Abstract
Housing for low – income people has emerged as a major concern in developing countries, especially Vietnam. The present study sought to define the factors that influence the development of low – income housing in Hanoi – a densely populated city and also the economic – cultural center of the country. We used the statistical method, comparative method of housing data and projects implemented in the period 2008 – present. Then systematized the basic theory and analyzed the status quo for low – income housing. The results demonstrated that urbanization, migration, the gap of rich and poor people, and government policies have dramatically affected low – income housing. Therefore, building policies as well as enhancing many incentives and raising the incomes for people is one of the optimal solutions for the development of low – income housing.
Keywords: Housing, low income, urbanization
1. Introduction
According to the statistics, now the housing funds are not shortage but low-income people do not have accommodations or have to stay in cramped apartments because of the phenomenon of real estate speculation that the government has no effective policy to prevent. According to the Hanoi Department of Construction, in 2017, about 11 million square meters of new housing has been built, but housing for low – income people is only about 60,000 square meters. According to the statistics of Vietnam General Confederation of Labor, housing demand for low – income people in urban areas is expected to be 1 million units by 2020, but currently only over 10,000 units per year. At present, only 20% of workers in industrial zones have stable housing. It is estimated that by 2020, there will be approximately 33.6 million square meters of housing for 4.2 million people. Currently, have 59 housing projects for workers in industrial zones with the scale of 66,950 apartments meet about 30 – 40 thousand people. Due to the gap between supply and demand, 284,000 households live simply and temporarily. The number of houses under 30 square meters (under 7 square meters / person) is 1,131,000. Most workers in industrial zones live in cramped apartments with poor sanitation. This negatively affects the health and well – being of workers. On the other hand, property prices in the real estate market have increased rapidly while incomes and accumulations of people are still very low; Especially the staff of cadres, civil servants and workers in the industrial zones are the ones who have main incomes from wages, the rise in wages does not keep with the rise of price in general market as well as the housing market in particular. Thus, the ability to own an apartment of these objects increasingly difficult.
2. Methodology
The article uses statistical, described methods to analyze the factors impact on housing for low income. In addition, inheriting selective domestic and international researches have announced related to this topic: Selective inheritance of many related research are published in Vietnam and over the world. Collecting and researching domestic and foreign documents on housing issues for low – income people in Vietnam in general as well as Hanoi in particular. Contemporaneous, this topic uses selectively the data and information published in mass media. This article will answer the question:
What are factors that affect the development of low – income housing in Hanoi?
What is the current status of low – income housing development?
Which solutions to develop housing for low – income people?
3. Literature review on housing for low income people
3.1. Concepts
Low – income people
According to this research topic, the concept of low – income people defined here include only those who are able to receive the support and have solutions to return the incentives has been awarded. Those people who live in very old houses without repair or renovation.
Low – income people are the people who have a stable income and able to accumulate funds to improve the living condition, with the support of the State on long-term loans for installment payments, are created preferential conditions on land policies and infrastructure (the borrowers are able to repay the loan).
Low – income people are the people who do not have home or have a house but in narrow area, not more than 4 square meters per person.
Housing for low – income people
Housing for low – income people is the term referring to houses, buildings, housing construction projects are built to solve housing demand for low – income people, poor peole, people with economic difficulties, peole who have jobs but have difficulties in arranging housing by the Government and the support of the benefactors through the form of the State will build, then rent or sell to these objects at preferential prices.
Low – income housing is usually operated by local government such as the district government or city government.
In Viet Nam, low – income housing is defined as houses which the State or organizations and individuals of all economic sectors to invest in building for the subjects specified by the Housing Law rent or hire – purchase (renters after a specified period of time are entitled to buy and is recognized ownership of that house) according to the regulations of the State.
3.2. Overview research relating to low – income housing
Up to now, there have been many research projects on housing issues in Vietnam in general and in Hanoi in particular as well as many research topics on the status quo of social housing, housing for low – income people … are executed by the organization and individuals.
