女士们，先生们：　　大家上午好！按照国务院新闻办的安排，现在向大家介绍一下《国务院关于解决城市低收入家庭住房困难的若干意见》的起草情况和有关工作部署。　　一、关于《若干意见》的起草过程和指导思想、基本原则

　　党中央、国务院高度重视解决群众的住房问题。改革开放以来，我国城镇住房制度改革不断深化，多数居民的住房条件得到了较大改善。但部分城市低收入家庭住房还比较困难。今年政府工作报告强调，要加大财税等政策的支持力度，帮助解决低收入家庭的住房困难。国务院部署建设部等有关部门，在充分调查研究基础上，起草了《若干意见》。8月7日，国务院已经正式印发实施。这是国务院关于解决民生问题的又一重大决策。8月24日，国务院召开了全国住房工作会议，就贯彻落实《若干意见》进行部署。曾培炎副总理出席会议并做了重要讲话。　　《若干意见》要求把解决城市低收入家庭住房困难作为维护群众利益的重要工作和住房制度改革的重要内容，作为政府公共服务的一项重要职责，加快建立健全以廉租住房制度为重点、多渠道解决城市低收入家庭住房困难的政策体系。　　《若干意见》明确了以下基本原则：一是立足国情，满足基本居住需要。二是统筹规划，分步解决。三是政府主导，社会参与。四是统一政策、因地制宜；五是省级负总责，市县抓落实。　　二、关于《若干意见》的主要政策规定　　一是扩大廉租住房制度的保障范围。“十一五”期末，全国廉租住房制度保障范围要扩大到低收入住房困难家庭。2007年底前，所有设区的城市要对符合规定住房困难条件、申请廉租住房租赁补贴的城市低保家庭基本做到应保尽保；2008年底前，所有县城要基本做到应保尽保。东部地区和其他有条件的地区在2008年底之前将廉租住房制度扩大到低收入家庭。　　二是健全廉租住房制度的各项规定。（1）合理确定廉租住房对象标准和保障标准。具体标准由各市县人民政府根据当地人均收入和人均住房水平的一定比例确定。（2）以发放租赁住房补贴和实物配租相结合，完善廉租住房保障方式。（3）多渠道增加廉租住房房源。要通过政府新建、收购、改建以及社会捐赠等方式多渠道筹集房源，小户型租赁住房短缺和房屋租金较高的地区，近期政府要加大建设力度。新建廉租住房主要在经济适用住房小区和普通商品住房小区中配建，也可以集中建设。　　三是确保廉租住房保障资金来源。地方财政要将廉租住房保障资金纳入年度预算安排；住房公积金增值净收益全部用于廉租住房建设；土地出让净收益用于廉租住房保障资金的比例不得低于10％。对于中西部财政困难地区，中央财政给予专项支持。　　四是改进和规范经济适用住房制度。经济适用住房供应对象为城市低收入家庭；套型建筑面积控制在60平方米左右；购房满5年以上方可出售，出售时应当按照届时同地段普通商品住房与经济适用住房差价的一定比例向政府交纳土地收益等价款。结构性矛盾突出、房价上涨较快的地区要加大建设规模。同时，还要求集资合作建房严格按照经济适用住房的有关规定执行。　　五是逐步改善棚户区、旧住宅区和农民工的居住条件。对集中成片的棚户区，城市人民政府要制定改造计划，因地制宜进行改造。对可整治的旧住宅区要积极进行房屋维修养护、配套设施完善、环境整治和建筑节能改造。要求按照“城市统筹规划、用工单位负责、政府政策引导”的原则，多渠道改善农民工居住条件。　　三、关于健全住房保障工作机制　　一是要落实经济政策和用地政策。对保障性住房建设，免收各种行政事业性收费、政府性基金；实行划拨方式供应土地，并在年度用地计划中优先安排、保证供应。同时，要求加强规划设计管理，确保工程质量、功能质量。　　二是健全工作机制。要求抓紧开展低收入家庭住房状况调查，在今年年底前建立低收入住房困难家庭档案，制定工作目标、发展规划和年度计划，并落实资金和用地；要求健全廉租住房制度和经济适用住房制度中的申请、审核和公示办法，严格开展申请人家庭收入、住房状况的调查审核，健全退出机制。　　三是落实工作责任。省级人民政府负总责，实行目标责任制管理，加强监督指导，纳入对市县政府的考核。城市政府要加强领导，健全工作机构；每年要在《政府工作报告》中向同级人大报告工作完成情况。国务院有关部门将加快制定有关的资金、土地、税收、金融等配套政策，加强监督检查。　　四、关于加强房地产市场宏观调控　　近年来，房地产市场调控取得积极成效。但商品住房市场供应结构仍不尽合理，一些地方供求矛盾突出。今年以来，部分城市特别是东部沿海大城市商品住房价格上涨幅度较大。下一步，要继续抓好国务院关于房地产市场调控政策的落实，在加大廉租住房和经济适用住房供应的同时，重点抓好以下工作：　　一是，大力增加普通住房供应，加大住房供应结构调整力度，坚持落实好“两个70％” 以及限价房政策，重点发展中低价位、中小套型普通商品住房，稳定房价。　　二是，调控和引导住房需求。完善有区别的税收、信贷政策，坚决打击投机性购房，有效抑制投资性购房，加大对大套型住房需求的调控力度，引导居民合理的住房消费。　　三是，严厉打击房地产开发销售过程中的违法违规行为。加强全过程监管，严肃查处违法规划、虚假广告、合同欺诈等行为，特别是要坚决查处对囤积土地、捂盘惜售、恶意炒作和哄抬房价等违法违规行为。

