CENTRAL NEWS AGENCY
(Central News Agency reporter Gao Huachen, Taipei, 6th) The Ministry of Interior's National Land Management Agency announced that as of the end of April this year, rental subsidies have been approved for over 830,000 households, and an efficient system has been established, making reviews generally smooth in most counties and cities. For individual counties and cities where review progress lags, local governments should increase review personnel or optimize procedures to ensure the rights and interests of the public.
Media reports indicated that several councilors in Taichung City received many complaints from people who had waited a long time for rental subsidies, and the living pressure of renters had not been relieved. The Taichung City Urban Development Bureau responded that Taichung's application volume is the highest in the country, and last year, due to central government system issues, the burden of review operations increased. They have already dispatched additional personnel for reviews and will continue to accelerate the completion of case reviews.
The National Land Management Agency stated in a press release this evening that to alleviate the burden on renters, the Ministry of Interior's National Land Management Agency has actively promoted the "NT$30 Billion Central Expanded Rental Subsidy Program." As of the end of April this year, the number of approved cases has exceeded 830,000 households.
The National Land Management Agency said that since 2025, the rental subsidy program has been handed over to local governments for acceptance and review, with the central government serving as the backer for system development and fund allocation. To cope with the massive application volume, an efficient "Housing Subsidy Scoring and Verification System" has been established, achieving automatic cross-departmental data integration of household registration, finance and taxation, and land administration information.
The National Land Management Agency stated that review operations are currently smooth in most counties and cities nationwide, and local governments have not reported systematic stagnation issues. Moreover, this review system can significantly simplify the public's application process and has functions for automatic asset verification and additional subsidy eligibility, effectively replacing cumbersome manual verification operations in the past.
The National Land Management Agency pointed out that if subsidy delays occur due to a large number of cases in individual counties and cities, the local implementing agencies should actively take measures such as hiring additional temporary review personnel or flexibly adjusting staffing to comply with the legal requirement of completing reviews within three months of acceptance, ensuring that subsidy funds can be linked and disbursed to the public on time.
The National Land Management Agency emphasized that the central and local governments are partners in the rental subsidy policy. The central government will continue to dynamically optimize system performance and provide technical support, but the administrative execution capability at the review end still relies on local governments to implement. Regarding suggestions from local areas, while the National Land Management Agency maintains an open attitude to continuously fine-tune the system, it urges local agencies not to shift administrative efficiency issues to the system mechanism.
The National Land Management Agency said it will continue to supervise counties and cities with slower review progress, implement various subsidy distribution tasks, and ensure that renters nationwide can equally and promptly enjoy the government's good intentions of care, protecting the housing rights and interests of the people.
