Public rental housing for those with housing difficulties
住房困难先排公租房
There is no fee to apply. You must submit documents to the local housing authority and provide written consent for them to verify the information you provide. If any documents are missing, they will inform you of what needs to be added at once. The waiting period for housing allocation is called the “waiting queue period,” which generally does not exceed five years.
You must meet three criteria simultaneously: you must have no housing locally, or your living space must fall below the required standard; your income and assets must also be below the set limits; and migrant workers must have held steady employment locally for a minimum period as stipulated. The exact waiting queue period is announced by local authorities. This is a long-term solution that won’t provide immediate relief, but signing up costs nothing, and the earlier you apply, the sooner you may be called.

Original recommendation and evidence
16. Public rental housing for those with housing difficulties
Cost: There is no fee to apply. You must submit documents to the local housing authority and provide written consent for them to verify the information you provide. If any documents are missing, they will inform you of what needs to be added at once. The waiting period for housing allocation is called the “waiting queue period,” which generally does not exceed five years.
In plain terms: You must meet three criteria simultaneously: you must have no housing locally, or your living space must fall below the required standard; your income and assets must also be below the set limits; and migrant workers must have held steady employment locally for a minimum period as stipulated. The exact waiting queue period is announced by local authorities. This is a long-term solution that won’t provide immediate relief, but signing up costs nothing, and the earlier you apply, the sooner you may be called.
Benefit: Those who satisfy all three conditions are eligible to apply. First, they must have no housing locally or live in a space smaller than the legal minimum. Second, their income and assets must remain below the prescribed limits. Third, migrant workers must have maintained stable employment locally for the required length of time. Specific criteria are determined and published by housing authorities in municipalities and counties. Individuals placed on the waiting list are referred to as “waiting queue candidates,” and housing authorities are obligated to assign them a dwelling within the waiting queue period. (This is a nationwide framework; exact eligibility rules and rental rates are set locally, effective since 2012.)

Notes: While this is a long-term solution that won’t provide immediate relief, signing up costs nothing, and the earlier you apply, the sooner you may be called. Various other types of subsidized housing also exist locally, each with its own rules; please consult your local housing authority’s official website for details.

16. 住房困难先排公租房
成本: 申请不收费。向市、县的住房保障部门交材料，还要书面同意他们去核实你报的情况。材料不齐的，他们会一次性告诉你要补哪些。排队等房的期限叫轮候期，一般不超过 5 年。
说人话: 要同时占上三条：在本地没房，或者住房面积低于标准；收入和财产低于标准；外来务工的还要在本地稳定就业满规定年限。轮候期由当地公布。这是远水，解不了近渴，但排队不花钱，早报名早轮到。
收益: 三项条件都占上就能申请。一是在本地没有住房，或者住房面积低于规定标准。二是收入和财产低于规定标准。三是外来务工人员要在本地稳定就业满规定年限。具体条件由直辖市和市、县的住房保障部门定了公布。登记上排队名单的人叫轮候对象，住房保障部门应当在轮候期内给他安排房源（全国框架，门槛和租金地方定，2012 年起）
