Ho Chi Minh City social‑housing program

Overview

The city’s Construction Department continues to refine its social‑housing rollout. After the early‑July incentive package, the Eco Home 1 project was detailed, with unit prices near VND 19.8 million / m² and preferential loans up to 5.4 % interest for 80 % financing over 25 years. Audits by the Institute of Economics limit the developer’s cash receipt to 95 % of contract value before land‑use rights are issued.

On 27 July, a draft amendment to Decision No. 14/2026 proposed raising the monthly income ceiling for eligibility from VND 54 million to VND 60 million, introducing two adjustment coefficients (1.1 and 1.2) that set higher limits for singles, single parents and married couples, and give priority to larger households. The city justified the change with a 2025 per‑capita income of VND 8.064 million, about 1.36 times the national average.

A related development on 29 July reported that the provincial government of Khánh Hòa is launching 14 social‑housing projects priced around VND 22 million / m², offering loans covering up to 80 % of the purchase price at 5.4 % interest. The announcement underscores a nationwide push to expand affordable housing and align eligibility thresholds with local income conditions.

Together, these steps show Ho Chi Minh City moving from policy design to concrete pricing, financing and eligibility adjustments, while other Vietnamese regions advance parallel social‑housing initiatives.
