[Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development: The next step will be to support the use of housing provident funds for renting, purchasing, repairing and maintaining houses] On September 18, Zhang Xuetao, director of the Real Estate Market Supervision Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, said at a press conference of the State Council Information Office that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the scope of withdrawal and use of housing provident funds has been broadened, and the withdrawal situations have increased from 6 to 9. Among them, decoration of houses and payment of property fees that often occur in people's daily lives can be withdrawn and used. In the next step, the role of the housing provident fund will be further brought into play to support renting, purchasing, repairing and maintaining houses, so that the housing provident fund can serve the entire life cycle of housing consumption.
