The staff of the agency's services, the central inspectorate, asked shandong several times about the need for reform. In recent years, shandong province has been sorely determined, after carefully overhauling the issues raised by the central patrol unit, to extend itself, pressurize itself, completely address the legacy of a backlog of more than a decade of housing reform and launch a “self-revolution” in the housing sector。
- at the above rate, clean up the mess
The reform of the shandong housing system, which began in 1997, was the first province in the country to move housing to monetized distribution. Since the beginning of the new century, a number of new problems have emerged with regard to the renovation of houses in shandong: the old implementation was incomplete, the one-time housing fund was used to compensate for the long-term non-payment of the outstanding employees ' accounts, some employees ' housing areas exceeded the maximum amount of the outstanding contributions, irregularities accounted for incomplete housing clean-up, monetary subsidies were not in place, and some departments and units had been acquiring new housing to varying degrees of public resources。
Since 2008, the central patrol unit has conducted two visits to shandong and two visits back, three of which have provided advice on regulating the housing of cadres. The problems raised include “unauthorized changes in the nature of the house”, “the acquisition of a new house by agency cadres who do not want to return to the old house” and “the purchase of a house by city hall cadres at every move”. In response to the questions raised, shandong province has been actively engaged in the rehabilitation of housing stock。
The shandong province does not stop with the restructuring of the problems raised by the central patrol unit, but rather takes this opportunity to build on the pilot exploration process since 2013, based on the principle of “opening the main door, closing the back door and closing the side door”, and gradually to continue the reform process on the ground and to address the historical legacy。
The reform of the housing system is a rebalancing of the interests of officials throughout the province. Most of the housing stock is to be withdrawn and less paid for, which is tantamount to “slicing itself off” as a major setback. Some of the leaders considered the problems of building housing units after the renovations to be complex, and were reluctant to look back on old books; some feared that the economic downturn would increase, that fiscal growth would be difficult and that the monetaryization of housing distribution would continue to be unsustainable; and others were waiting to see what was going on。
In order to overcome the impasse, the leadership and leadership of shandong province have taken the lead in restructuring the structure, starting with the provincial cadres and then reaching the general cadres; starting with the provincial councils, provincial governments, provincial assemblies and provincial political councils, and then reaching the other provincial authorities; and starting with the provincial authorities and extending them to 17 municipalities with unprecedented determination and strength, in order to resolve the problems in their housing。
• renovation of buildings under public authority
Following the reform of the monetaryization of housing distribution, and the failure to keep pace with the supervision, some units have resumed their own construction of housing, some of which have been financed, some of which have been built cooperatively, some of which have been commissioned, some of which have been bought by a consortium, and some of which have been referred to as “the ability to cross the sea, each of which has its own capacity”, problems arise to varying degrees in the use of public power and public resources for profit。
An audit by the audit office of shandong province found that, in addition to the provincial council, the provincial people's congress, the provincial government, and the four general offices of the provincial political council, 89 provincial direct units had been rehabilitated and constructed. There are problems in the immediate sector in 61 provinces, including: public payments for construction of housing for employees, housing for the majority of the housing stock, irregular land for construction of housing for employees, construction of housing for employees in the name of affordable housing, non-payment of land concessions, urban construction support, etc., use of other funds for construction of housing, purchase of housing at prices below cost or assessed price, overstandards, over-planned construction of housing, etc. Problems also exist in 17 municipalities to varying degrees。
The audit office of shandong province has issued corrective reports to 61 direct provincial units and 17 municipalities, requiring that those who take advantage of administrative powers and affect tax deductions be paid in full by the purchasers; that the majority of the housing stock must be cleared; and that land concessions and related tax charges be paid for irregular land use. As at 29 june, a total of rmb 4,155 million had been collected for the renovation of departmental sector units and 17 municipal construction workers ' housing audits, which are expected to result in the collection of more than rmb 5 billion after all the renovations have been completed; a total of 282 housing units have been evacuated throughout the province, correcting the irregular use of 115 swing space units。
In the future, shandong province has proposed that the party bodies should not engage in fund-raising, that public resources should not be used to subsidize the purchase of housing, and that other financial resources should not be diverted to cover the housing costs of cadre workers。
— flexible handling of uncomforts to death
The legacy of the past is largely due to the accumulation of problems and the persistence of contradictions. In the case of the “remote” in the reformation of the house, shandong has been able to clear up the problem, and the supplementary payment has been made, and the complex interests in the reform have been reconciled。
At the time of the change, the housing unit was occupied by individuals and two public housing units owned by individual families. This issue has not been completely resolved, despite repeated clean-up. In keeping with the principles of the housing reform policy, shandong province proposes that, for two publicly owned housing units, any one that does not meet the required size criteria or one that does meet the required size criteria but which is difficult to clear because of the housing needs, a market-based approach be adopted, whereby the market value of the market price is assessed at 1. 2 times the value of the dwelling. At present, the vast majority of workers have paid their contributions, with 2502 employees paying a total of 476 million yuan in additional housing。
In the case of workers who worked before the end of 1997, the unit in which the change was made is compensated with a lump-sum housing fund in accordance with the length of service. Reimbursements for employees who have not purchased a dwelling and the portion of the excess of the purchase price from retirees are temporarily on hold. For a variety of reasons, this has not been done, and the views of the cadres are high. From may 2013, shandong began to cash the one-time housing change fund bill, and at the end of the year, over 588 units of more than 20,000 workers were disbursed, amounting to over 300 million, closing the 16-year check。
The shandong housing reform policy provides for a certain amount of maintenance funds to be collected for public housing sold, to be stored by the financial pool and used for repairs and improvements, etc. Owing to poor management systems, funding for maintenance is difficult, with low usage and long-term “sleeping”. On the other hand, a significant proportion of property services for publicly owned housing are still provided by the unit, creating a “hidden benefit”. In 2014, the province of shandong transferred a total of rmb 370 million from special maintenance funds for the rehabilitation of 117,000 provincial flats to the jenan dependencies. At the same time, the term “silent supplement” is changed to “discretionary supplement” whereby monthly property allowances are paid to employees, no further payments or reimbursements are made by the units; daily management and maintenance of the employee's residential areas are placed on tender for the selection of specialized property services。
With regard to the lack of specific monetary compensation for workers who have never been involved in a change of home and who have not benefited from any concessionary purchase of housing, shandong province has determined that one-time compensation is to be paid to unoccupied workers. There is also a mechanism for long-lasting subsidies, which have been paid on a monthly basis since 2014. In this regard, there are concerns about insufficient financial resources. The head of the shandong provincial government stated that “only a few fewer projects and a few general administrative expenses could save money”. At present, the provincial units have approved 14,000 homeless workers, with compensation of 593 million yuan and per capita compensation of 409,000 yuan. The young people of many agencies and institutions are clapping their hands。
