"Today just happens to be free, so I will come over to do some exercise." In a long-term rental apartment in Shushan District, Hefei City, Anhui Province, tenant Ling Shiyu is exercising in front of the gym equipment.
Two years ago, Ling Shiyu, who had just graduated from university, came to Hefei to work. "Where to live" became the first problem he faced.

Ling Shiyu said, "There is a loop here and there are apartments for rent. If you ask carefully, it is a guaranteed lease. Housing. The house is well-decorated, with broadband, property and other expenses, and it’s not expensive, it couldn’t be more appropriate."
In recent years, with the continuous development of the city, many migrants come to Hefei for employment every year, and the housing problem of these people needs to be solved urgently.
Since being listed as a pilot city for affordable rental housing in 2019, Hefei has implemented various strategies and promoted in various ways to accelerate the improvement of the rental housing security system, and strive to solve the problem of settlement for new citizens and young people.

"The Visionox apartment located in the high-tech zone of Hefei Xinzhan is a typical case of using the supporting land in the park to build a new building." New dormitory apartment building.
The unit area is mainly 30 square meters, and there are currently more than 1,300 employees, which relieves the housing pressure of the young employees of the company.
In addition, Hefei also encourages relevant units to use their own stock of idle land, without changing the nature of the land, to start construction of new rental housing.
Within the urban area, the planned use of non-residential buildings such as commercial offices, industrial plants, storage, scientific research and education, and built idle stock houses that have no expropriation plan within two years can also apply for conversion into affordable rental housing.
While expanding the supply channels of housing, Hefei also introduced a series of supporting policies.
Su Kui, a second-level investigator of the Hefei Housing Security and Real Estate Administration, said: “In terms of increasing land supply, Hefei has proposed a land support policy such as that land for affordable rental housing accounts for about 15% of the land used for commercial housing. At present, it has provided a total of about 2,100 acres. State-owned construction land, 231.5 acres of collective construction land, and about 34,000 newly built and equipped leased housing units."

The Guanyu Financial Center store currently rented by Zhang Wanjun is located in Guanshaling Street, Yuelu District, Changsha City, Hunan Province.
When renting a house last year, she compared a dozen nearby rental houses, some of which were too expensive, and some were too old to be suitable.

In 2019, cities such as Changsha have been identified as pilots of affordable rental housing, and the central government will provide incentives and subsidies.
In order to raise rental housing through multiple channels, Changsha issued a bonus fund allocation plan, clarifying that newly built, revitalized, and renovated rental housing can be rewarded and supplemented.
Regarding the renovation of leased housing, the plan stipulates that the centralized renovation of eligible existing houses as leased houses, and the continuous operation period of the lease is not less than 5 years, will be subsidized according to the progress at the standard of 650 yuan per square meter.

After the enterprise submits the relevant invoices and payment vouchers, and is reviewed by a professional law firm, the center then informs the bank to lift the freeze on the bonus funds.
Since 2019, Changsha has accelerated the raising of housing stocks, and issued 105,000 housing units for the three-year pilot project at one time.
In 2020, 67,100 new rental housing units have been raised for record. This year, all districts and counties (cities) have raised 20,500 units after review and publicity.

For new citizens and young people
Adhere to low rents for small apartments
"After years of development, my country's housing security capacity has continued to increase. It has built more than 80 million sets of various types of affordable housing and shed reform resettlement housing, and helped more than 200 million people improve their housing conditions." The Housing Security Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is responsible. People introduced.
However, with the acceleration of urbanization and the expansion of the floating population, the problems of new citizens and young people who cannot afford houses and cannot rent suitable houses have become increasingly apparent.
This year, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Affordable Rental Housing" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), proposing the need to accelerate the improvement of a housing security system with public rental housing, affordable rental housing and shared property housing as the main body.
Unlike public rental housing, which is mainly for urban housing and the supply of income "double-difficulty" households, affordable rental housing mainly solves the staged housing difficulties of eligible new citizens, young people and other groups.
As early as the end of 2019, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has deployed pilot projects in 13 cities including Shenyang, Hefei, Fuzhou, Jinan, and Changsha, focusing on the development of small-sized, low-rent affordable rental housing for new citizens (original policy-based leases). Housing).
The pilot cities are actively exploring sustainable business operation models with government policies, bank support, and multi-participation, and a batch of replicable and popularized experiences have been formed.
"The "Opinions" encourage the participation of market forces, and clarify a series of supporting policies and reform measures for approval systems such as land, finance, taxation, and finance, with high accuracy, high gold content, and strong operability." Yan Rong, Dean of Shanghai Institute of Real Estate Sciences It is believed that the implementation of supporting policies such as land use and taxation will help further reduce the construction and operating costs of rental housing, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of various entities to participate in the development of rental housing.
At present, many places are accelerating the construction of affordable rental housing.
Among them, Shanghai proposed to build 400,000 units (rooms) of affordable rental housing during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, accounting for about 40% of the total housing supply; There are 7 preparation methods for new construction of stock land, construction of industrial parks, and transformation and configuration of urban villages. By 2025, the task of raising 600,000 sets of affordable rental housing will be completed.
It is understood that in May this year, the housing and urban-rural construction section held two batches of 40-city symposiums, and the 40 cities plan to raise 930,000 sets of affordable rental housing within this year.
The relevant person in charge of the Housing Security Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development said that all localities must establish and improve the housing rental service management platform, strengthen the supervision of the whole process of construction, rental and operation management of affordable rental housing, and strengthen the supervision of project quality and safety.
Guaranteed rental housing shall not be sold on the market or sold in disguise, and it is strictly forbidden to operate illegally or defraud preferential policies in the name of guarantee rental housing.
"In large cities with many new citizens and young people, high housing prices, or greater upward pressure, during the '14th Five-Year Plan' period, the proportion of newly-added affordable rental housing to the total newly-added housing supply should strive to reach more than 30%. The person in charge said that by the end of October this year, all localities should determine the construction goals and policies of the "14th Five-Year Plan" for affordable rental housing, formulate an annual construction plan, and announce it to the public.
