为解住严重宅荒 美联邦政府要盖10万户平价宅 来源:经济日报 9/02/2021 在美国房价持续高涨之际,白宫官员表示,美国政府为纾解严重住宅荒,将采取一系列立即可实施的步骤,以现有经费和权力,在未来三年兴建、销售10万户平价住宅。 路透引述官员说法报导,这套计划最快1日宣布,将聚焦于扩大对个人和非营利机构销售房屋,同时对大型投资人买房设限。第2季全美各地每售出六户住宅,就有一户被投资大户买走。 美国房屋需求在新冠肺炎疫情爆发初期激增,反映民众为居家办公和学习购置更宽敞的房子。但待售屋不足和供应链瓶颈把房价推得更高,租金行情跟着水涨船高,加重家庭财务负担。白宫官员说,全美平价住宅估计短缺多达400万户。 白宫官员表示,美国总统拜登(专题)已提议,斥资逾3,000亿美元增建200万户平价住宅,这项措施是3.5兆美元基础建设投资案的一部分,正在国会审议中。但拜登希望推动立即可行步骤。 这套新计划将涵盖乡村与都会地区的住宅建案,重点摆在平价房市,希望能协助房屋自有率偏低的有色人种族群。 此计划将由美国住宅与都市发展部(HUB)部长法吉(Marcia Fudge)宣布,具体行动由该部、财政部及房贷机构房利美(Fannie Mae)与房地美(Freddie Mae)等联邦监管机构共同规划。“两房”合计占全美11兆美元房贷市场的一半。其中,一大关键步骤是重启曾由财政部与HUB合办但在2019年结束的“风险分摊计划”,该计划让各州住宅金融机构能扩大提供低利贷款,促进兴建平价住宅。 此计划也将提高组合屋及二至四户多户型不动产的供应量,希望透过房地美扩大融资达成目标。同时也将采取行动,限制对大型投资人销售一些由联邦住宅管理局(FHA)提供担保的不动产。 拜登政府另打算与各州和地方政府合作运用现有联邦资金,并协助减少排他性分区(exclusionary zoning)等阻挠提高住宅供应量的做法。 Source White House tackles housing shortage with plan for …
