Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 20 (Reporter Wang Youling) The reporter learned from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development on the 20th that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, my country will gradually establish and improve a long-term mechanism for housing security for rural low-income groups.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the National Bureau of Rural Revitalization have recently jointly issued the "Implementation Opinions on Doing a Good Job in the Housing Security of Key Objects such as Rural Low-income Groups."
The implementation opinions put forward that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, in accordance with the principles of "safety-oriented, local conditions, rural households, and quality improvement", the renovation of rural dilapidated houses and the earthquake-resistant renovation of rural houses in high-earthquake fortified areas will gradually establish and improve rural low-income groups. A long-term mechanism for housing safety guarantees to achieve an effective connection between the consolidation and expansion of the results of poverty alleviation and rural revitalization.
The implementation opinions are clear. In order to consolidate and expand the results of poverty alleviation and prevent large-scale return to poverty, rural housing safety guarantees are mainly targeted at rural low-income groups, including rural households prone to return to poverty, rural households with minimum living security, and rural deprived persons with scattered support, and Causes of illness, accidents and other rigid expenditures or substantial reductions in income lead to severely difficult households in basic life, etc.
At the same time, in order to continue to promote rural revitalization, support is given to marginalized families in rural areas with minimum living security and other poverty-stricken households who have not enjoyed the support of rural housing security policies and cannot solve housing security problems on their own.
The implementation opinions emphasize that the implementation of rural dilapidated houses through farmers' self-raised funds and appropriate subsidies from the government is the main way to ensure the housing safety of key objects such as rural low-income groups.
According to the actual situation of the guarantee objects, various localities can solve the housing safety problem by adopting methods such as reinforcement and reconstruction, demolition and reconstruction, site selection and construction of new or unified rural collective public rental houses, and repair and reinforcement of existing idle houses.
Renovation was also carried out on farm houses that did not meet the quake-resistance standards and the farmers met the requirements.
