The New Taipei City Government has promoted the establishment of social housing through a range of different sources since 2019 to reduce housing burden and address the integration of multiple ethnicities and the issue of population aging in the city. Social housing is rental only and the rent is less expensive compared with the market price. Social housing in New Taipei integrates social welfare, inclusive spaces, energy conservation, and an array of services to create a livable environment for all ages. A total of 10,000 buildings of social housing are expected to be built by 2023. In 2017, a trial program of youth and senior citizen cohabitation project was launched, where the youth and senior citizens exchange ideas, learn from, and support each other despite having no family ties.
