General Director of Viglacera Nguyen Anh Tuan said: The Topping Out Ceremony of the Social Housing Phase 3 in Dang Xa marks the completion of the investment and construction of social housing here. In phase 3, Viglacera has launched nearly 900 social houses and in a very short period of time, from the end of May to the end of July 2014, the investor has received more than 1,200 house registration applications. This shows that the number of social houses launched into the market did not meet the increasing needs of low-income people. Therefore, in the upcoming time, Viglacera will implement new social housing projects with a scale of 100 – 200 hectares, in accordance with the “Program of coordinating to implement the housing development strategy until 2020, vision to 2030 ”, between the Ministry of Construction and the Hanoi People’s Committee.

At the ceremony, Minister Trinh Dinh Dung said: Dang Xa is a typical urban area in the future, especially in big cities which can reduce the population pressure on the inner city and meet the demands of people working in Hanoi. Social housing with good quality, beautiful design and reasonable price of less than 9 million dong / meter are suitable for many people in the current economic conditions. Despite their average and low income, people in Dang Xa can still live in houses with civilized landscapes and full amenities. This is the result of concretizing the national housing strategy and materialize policies .

According to Minister Trinh Dinh Dung, there are still high demands for social housing. By 2015, the country will need about 1 million apartments. At present, housing policies are still being improved, Notably, the Draft Housing Law amended to submit to the National Assembly has reserved a chapter for social housing.
