First of all, affordable housing itself is the welfare housing provided by the government, and it is the housing provided by the government for low-and middle-income families with housing difficulties. Generally, it consists of low-rent housing, affordable housing, policy rental housing and directional resettlement housing. This type of housing is different from the commercial housing whose price is completely formed by the market.

Families applying for affordable housing need to fill in the Checklist for Families Applying for Affordable Housing and submit relevant supporting materials. Meet the conditions of low-cost housing security, at the time of application, it shall also provide relevant certification materials that meet the conditions of low-cost housing, and the housing security management department of the subdistrict office (Township People's Government) shall make corresponding marks and explanations in the application form for affordable housing.

Therefore, affordable housing must meet the relevant application conditions, and once it does not meet the occupancy conditions, it can be required to withdraw according to law. Affordable housing will not be forcibly allocated, but people in need will take the initiative to apply. In extreme cases, no one applies or does not meet the occupancy conditions, and the natural housing is vacant.
