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%).
