Thai Nguyen Province is accelerating the development of social housing projects to meet the growing housing demand of residents, particularly workers, laborers, and low-income households. To date, the province has approved investment policies for 15 social housing projects, many of which are currently under active construction, while several have already been completed and handed over to residents. In 2026 alone, Thai Nguyen aims to approve an additional 10–12 projects and complete between 5,000 and 6,000 housing units.

The projects are being developed with synchronized technical and social infrastructure, featuring increasingly larger scales, modern designs, and a wide range of amenities including parking facilities, kindergartens, community spaces, landscaped greenery, and public utilities, all aimed at improving residents’ quality of life. To ensure project timelines are maintained, local authorities have actively addressed challenges related to investment procedures, land clearance, fire safety regulations, and administrative processes, while also conducting regular inspections and progress reviews. Many projects have completed legal procedures and commenced construction within a relatively short timeframe. At the same time, the province continues to organize dialogue and engagement programs with businesses to promptly resolve issues related to policy mechanisms, financing, and implementation procedures.

Despite fluctuations in construction material prices in recent months, contractors involved in social housing developments across Thai Nguyen have proactively adapted and mobilized resources to maintain construction schedules as committed.

Mr. Do Van Nhan, Chief Site Engineer of Vietnam Construction Investment Consultancy and Technology JSC — the contractor for the TNG Viet Bac Social Housing Project — stated:

“Unfavorable weather conditions, particularly heavy rain and storms, have significantly affected construction activities, with some periods requiring temporary suspension due to unsafe working conditions. However, to recover lost time, we maximize manpower and equipment deployment during favorable weather, organize overtime and additional shifts, and remain committed to maintaining both project progress and construction quality despite unpredictable conditions.”

According to the Thai Nguyen Department of Construction, the implementation progress of social housing projects across the province has currently reached approximately 70% of the planned target. From now until the end of Q3 2026, the province will continue completing procedures to commence all projects included in the 2026 development plan. In addition to the 15 projects already approved, Thai Nguyen is also planning around 30 additional locations for future social housing developments, including several large-scale areas, to support the Government’s target of delivering more than 60,000 social housing units by 2030.
