The Taipei City Department of Urban Development today announced that in response to the central government's "NT$30 billion expanded rental subsidy program," the Taipei City Government has also implemented the "Taipei Happiness Rent - Private Rental Subsidy Plus" measure for single youth, married youth families, and child-rearing families. There are currently no quota limits, and citizens are encouraged to apply early.
The Department of Urban Development stated that the "Taipei Happiness Rent - Private Rental Subsidy Plus" is divided into three categories: single youth, married youth families, and child-rearing families. Citizens can only choose to apply for one of these subsidy measures.
For "single youth," considering the difficulties faced by young people starting out, in addition to the central rental subsidy, single youth under 40 years old who are registered and rent in Taipei City can receive an additional NT$1,000 from the city government, on top of the central monthly rental subsidy of NT$3,600. If the application is successfully approved, the monthly rental subsidy can reach NT$4,600.
Furthermore, for "married youth families" under 45 years old, the Department of Urban Development said that the application restrictions for married families in Taipei City have been relaxed. Regardless of the length of marriage, as long as they meet the qualifications for married youth families under this plan, they can receive an additional NT$2,500 per month from the city government, on top of the central monthly rental subsidy of NT$7,500. If the application is successfully approved, the monthly rental subsidy will be NT$10,000.
According to the press release, for "child-rearing families" with children aged 0 to 12, the Taipei City Government will provide an additional NT$1,000 per month for one child, with no upper limit on the number of children, allowing multi-child families to live happily and securely in Taipei.
The Department of Urban Development stated that after citizens' applications are approved, both the central and Taipei City rental subsidies can be received simultaneously. The application period is from today until March 31, 2027.
The Department of Urban Development stated that citizens can apply online through the "Taipei City Rental Subsidy Website," or obtain application forms free of charge at the Department of Urban Development's Nanmen Office or various district offices, then fill them out and mail them by registered post to the Department of Urban Development's Nanmen Office.
