Hanoi to improve efficiency of state-owned housing assets

3:51 PM, Mon March 16, 2026

Standing Vice Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Duong Duc Tuan has signed and issued Plan No. 107/KH-UBND dated March 16, 2026, on improving the efficiency of management, use, and exploitation of state-owned housing assets in Hanoi.

The plan aims to manage, reorganize, and exploit state-owned housing assets in full compliance with laws on public assets, ensuring centralized and unified management.

It also seeks to strengthen the sense of responsibility among organizations and individuals in managing and using the city's state-owned housing assets. Responsibilities are clearly assigned among departments, agencies, organizations, and housing management and business units, including Hanoi Housing Management and Development One Member Limited Liability Company and the City Housing Management Center, in managing, using, and exploiting these assets.

At the same time, the city will put into operation, lease, or repurpose 100 percent of vacant and unused state-owned housing assets, ensuring compliance with regulations, transparency, and the avoidance of waste.

Specific solution groups for each category of public assets

Units assigned to manage housing assets are required to proactively and promptly prepare revenue and expenditure estimates for leasing, lease-purchase, and sale of state-owned housing.

Efforts will be intensified to promote, communicate, and provide information, including public disclosure of the list of vacant state-owned housing, and procedures for registration to lease or purchase housing on unit websites and mass media channels, making it easier for organizations and individuals to access and review.

A comprehensive review will be conducted of policy mechanisms related to resettlement apartment funds, including investment criteria and standards, approval procedures for resettlement allocation, processes for purchase, handover, and payment, as well as flexible mechanisms for recovery, reallocation, and distribution of resettlement housing across projects, especially for units that residents refuse to accept, and the development of multi-purpose resettlement areas.

Based on current regulations, authorities will proactively implement or propose mechanisms and measures to increase occupancy rates of housing assets. These include allowing workers in enterprises operating in industrial parks to rent accommodation and arranging temporary housing to serve site clearance projects in the city, where needed.

Following a comprehensive review of the housing asset portfolio, management and usage status, and related policy mechanisms, criteria for eligible tenants and buyers will be defined, along with procedures in accordance with housing laws. This will serve as a basis to accelerate the signing of lease contracts, classify cases with obstacles for group-based resolution, and propose sanctions for cases of delay, refusal to sign contracts, or failure to pay rent.

The city will accelerate the implementation of the old apartment renovation program to upgrade urban areas, including the potential use of this housing fund to pilot comprehensive solutions.

Authorities will study the conversion of these assets into social housing or resettlement housing if they meet required standards. In cases where there is no longer demand and conversion conditions are not met, public auctions will be conducted to recover funds for the state budget.

A study will be conducted to assess the condition of buildings and prepare proposals for the renovation and repair project of Student Housing Block A1 in the Phap Van - Tu Hiep area. In parallel with the relocation of universities out of the city, authorities will consider converting this housing into resettlement or social housing.

The city will also intensify efforts to require investors to fully hand over commercial service areas in commercial apartment buildings that must be transferred to the city for management, assigning them to municipal housing management and business units.

For remaining housing and land facilities, including specialized housing proposed by Hanoi Housing Management and Development One Member Limited Liability Company for use as offices of its affiliated enterprises, vacant housing stock, housing currently under stable lease, and the City Intellectual Palace, appropriate management and utilization measures will be implemented.
