Our District Has Issued Over 17 Million Yuan of Youth Rental Subsidies
Updated: 2021-08-31

Lately, Huang Fuyan, who had been working in Beilun for more than a year, successfully applied for the youth housing rental subsidy in our district, which would save her rent by nearly 4,000 yuan in a year. As one of the first batch of pilot counties (cities, districts) to implement the Medium and Long-term Youth Development Plan in our country, in order to solve the renting difficulty of youth at a stage, our district took the lead in the province to introduce the youth housing rental subsidy policy in 2019, the eligible youths could receive a rental subsidy of about 6,000 yuan/household on average every year, and not less than 10,000 persons were covered cumulatively.

As more and more young people gather in Beilun, the subsidy policy is constantly adjusted and upgraded according to the needs of young people. In February this year, our district began to implement the new version of the Implementing Rules for Youth Applying for Housing Rental Subsidies in Beilun District. Compared with the previous policy, the new policy further enhances the effectiveness and accuracy of policy implementation and expands the scope of youth coverage.

“Firstly, the new policy relaxes the age limit for young people. The age of applicants applying for housing rental subsidies is 18 to 35, and will be relaxed to 40 for those with a master's degree and above or with an intermediate professional and technical titles and above or who are senior workers or higher-level technicians. Secondly, it expands the scope of census register, the census register of the applicants is expanded to 6 districts in Ningbo City, namely Haishu District, Jiangbei District, Yinzhou District, Zhenhai District, Beilun District, and Fenghua District.” The relevant person in charge of the District Housing Fund Management Center introduced.

“I have been working in Beilun for more than a year. The government subsidy saves 3,600 yuan of rent in a year. I hear that this subsidy can be received for 3 consecutive years. It is too humane.” Yin Panpan, who is 31-year-old this year, said happily.

It is worth noting that the new policy also shortens the social insurances payment term requirement from the original 12 months to 6 months, which means that young people who have paid social insurances in Beilun for 6 consecutive months can apply for rental subsidies, greatly reducing the threshold for rent subsidies application. In addition, the applicant only needs to apply online through the “Zheliban” APP in Youth Beilun Module without submitting materials offline, thus achieving “no trouble for youth”.

Good publicity and utilization of the new subsidy policy is a key work this year. In the first half of this year, through the active cooperation of the park, enterprises, and communities, our district accurately positioned the job-seeking young people. At the job fairs of “Spring Breeze Sending Jobs” in Chunxiao Lake Industrial Community and the “‘Job’ Waiting for You” in Lingang Industrial and Logistics Park of Xiapu Sub-district, the consultation points of “Youth Housing Rental Subsidy Policy” were crowded, and the staff patiently answered questions of the job-seeking young people.

In addition, through the 8718 Beilun platform, the government staff interacted with young netizens in the form of webcast and answered policy questions online for the first time. At the same time, the new policy publicity cartoon was elaborately produced to deepen the young people’s understanding of the policy through vivid images and words.

“The subsidy policies are adjusted and developed continuously to meet the needs of young people, which to a certain extent alleviates the housing pressure on young people and better improve the living conditions of young people in Beilun.” The staff of District Housing Fund Management Center said.

Up to now, the Beilun Youth Public Rental Housing Rental Subsidies have covered 2,470 families and 7,194 persons in total, and the accumulative rental subsidies issued is about 17.03 million yuan. The centralized online declaration in the second half of this year is expected to be carried out in October. (Reporter: Yu Jiaojiao. Correspondents: Cao Nan, Zhou Lingfen)
