(Central News Agency reporter Wu Rui-chi, Taoyuan on May 3rd) The Taoyuan City Government has self-funded an indigenous rent subsidy for the 115th fiscal year. The Housing Development and Urban Renewal Department officially launched a 'rolling application' mechanism starting April 1st, where eligible applicants can receive up to NT$4,000 per month in rental assistance. Applications will be accepted until the allocated number of households is exhausted.
The Taoyuan City Housing Development and Urban Renewal Department issued a press release today stating that according to central government regulations, indigenous people who own a home in their original tribal areas are unable to apply for the Ministry of Interior's rent subsidy. However, many indigenous people have actual rental needs due to working in urban areas. To address this, the city government has self-funded an indigenous rent subsidy. Starting last year, application conditions were further relaxed: the original requirement for a distance of 30 kilometers between the owned home and the rented place was reduced to 20 kilometers or more to qualify. This is expected to benefit approximately 40% more indigenous residents.
The Housing Development and Urban Renewal Department explained that the subsidy program for the 115th fiscal year was originally open for applications uniformly in October last year, with disbursements beginning in January of this year. Considering that some indigenous residents were unable to apply within the deadline and that there is still budget availability for the program, adhering to the original intention of caring for indigenous people, it was decided to reopen the application channel and adopt a rolling application method. Any indigenous citizen registered in Taoyuan City who meets the eligibility criteria can apply.
The Housing Development and Urban Renewal Department pointed out that citizens must prepare an application form, copies of the household registration certificate for the applicant and their spouse, a copy of the applicant's postal savings passbook cover, and a rental contract. They must also provide relevant documents such as proof of income and assets for the entire household within one month prior to the application date. The city government reminds that the subsidy is exclusive, meaning applicants or their family members cannot receive more than two types of housing resource subsidies. Detailed application regulations can be found on the Housing Development and Urban Renewal Department's official website. (Edited by Chen Jen-hua) 1150503
