抓紧建立住房保障体系。总的指导原则是：

We will promptly establish a system for ensuring housing for people. The general guiding principles for this work are as follows.

(1)坚持从我国人多地少的基本国情出发，建立科学、合理的住房建设和消费模式。大力发展省地节能环保型住宅，增加中小套型住房供给，引导居民适度消费。

1) Taking into consideration the fact that China has a large population and relatively little land available for building housing, we need to foster a scientific and rational model for housing development and home ownership. We will vigorously work to build environmentally friendly buildings that conserve energy and land, increase the supply of small and medium-sized condominiums, and guide people to obtain housing they can afford.

(2)坚持正确发挥政府和市场的作用，政府主要制定住房规划和政策，搞好土地合理供应、集约利用和管理，重点发展面向中低收入家庭的住房。高收入家庭的住房需求主要通过市场调节解决。

2) We must ensure that the government and the market both play their due roles. The government's role is mainly to formulate plans and policies for housing and ensure that there is an appropriate supply of land, ensure that land is used intensively and oversee land use. Priority will be given to development of housing for low- and middle-income families. Demand for housing among high-income families will be met largely through the market.

(3)坚持加强对房地产市场的调控和监管，规范和维护市场秩序，促进房地产业持续稳定健康发展。

3) We need to strengthen regulation and oversight of the real estate market, standardize and maintain order in the market and promote sustained, steady and healthy development of the real estate industry.

今年要采取四项措施：

The following four measures will be adopted this year:

First, we will improve the system of low-rent housing, accelerate construction of low-rent housing, expand the supply of housing, and step up construction and tighten management of affordable housing to ease the housing difficulties of low-income urban residents. A total of 6.8 billion yuan will be allocated from the central government budget for the low-rent housing program this year, 1.7 billion yuan more than last year, and local governments will also increase funding in this area. In addition, we will work energetically to improve the living conditions of rural migrant workers in cities.

二要增加中低价位、中小套型普通商品住房供应，建立多渠道投融资机制，通过多种途径帮助中等收入家庭解决住房问题。合理调整城市土地供给结构，增加中小套型住房用地。

Second, we will increase the supply of low- and medium-price, small and medium-sized condominiums, establish a mechanism for making investments and raising funds in various ways, and help middle-income families meet their housing needs through a variety of channels.

Third, we will use a combination of tax, credit and land supply measures and improve the housing accumulation fund system to increase supply of reasonably priced housing, curb demand for high-end housing and prevent overheating in housing prices.