Ladies and gentlemen,

Good morning.

According to the arrangement of the state press office, I will first brief you the work of drafting Opinions on Solving Housing Difficulty for Urban Low-Income Families.

I. The drafting process, guidelines and principles

The CPC and State Council place high emphasis on the people’s housing problems. Since the reform and opening-up, the urban housing system reform has been carried out, and most residents’ housing conditions has been greatly improved. Still some urban low-income families face housing difficulty. This year’s work report of the government stressed, we should help them solve housing difficulty by adopting more supportive policies such as finance and tax. The State Council appointed Ministry of Construction and other relevant departments to draft the Opinions on the basis of full investigation and study. On August7, the Opinions have been put into effect, which is a significant decision aiming to solving people’s living problems by the State Council. On August 24, the State Council convened National Housing Working Conference, giving guidance on the implementation. On that meeting, Vice Premier Mr. Zeng Peiyan made an important speech.

The Opinions requires that we view the work of solving housing difficulty for urban low-income families as the major component of protecting people’s interests and the housing system reform, and as an important responsibility of the government’s public service. We should speed up to establish the policy system of focusing on the low-rent housing system and solving housing difficulty for urban low-income families by multiple channels.

The Opinions clarifies the following basic principles. The first one is to base on the national conditions and to satisfy the basic needs of residents. The second one is to make integrated plan and to proceed by steps. The third one is government-leading and social participation. The fourth one is to unify the policies and to consider local special conditions. The fifth one is that the provincial government takes the overall responsibility and the city and county government put into execution.

II. The main policy provisions

First, the coverage of low-rent housing security should be expanded. By the end of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan, the policy would have covered the low-income families. By the end of 2007, all the cities with districts should guarantee the housing of the low-income families who apply for low-rent housing subsidies and meet the related requirements. By the end of 2008, all the counties should make it as the cities do. Meantime, by the end of 2008, the eastern area and other advanced developed areas should incorporate the low-income families into the low-rent housing system.

Second, the provisions on the low-rent housing system should be perfected. The selection criteria for beneficiary and standards of the security should be rationally identified. The specific standards should be formulated by the city and county government based on a certain percentage of the local average income and housing level. The rental subsidy should be supplemented by the supply of rental housing to form a complete low-rent housing mode. The stock of low-rent housing should be created by multiple channels, such as newly built, purchased, or rebuilt by the government or donated by the society. In those areas in which small rental-apartments are in shortage and housing rents are high, the government should build more housing for rent. The newly built low-rent housing could be scattered in the affordable housing district and common commercial housing district, or be built as a cluster.

