The construction of affordable rental housing that focuses on solving the prominent housing problems in big cities and alleviating the housing difficulties of new citizens and young people has entered the fast lane.
According to data released by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, 40 cities across the country plan to raise 936,000 new affordable rental housing units this year, and 770,000 units have been started from January to October, accounting for 82.2% of the annual plan.
More than ten cities including Changsha, Chengdu, Qingdao, Jinan, Nanjing, Wuhan, Ningbo, Nanning and Hangzhou have completed their annual plans.
Judging from the recent clear targets for the construction of affordable rental housing during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, all regions will effectively increase the supply of affordable rental housing.
Ni Hong, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, recently stated that affordable rental housing is the top priority of housing security in the new development stage. Various localities have accelerated the development of affordable rental housing and formed a batch of replicable and popularized experiences.
Announce construction plans in multiple places
Affordable rental housing allows new urban residents and young people to see the hope of solving the housing problem.
Which cities will focus on developing affordable rental housing?
How much supply will there be in the future?
Previously, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Affordable Rental Housing", which accelerated the pace of development of affordable rental housing.
All localities have determined the construction goals and policy measures of affordable rental housing during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, formulated annual plans, and announced them to the public one after another.
Xiang Yongdan, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said that taking Zhejiang Province as an example, in the future, affordable rental housing will be developed in 11 districts, cities, and 26 counties (cities).
Calculated on the basis of 11 square meters per capita and 70 square meters per unit, Zhejiang Province has set the construction target of raising 1.2 million units (rooms) of affordable rental housing during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
Recently, various regions have successively announced plans for the construction of affordable rental housing.
According to statistics, 8 cities including Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Xi'an, and Chengdu have raised more than 300,000 units (rooms) of affordable rental housing during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
Between 150,000 and 300,000 sets (rooms) are in 13 cities including Wuhan, Ningbo, Xiamen, Qingdao, Zhengzhou, Suzhou, Tianjin, Jinan, Nanjing, Hefei, Fuzhou, Changsha, and Jinhua.
About 100,000 sets (rooms) are in 10 cities including Nanning, Guiyang, Wenzhou, Jiaxing, Dongguan, Taizhou, Luoyang, Nanchang, Wuxi and Shijiazhuang.
Multiple channels to ensure total supply
According to Cao Jinbiao, director of the Housing Security Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, affordable rental housing can help alleviate the pressure on land supply in big cities by improving land support policies, guiding multi-entity investment and multi-channel supply.
Collective land has become one of the sources of affordable rental housing construction.
For example, the two affordable rental housing projects in Beijing, the Chengshou Temple Project and the Youchao Headquarters Base Project, both use collective land for construction.
Many enterprises and institutions have a considerable amount of their own idle land, and at the same time, housing for newly employed employees of enterprises and institutions is relatively difficult.
The use of idle land owned by enterprises and institutions to construct affordable rental housing is mainly for newly employed young employees of the unit and can help them solve the phased housing difficulties.
For example, Xidian University used its own land to build 403 affordable rental housing units to solve the problem of the difficulty of renting faculty and the short-term transition of introducing talents.
Industrial parks are places where new citizens and young people work together, and there is a large demand for affordable rental housing.
At present, many cities have raised the upper limit of the proportion of supporting land for industrial projects in industrial parks, and the increased part is mainly used for the construction of dormitory-type affordable rental housing.
For example, in order to meet BYD’s need to build affordable rental housing in the industrial park, Xi’an issued the “Certificate of Affordable Rental Housing Project” to BYD Automobile Co., Ltd., allowing the dismantling of some idle and low-efficiency factories and freeing up land for the construction of dormitory-type guarantees. There are 12 sex-rental houses with 4,416 units (rooms), solving the housing problem of tens of thousands of employees.
Non-residential stock houses can be used to reconstruct affordable rental housing.
During the period when non-residential stock houses are used as affordable rental housing, the land price is not paid, which is conducive to reducing the construction cost of affordable rental housing.
For example, Xiamen City has raised 23 existing non-residential housing reconstruction projects since July, with 9,400 houses (rooms).
"Full use of land support policies can guide village collective economic organizations, enterprises and institutions, park enterprises, housing leasing companies, real estate development companies, etc., to actively develop affordable rental housing." Cao Jinbiao said, "These support policies are aimed at reducing land costs. Make the rent not higher than the market rent, so that new citizens and young people can afford to rent."
Mainly for new citizens without houses
Judging from the implementation measures for affordable rental housing issued by various regions, affordable rental housing adheres to small-sized units, low rents, and is mainly small-sized units with a floor area of no more than 70 square meters, and all regions have clearly stated that they are mainly for new citizens and young people without housing. There is no income threshold.
Some cities have more specific guidance on the area of affordable rental housing.
For example, Xiamen City proposes to focus on small apartments of 30 square meters to 40 square meters; the blue-collar apartment launched by Hangzhou City mainly solves the problem of "difficult renting" for migrant workers such as property, catering, cleaning, and security. The apartment design is about 30 square meters. Fuzhou has stipulated that 90% of the newly-built affordable rental housing projects in the main urban area are less than 60 square meters.
Some cities have given specific requirements for the rent range of affordable rental housing and the upper limit of the annual increase.
For example, Shanghai has made it clear that the rental price should be below 90% of the market rent, and the maximum annual rent increase should not exceed 5%; Chengdu proposes that the rent shall be implemented at 75% to 90% of the market rent, and the annual increase should not exceed 5%; Hangzhou requires the rent of blue-collar apartments The price is not higher than 70% of the market rent; Wuhan City requires that the rent be determined at not higher than 85% of the rent of market rental housing.
At present, the conditions for applying for affordable rental housing in various places are that there is no room in the locality.
For example, Hangzhou’s Blue Collar Apartments mainly cater to migrant workers in basic public service industries and require that there is no housing in the urban area and legal and stable employment; Changsha City has made it clear that in principle, tenants should have no own housing and no income line in the jurisdiction. Personal integrity declaration.
However, loose conditions do not mean that there is no threshold.
Ni Hong said, “It is necessary to strengthen supervision and management of affordable rental housing. This type of housing must be eligible for housing difficult groups to live in, and only rent but not sell. These two bottom lines must be kept to ensure that those who really need it can be protected. , Can't change the taste".
