At present, some college students apply for housing subsidies from enterprises. In this case, the nature of subsidies has changed, not directly given by the state, but by enterprises as employee welfare policies.

Housing subsidy is a subsidy given by the state to solve the housing problem of employees, that is, the funds originally used by the unit for building and purchasing houses are converted into housing subsidies, which are distributed to employees by stages (such as monthly) or at one time, and then employees go to the housing market to solve their own housing problems by buying or leasing.