However, in the previous studies mainly focused on general housing development solutions, low – income housing is mentioned only as a small component of the housing system of the whole society, there are not many in – depth studies on this issue. There are several related studies as following:
Nguyen Manh Ha (2008) confirmed the necessity of social housing policy for a part of cadres and civil servants working in state agencies, the objects are entitled to the social housing regime that the State issued in the Journal of Foreign Information. Thereby, the article shows that the necessary to develop and finish this policy to meet the practical requirements, ensure social security and achieve the efficiency as desired.
Trinh Duy Luan (2009) outlined the principles for mobility, the relocation in resettlement conditions, the problems that social relations and economic relations cause to resettlement housing... Resettlement is not a mere movement, but a complex problem with many different aspects of life. The article also pointed out that in order to solve the housing problem in general and resettlement housing in particular, the most important point to note that we are in the process of operating the socialist – oriented market economy.
Le Thi Bich Thuan (2015) and research team from the Institute of Architecture Research – Ministry of Construction have analyzed the status of low – income housing in Vietnam’s urban and scientific basis of architecture and construction technology to solve the problem of low – income housing in accordance with the current socio – economic conditions. Since then, proposed synchronous solutions from land use planning, architectural solutions, construction technologies, building materials for low – income housing. The research team also recommended policies and financial mechanisms for construction of housing for low – income people in urban areas in Viet Nam to create favorable conditions for low – income people to improve their houses.
In the world, housing programs in general and low – income housing in particular have been implemented for many years. From the experiences of developed countries in Europe to emerging economies countries in Asia, these projects have brought benefits to hundreds of millions people in many countries in which we can refer, learn. Therefore, in addition to the publiced relevant decrees and regulations, there are many materials include books, essays, articles in specialized journals. Here is an overview of some books, topics related to the thesis content:
Edgar O.Olsen (2001) focus studied about:
(1) Consider the justifications that have been offered for housing subsidies to low-income households and the implications of these justifications for the evaluation and design of housing programs.
(2) Describe the most important features of the largest rental housing programs for low-income households in the United States.
(3) Summarize the empirical evidence on the major effects of these programs
Jingchun Lin (2011) focused on providing an overview of low – income housing development around the world and briefly introducing the development of this segment in China. Since then, the author has provided some appropriate policy recommendations for the development of the affordable housing market of Guangzhou, China from the previous experience. In particular, with similar cultural and economic backgrounds, Guangzhou has many things to learn from experience of Hong Kong and Singapore to develop low – income housing.
Reem Abed Elkhalik (2014) provided general information on low – income housing in Jordan as well as the factors that influenced the demand for low – income housing. Simultaneously, the author also showed the current status of low – income housing here, thus designed some proposals for low – income housing development in Jordan.

In addition, by the end of 2014, there are 21 projects in Hanoi registered to convert from commercial housing to social housing with the scale of construction about 11,400 with the total investment of about 9,000 billions; 12 projects registered to adjust the structure of the apartment with the initial construction size of 3734 apartments adjusted up to 5,234 apartments.
Quality of low – income housing:
Referring to social housing, people often default think about cheap, small area, poor utility and obvious quality is also “cheap”. However, recently, the low – income housing is cheap housing but the quality of construction, technical infrastructure, society and services are better. Such as, from Dai Kim project to the most recent Minh Khai project always attracts the attention of buyers.
The low – income houses of Handico5 are always designed equivalent to the average apartment in the market with good materials, friendly environment. Besides, there are many smart utilities that give the residential area a beautiful living space of the residents. Not only home but also services, utilities, management, entertainment, community connection. For example, some projects will be able to provide sufficient facilities and services such as Sai Dong, Long Bien and Vinh Yen urban areas…
Many new urban areas grow up with the quality of infrastructure in accordance with modern standards. Trade shall, sport and entertainment services meet environmental standards, treatment of waste water such as: Linh Dam, Dinh Cong, Trung Hoa - Nhan Chinh new urban areas. Besides, there are many housing for low-income people, staff, teachers, students: housing for low income people in Xuan Dinh, Nam Dai Co Viet resettlement area ...
