China News Service, Haikou, September 23 (Zhang Yuehe) As the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port accelerates and the population continues to flow in, housing is one of the issues that the people are most concerned about. On the 22nd, Zhuo Shucheng, director of the Housing Security and Provident Fund Supervision Division of the Hainan Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said at a press conference held by the Hainan Provincial Information Office that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, Hainan will continue to improve the housing security system, optimize the supply structure of affordable housing, improve the efficiency of housing security services, and do a solid job in public services in housing security.
Based on the top-level design of national housing security and combined with local practical exploration, Hainan will continue to improve the Hainan Free Trade Port's characteristic housing security system, which is mainly composed of public rental housing, affordable rental housing, affordable housing, and allotment-type affordable housing. Through public rental housing, it will solve the problem of urban income and housing "double poverty" families who cannot afford to rent a house. Through affordable rental housing, it will solve the problem of new citizens and young people who "cannot afford to rent a house."
Hainan will be demand-oriented and comprehensively use various channels such as new construction, renovation, acquisition, and revitalization of existing housing stock to strengthen the financing of affordable housing. Adhere to both the issuance of housing rental subsidies and the allocation of physical housing, and implement the basic guarantee of public rental housing; focus on cities with net population inflows and cities and counties where key industrial parks of Hainan Free Trade Port are located, increase the supply of small-sized and dormitory-type affordable rental housing; focus on steadily promoting the construction of affordable housing and allotment-type affordable housing in the main urban areas of cities where commodity housing prices are high and the housing price-to-income ratio of urban residents is large. Cities and counties are also encouraged to establish or designate state-owned enterprises specializing in affordable housing, create investment, financing, and operation platforms for affordable housing projects, and enhance the large-scale and professional supply capabilities of affordable housing.
Zhuo Shucheng said that Hainan will also speed up the establishment of a province-wide unified housing guarantee waiting list system, strengthen the full-process management of affordable housing, and improve the management mechanism of application, waiting, allotment, use, and exit. Continue to improve the province's housing security information platform, deepen the reform of the "one thing" government service for housing security, and continuously improve the accessibility of public housing security services and people's satisfaction and sense of gain.
