  • Dong Nai City's Thanh Tra has uncovered hundreds of invalid applications for social housing.
  • Applicants provided false information regarding social insurance contributions and income levels.
  • Authorities will investigate potential criminal violations and re-evaluate eligibility for social housing.

Dong Nai City's Thanh Tra has revealed that hundreds of applications for social housing projects contain falsified information. Investigations into three projects found that applicants misrepresented their social insurance participation and income details, failing to match records provided by tax and social insurance agencies.

The Thanh Tra has recommended that the Chairman of the City People's Committee direct the Department of Construction to collaborate with relevant units and project developers. Together, they must review and address the non-compliant applications. The department is also tasked with implementing stricter measures to enhance transparency and prevent corruption in the selection, purchase, and rental of social housing.

If the review uncovers any signs of criminal activity, the case files will be transferred to the investigative authorities. Developers are urged to work with the Department of Construction to rectify applications with inaccurate employment and income data. Buyers who provided false information or do not meet the eligibility criteria will have their contracts invalidated, and they will be required to return the property. Failure to do so will result in mandatory eviction and confiscation by authorities.