4.1.2. Limitations
However, up to now, the picture of low – income housing, resettlement housing in Hanoi is very fragmentary, lack of seamless.
Migration and urbanization issues
Rapid urbanization has led to a large urban-rural migration rate, especially in large cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. As a result, demand for housing is rising, especially for low – income housing. Migrants to cities often have to live in rented houses, temporary houses.

High house prices along with large price difference
Besides, the current situation in Hanoi is many projects being implemented at the same time, but the projects price has a very clear difference affecting the affordability to pay of households. With the same preferential land use fee, preferential loans, but housing projects for low income people sometimes have the price difference is double, some projects are less than 9 million/ m2, but some up to 15-17 million/ m2

Land and housing funds for low-income people are severely lacking
Hanoi is currently in serious housing shortage, especially for low and middle income people, and immediate needs at least 7 million m2 of housing, equivalent to 120,000 apartments for those who need home urgent in the area. According to the investigation of JICA (Japan), the demand for housing for rent, hire purchase of officals, civil servants, workers ... about 18,000 apartments, therein the poor need to improve housing about 30%.
In 2017, the total area of new housing in the city is about 11 million m2, of which there are only 60,000 m2 of social housing, and 164,000 m2 of resettlement house.
According to the new results published by the Ministry of Construction, currently only 22% of the nearly 3 million students are in the dormitory; only 20% of 1 million direct workers and about 1.2 – 1.5 million indirect workers have accommodation; about two thirds of the 2 million officals and civil servants have their own houses, the remainder must live in the compound, tabernacle... Thus, Hanoi is now facing a lot of difficulties in housing. The average housing area of people receiving salary from the State budget and especially low – income people is low and does not guarantee the necessary living space.
With the population density is too large, housing problems become more urgent. Simultaneously, land fund for housing is extremely limited so the planning of housing in Hanoi needs long – term calculations to meet the needs of residents.
Figure 2. Housing quality of officials, civil servants in Hanoi
(Source: The scheme on housing policy for officials and civil servants)
Projects that serve other target groups are not as effective as expected. For example, the registration of schools on the number of students wishing to enter before implement to 15,000 students in the housing projects for students. The same situation occurred in the segment of housing for workers in industrial zones. Of a total 24 units with 1,084 rooms can serve nearly 10,000 shelters in the pilot project of Kim Chung Commune, Dong Anh District serving workers in the North Thang Long Industrial Park, now have more than 3,000 vacant
Figure 3. Hanoi’s land fund in 2015
(Source: Statistics Office in Hanoi)
According to the Resolution on the ratio of residential land, housing for the development of social housing in projects of commercial housing, new urban areas in the city have to spend 25% for residential land, or 25% of the floor area to develop social housing, low – income housing. However, by the end of 2015, in Hanoi, there is only the functional urban area North of Tu Liem (with an area of about 86.5 ha with a population of about 8,000 – 8,500 people have been approved by Hanoi People's Committee in June 2014) is to spend 25% of the land fund to develop social housing.
Support policies are incompatible and synchronous
However, while the demand for low – income housing is very high, the number of projects has been implemented very low, many switch housing projects remains slow have affected the target of creating low – income housing… as the national housing strategy outlined. The package 30,000 billion to support the development of social housing has a low disbursement rate, partly due to a lack of supply and projects eligible disbursement.
Moreover, State preferential policies have not really reached the enterprises, therefore, they can not encourage and attract enterprises to build social housing, low – income housing. In addition to being exempt from land use fees, rent for construction land for low – income housing and housing for workers, the enterprises involved in building social housing in Hanoi as well as across the country are not entitled to other incentives.
Enterprises which invested in construction of low – income housing are exempt from value – added tax (VAT) and corporate income tax (CIT) for four years (Acoording to Decision no. 67/2009/QD-TTg). However, after nearly 3 months, in Decision No. 96/QD-TTg dated 22 July 2009, the investor is entitled to a 50% reduction in VAT only and entitled to corporate income tax exemption only in 2009. This lead to many enterprises are depressed due to changes in preferences. In addition, the incentive policies have indicated that enterprises are given priority loans, interest rate support ... but it does not specify which banks apply this offer, so it is not easy to access loan.
