The ministry reported that the country is currently developing 692 social housing projects with more than 633,500 units nationwide as part of its plan to build over one million units,.

Several provinces have already surpassed their annual goals, including Haiphong (101%), Hue (120%), Tuyen Quang (100%), Quang Ninh (104%) and Nghe An (173%). Others expected to achieve more than 50% of their targets include Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Danang, Ninh Binh, Khanh Hoa, Dong Nai and Ca Mau.
