Bung village. The government plans to choose one of the two models to build after consulting with households receiving support for house building this time.
These are two houses previously built by comrade Nguyen Dinh Hung, former Secretary of Con Cuong District Party Committee, now Chief of the Provincial Party Committee Office, and district leaders, calling on philanthropists to sponsor 100 million VND to build for two Dan Lai ethnic households in Khe Bung village.

The house models all meet safety standards and are suitable for the customs and living habits of the Dan Lai people in Khe Bung and Co Phat villages. Moreover, according to the assessment of the commune and village officials as well as the people when surveying to build houses for the people, with the design of a house on stilts with concrete pillars, a house frame made of iron and steel, and walls and floors made of bamboo, it will be enough for the amount of 60 million VND/house.
The first house model is expected to have concrete pillars poured up to the floor level, floor frame and wall frame, steel roof, covered with heat-resistant corrugated iron; surrounding walls covered with heat-insulating plastic panels. The bridge is made of steel. As for the floor, only the steel frame will be welded, the family will use bamboo to weave.
The second house model is designed with concrete columns up to the roof. The steel frame is used for the heat-resistant corrugated iron roof and as a floor support bar. The walls and floor panels are made of bamboo that the locals themselves harvest and weave according to the construction dimensions.
Ms. Let May Khun in Khe Bung village is one of two households that received new houses called by district officials. Ms. Khun is Laotian and married a man in Khe Bung village. Ms. Let May Khun's house model is the first house model expected to be applied in the housing construction program for Dan Lai people this time. Having just moved into her new house, Ms. Khun happily said: the house is very beautiful and sturdy, her family is very satisfied, thank the officials and the government very much.
The second house model is the one that Mr. La Van Phuong's family has just received and has moved in to live in. Mr. Phuong and his wife were happy after cutting bamboo to make walls and floors. Mr. Phuong said that this is the family's dream house. Now all 6 people no longer worry when there are storms.

Mr. Le Thanh Hai - Secretary of the Party Committee of Mon Son commune added that right after the people were granted red books, in addition to the expected suitable house models, to ensure quality as well as to complete on schedule before July 31, 2025, the District People's Committee also directed the commune to come up with a plan to mobilize all forces to support the transportation of materials and mobilize working days to help 78 households complete their new houses on time. During the process of building houses for people, some details may be edited to be more suitable.
