  • Taiwan will offer 1,500 social housing units across four cities starting in August, with monthly rents as low as $145 USD.
  • The initiative aims to support young families and those with children, offering affordable housing options.
  • Applications will be accepted from August 14 to September 14 for units in New Taipei, Nantou, Tainan, and Kaohsiung.

Taiwan is set to launch its third quarter social housing initiative, making 1,500 units available across four municipalities starting in August. The program, themed "Support for Building Families, Encouraging Child-Rearing," prioritizes affordable housing for young couples and families with children.

Monthly rents for these units will start as low as NT$4,660 (approximately $145 USD), making them significantly more accessible than market-rate housing. The initiative covers six social housing projects located in New Taipei, Nantou, Tainan, and Kaohsiung.

The National Housing and Urban Renewal Center is managing the tender process. Beyond supporting families, the program also emphasizes comprehensive care and protection for all age groups and vulnerable populations. Applications for these much-needed housing units will be open from August 14 to September 14.
