Chinanews, Beijing, Sep 1 – China plans to have solved the housing problem of some 10 million low-income families by 2010. This is the first time for China to include the housing problem of low-income families into the government's public service system.

 

The statement was made by Qi Ji, Vice1 Minister of Construction, on Thursday.

 

China is at a transitional period when many conflicts emerge in society. If the government can't solve the housing problem for low-income families, this may lead to some new social conflict and may affect social stability. Solving the housing problem for low-income families should be regarded as an important part of the government’s housing reform and a good way to protect the interests for the masses, he said.

 

Based on the current situation, China has 10 million low-income families. The per capita living space for people in these families is less than 10 square meters and these people should be included into the housing security system. By the end of 2006, there were 512 cities in China that had set up the low-rent system. However, only 268,000 people across China had actually benefited from the low-rent housing system, accounting2 for 6.7% of the people that were covered by the minimum living allowance scheme, accounting for 2.7% of the total number of families with housing problems, and only 0.15% of the total families in cities across China.
