According to a leader of the provincial branch of the VBSP, the interest rate of loans under the Social Housing Lending Programme is 4.8 percent a year as regulated in the Government’s Decree No. 100/2015/ND-CP. The beneficiaries include revolution contributors, low-income people, poor households, and near-poor households in urban areas, workers of enterprises inside and outside industrial parks, military officers, non-commissioned officers, workers in agencies and units of the public security forces and the People's Army, and civil servants as prescribed by law.
