中国致力于保障特定群体的居住权

尊敬的主席，我代表中国人权研究会就中国致力于保障特定群体的居住权主题进行发言。

居住权是一项基本人权，是人类生存所必需的基本权利。中国坚信，住房是保障和发展人权的坚实物质基础。住房保障是各级政府的重要责任。

住房保障是全面小康的重要目标，也是实现居住权的重要体现。经过多年的住房发展，中国城镇人均住房建筑面积由1949年的8.3平方米提高到39.8平方米，农村居民人均住房建筑面积达到48.9平方米。中国持续完善住房保障体系，为特定群体提供住房保障。2019年，中国已建成世界上最大的多层次住房保障体系。“十三五”以来，全国累计建设各类保障性住房和棚改安置住房8000多万套，为2亿多贫困人口、低收入者改善了住房条件。中央财政安排专项补助资金，改造790万户、2568万的农村危房，为农村贫困户、低保户、分散供养特困人员、贫困残疾人家庭提供安全适用的住房。“十四五”规划期间，中国将继续增强住房保障能力，促进实现全体人民“住有所居”。

China strives for secure and affordable housing for Vulnerable and Disadvantaged Groups
   

Respectful Chair, I am speaking on behalf of the China Society for Human Rights Studies on China's efforts to strive for secure and affordable housing for vulnerable and disadvantaged groups.

Right to housing is one of the basic human rights and fundamental to human existence. China firmly believes that housing is a solid material foundation for protecting and developing human rights. Governments at all levels, have a responsibility to ensure every citizen’s access to secure and affordable housing.

Affordable housing is the basic target to build a moderately prosperous society and critical to the fulfillment of right to housing. After years of housing development, urban per capita housing construction area in China has increased from 8.3 square meters in 1949 to 39.8 square meters, and rural per capita housing construction area has reached 48.9 square meters.China has accelerated the establishment of an affordable housing system to guarantee access to housing for vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. In 2019, China has built the world's largest multi-level affordable housing system. Since the "13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020) ", more than 80 million sets of affordable housing and temporary relocated apartment (TRA) have been built, improving housing conditions for over 200 million poor and low-income people. The central government has allocated special subsidy funds to renovate 25.68 million rural dilapidated houses for 7.9 million households, providing safe housing for rural poor, including low-income households, people living in extreme poverty, and poor families with disabilities. During the "14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25)" period, China will continue to improve the housing system and increase affordable housing for more people, with the targeting of "meeting the housing needs of all people".