The Government has not yet issued specific price regulations that make the prices of apartments inconsistent and lack of transparency; the standard of apartments is only general, which leads to people do not have the correct basis to compare the quality and price of the projects to make a reasonable choice
4.2. Some solutions to develop low – income housing
4.2.1. Facilitate to improve the low – income housing
Upgrade the quality of housing
While the quality of low – income housing is a problem, this solution aims to safeguard people's lives, ensure minimum accommodation as well as improve living conditions while minimizing the cost of living. Simultaneously, in terms of technical infrastructure, it is recommended that the State and citizens work together in which the State acts as the main investor and the citizens contribute labor to reduce the burden on the low income people.
Development and expansion of low – income housing construction projects with the installment payments
Buying a house for low – income people is very difficult without the support of the State. The State can apply supportive policies to people who buy houses, such as people can pay in different phases: pay 50% of the value in phase 1, pay 30 % of the value in phase 2 and the rest can be paid in 5-10 years ...
4.2.2. Develop investment in low – income housing market
Liberalization of housing construction for low – income people: all components and all types of businesses, organizations and individuals that meet technical and financial conditions are eligible to participate in low – income housing construction. Diversify forms of investment, types of housing development and business organization: private, state, joint-stock, joint-venture, cooperative. Besides, it is necessary to strongly encourage corporations, real estate investment companies, construction companies (including foreign corporations and companies) to have financial and technology capabilities directly invest into this field. In addition, strengthen the building materials market and services related to the construction and provision of housing for low – income people.
4.2.3. Solutions for land – use planning
For low – income housing, land funds are needed to connect with the workplace and public services, to form “The complex”: “Industrial zone – Housing for workers–public services”, “Universities – dormitories – public services”…
Hanoi needs to have detailed planning (including land fund assigned to enterprises for low – income housing construction). Long-term and widespread strategic planning must be completed, to provide a framework for linking policy and urban space so that the planning and investment in housing, the entire social infrastructure – urban space are basically developed according to urban planning.
4.2.4. Financial solution
Having a financial system properly to ensure adequate supply of capital for production and maintenance of the housing fund and facilities, as well as creating the conditions for the purchase can be repaid over a long period.
Establishing "Housing saving fund" (This fund is formed on the basis of the restructuring of housing development fund in localities). Funds are formed by contribution of employees’s salary at the prescribed rate (Some countries set 10-15%, the lowest is 3-5%). “Housing saving fund” for low – income people to buy houses and mortgages by itselfs and then pay off monthly for many years, maybe up to 10 years. Shift the focus from facilitating the supply side to facilitating the demand side. When the demand side has enough capacity to pay, the market will follow the supply and demand mechanism to meet that demand in terms of price, quantity and quality. Gradually, the competitive mechanism will operate vigorously, adjusting supply and demand relations and prices. In short, the market will perform its function of effectively mobilizing the resources of the society.
4.2.5. Public-Private Partnership Solutions
Vietnam can study the model of the German House Savings Fund in the direction of privatization and cooperation of public-private form (PPP). This is perfectly suited with present conditions, when the state budget is not enough to fully support the fund, while raising capital from non-state sector for funds has become the inevitable trend.
4.3. Conclusion
Low – income housing is a problem that any nation or any city faces. The quality of low – income housing is also a measure of the development of the social security system life’s quality, the beauty of architecture, the landscape of a locality and the whole country, confirm the social management level of the State and local government. The necessary condition is the housing issue is one of the top priorities, must be resolved comprehensively and stably for the country can develop in a sustainable way in the coming time, strive to become a modern industrial country. Under the difficult conditions of our country in general and Hanoi in particular, how to build and develop low – income housing, social housing in a suitable way so that these objects stabilize their lives, peace of mind to work is very necessary.