Third, the capital for low-rent housing security should be ensured. The local finance should incorporate it into the annual budget. The net income of the Housing Provident Fund should totally be used to low-rent housing construction. No less than 10% of the net income of the land transfer should be expensed to guarantee low-rent housing. The central government will earmark special fund to support the middle and western areas.

Fourth, the affordable housing system needs to be improved and regulated. The beneficiaries of the affordable housing are low-income families. The building area per apartment should be limited to around 60 square meters. The affordable housing can only be on sale 5 years after the purchase. A part of the sale price will be compensated to the government as the land revenue based on a certain percentage of the price gap between the economically affordable housing and the common commodity housing at the sale time. In those areas with unbalanced housing structure and surging housing price, the development scale of economically affordable housing should be expanded. In addition, the fund-raising cooperative housing development should be carried out on the regulations of the affordable housing.

Fifth, the living conditions of the shantytown, old resident districts, and migrated workers’ temporary housing should be gradually improved. The city government should make redevelopment plan for the shantytown based on the local conditions. In the old residential districts, the housing should be repaired and maintained, the associated facilities should be constructed, the environment should be improved and the energy-saving renovation should be launched. To improve the living conditions of the migrated worker, we should practice on the principles of unified planning, employers’ accountability and governments’ policy guidance.

III. Perfect housing security working system

First is to put in place the economic policy and land policy. The housing development for security purpose will be exempted from administrative fees and government fund. The land will be prioritized and ensured in the annual land use plan and supplied by direct transfer. Meanwhile, the administration on the planning and design will be intensified to ensure the projects’ quality and functions.

Second is to perfect the working system. The investigation on the housing conditions of the low-income families should be conducted right away and the files of the low-income families with housing difficulty should be created by the end of this year. The objectives, the development plan and the annual plan need to be worked out, and the capital and land need to be ready. The system of application, review and examination, and publicity for the low-rent housing and affordable housing should be improved, the investigation and examination on the applicants’ family income and housing conditions should be strictly conducted, and the exit system should be in place.

Third is to identify roles and responsibilities. The provincial governments take the overall responsibilities, manage by objectives, strengthen the supervision and guidance, and appraise the performance of the city governments. The city governments need to enhance leadership, improve the working institution, and report to the people’s congress of the same level through the annual government work report. The relevant departments of the State Council will speed up to work out the associated policies concerning the capital, land providing, tax and finance, and intensify the inspection and supervision.

IV. Strengthen the macro-regulation on the real estate market

In recent years, the regulation and control on the real estate market has obtained positive results. However, commercial housing market supply structure is still unreasonable. The gap between the housing demand and supply in some areas is remarkable, and since this year, the housing prices increase in an accelerated trend in some cities, especially the coast big cities in east China. We should make every effort to execute the regulation and control policy on the real estate market made by the State Council. Besides increasing the supply of the low-rent housing and affordable housing, we will focus on the following three aspects:

First is to increase the supply of common commercial housing, and to adjust the housing supply structure. We should stick to the policy of two 70% and price ceiling, put more stress on the development of low-and-middle price housing and medium-and-small-size apartment, and stabilize housing prices.  

Second is to influence the housing demand. By adopting the differentiated tax policy and credit policy, we should crack down on the speculative action, restrain the housing purchase on investment purpose, and regulate and control the demand of large-size apartment, which will contribute to a rational housing consumption.

Third is to rigorously stop the illegal actions in the process of housing development and sale. We should strengthen the supervision and administration on all the process, check and punish the illegitimate behavior such as illegal planning, false advertisement and contract fraud, particularly the actions of stocking up lands, bidding up price, dishonest publicity, speculating on housing prices, etc.

Now, I am glad to take your questions on the “Opinions” and National Housing Working Conference.
