I. Job requirements

Under the guidance of Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, adhere to the idea of people-centered development, adhere to the orientation that houses are used for living, not for speculation, and highlight the livelihood attributes of housing. we will speed up the construction of a housing security system with public rental housing, indemnificatory rental housing and co-ownership housing as the main body in our province, further speed up the development of indemnificatory rental housing, and expand the supply of indemnificatory rental housing. We will optimize the supply structure of the housing rental market, alleviate the shortage of structural supply in the housing rental market, promote a new type of urbanization with people as the core, and promote the realization of housing for all the people.

Indemnificatory rental housing mainly solves the housing difficulties of qualified new citizens, young people and other groups, mainly small households with a construction area of no more than 70 square meters, and the rent is lower than the rental housing rent of the same quality market in the same location. Cities at or above the prefecture level should formulate specific conditions for access and exit as well as specific area management requirements for small households according to different ways of raising and building indemnificatory rental housing. (the municipal people's governments at or above the prefecture level are responsible)

(2) to make clear the key points of development. Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou, Foshan, Huizhou, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen and Zhanjiang are key cities for the development of indemnificatory rental housing. According to the size of the resident population, population inflow distribution, public service facilities and transportation and other conditions, combined with urban rail transit stations and urban construction key areas, scientific distribution of housing, speed up the development of indemnificatory rental housing. Other cities can build dormitory-type affordable rental housing according to the actual needs of industrial parks, major enterprises (including scientific research and educational institutions) and major projects, so as to promote the balance of employment and living.
