They have classified, reviewed and evaluated the poor households. The have directly gone to grassroots level to verify, avoiding the wrong support and missing the disadvantaged members. 

In the case of being supported, each household would receive 25 million VND, the missing money would be contributed by the family or mobilized from the relatives. They actively propagated the Association's facilities having the supported veteran members to build houses with the help of working days and the house foundation. They selected the practical gifts for the families when handing over and inaugurating a new house”.

In addition to mobilizing the fund of "The Gratitude of Teammate” from the officials and veteran members, in 2019, the district’s Veterans’ Association cooperated with the Veterans’ Entrepreneur Association of Lac Son district and the Soldiers’ Association protecting the ancient Citadel of Quang Tri in 1972 to hand over 3 houses with a total supported fund of 100 million VND.

Due to the effects of Covid-19 epidemic, in the first months of the year, the process of construction and handover of the houses was behind schedule. Currently, there are more than 10 veteran households still having difficulty in housing, the poverty rate is estimated at 11% in the whole district. In the coming time, the district’s Veterans’ Association will promote the propaganda and closely coordinate with the associations, the unions to direct the grassroots Associations to urgently carry out the remaining works, ensuring the completion of the houses of "The Gratitude of Teammate” according to the set number and target. 

It is important to ensure the support for the households having difficulty in housing so that they can move to live in new houses and stabilize their life before the Lunar New Year 2021. Thereby, the economy is step by step developing, contributing to promoting the local socio-economic development.
