Ha Tinh Cuts Social Housing Project Procedures Time by 50%

With the objective of developing a transparent and stable real estate market, Ha Tinh is accelerating reforms to procedures and land allocation, while speeding up the rollout of social housing projects targeted for completion by 2026.

Provincial directive to remove obstacles and boost supply

On 8 April 2026, the Ha Tinh Provincial People’s Committee issued Document No. 2819/UBND-XD on promoting housing development and the real estate market in the province. The directive calls on ministries, sectors, and localities to apply a comprehensive set of measures to remove obstacles and increase supply, with a particular focus on the social housing segment.

“Green lane” and “priority lane” for faster social housing procedures

A key measure in the document is the classification of social housing projects into “green lane” and “priority lane” groups. For these projects, procedures related to investment, land, planning, construction, and the environment will be carried out in parallel.

The province states that this approach is expected to shorten both time and costs by at least 50% compared with current regulations.

Land allocation requirements and dedicated oversight

Alongside procedural reform, Ha Tinh requires adequate staffing and the assignment of dedicated officers to monitor social housing development to prevent bottlenecks caused by personnel shortages.

Local authorities are also required to strictly implement land reserves for worker housing in industrial zones and to allocate at least 20% of land for social housing within commercial housing projects and urban area developments.

Strengthened state management and supervision of real estate activities

To support stable and safe real estate market development, Ha Tinh’s government calls for intensified inspection, auditing, and comprehensive supervision of real estate business activities. The focus includes trading floors, brokers, credit provision, and corporate bond issuance.

Assigned responsibilities for state agencies

The directive assigns specific tasks to relevant agencies:

• Department of Finance: propose incorporating social housing development targets into the annual socio-economic development plan and allocate budgets for compensation, site clearance, and the creation of clean land funds.
• Department of Construction: review and adjust the housing development program for 2026–2030; disclose project information and market data transparently; and guide and urge developers to advance projects on schedule.
• Department of Agriculture and Environment: strengthen monitoring of compliance with land and environmental laws by investors and promptly resolve issues during project implementation.

Project acceleration schedule for 2026

In practical deployment, Ha Tinh’s People’s Committee directs the acceleration of several social housing and urban area projects:

Completion targets

• Social housing projects in Thanh Sen Ward and Tran Phu Ward are to be completed using advanced construction technology, aiming for completion in Q4 2026.
• The Nam Cau Phu urban-district, commercial-service, and eco-lifestyle villas projects must complete investment procedures, compensation, site clearance, and land handover to investors by Q2 2026.
• 538 social housing units are required to be constructed, with completion targeted for Q4 2026.

Coordinated implementation in multiple locations

Urban areas in Tran Phu Ward, Thach Ha commune, Song Tri Ward, and the Ngô Quyền street area are to implement synchronized procedures, prioritize social housing development, and ensure completion within 2026.
