Completely relax the conditions for settling in Type I large cities with a permanent population of 3 million to 5 million. Improve the point-based policy on household settlement in mega megacities with a resident population of 5 million or more, streamline the number of points awarded, ensure that the number of years of social security payment and the number of years of residence account for the majority of points, and encourage the abolition of the annual quota for household settlement. Improve the mechanism for the provision of basic public services through the residence permit, which is linked to the length of residence and other conditions, and encourage local governments to provide more basic public services and facilitation, and improve the actual level of access to services such as compulsory education and housing security in urban areas for residence permit holders.

Adhere to the positioning that “houses are for living, not for speculation,” and accelerate the establishment of a housing system with multiple main sources of supply, multiple channels of subsidized housing, and promote both rental and purchase, so that all people can live in a residence and there is a balance between jobs and housing. Adhere to local conditions and multiple measures, emphasize on the main responsibility of city governments, and stabilize land prices, housing prices and expectations. Establish a linkage mechanism for housing and land, strengthen regulation of real estate-related finance, enable housing-related taxation to play a regulatory role, support reasonable demand for self-occupying (buy and live in it) and curb investment and speculative demand. Accelerate the cultivation and development of the rental housing market, effectively revitalize the stock of housing resources, expand the supply of urban rental housing in a strong and orderly manner, improve the policy on long-term rental housing, and gradually make rental and purchase housing equally entitled in terms of access to public services. Accelerate the construction of rental regulations to protect the legitimate rights and interests of tenants and renters. Effectively increase the supply of subsidized housing and improve the basic system and support policies for housing security. Focusing on cities with high population inflows and high housing prices, expand the supply of subsidized rental housing, and focus on solving the housing problems of disadvantaged groups and new citizens. Set aside a separate land plan for rental housing, explore the use of collective construction land and idle land owned by enterprises and institutions to build rental housing, and support the conversion of non-residential housing into subsidized rental housing.
