Chapter 3498

The first people's livelihood project is the construction of residential security housing. This year, the Baozhou Municipal Government plans to add no less than 500,000 square meters of security housing such as affordable housing and low-rent housing, ensuring no less than 30,000 people. In fact, Baozhou City has always done a very good job in this regard. Over the past few years, the area of new residential security housing they add each year has never been lower than this figure.

The second is regarding education. This year, the Baozhou Municipal Government plans to renovate the city's dangerous school buildings once again, striving to have no more dangerous school buildings in the city before the snow season arrives this year. In addition, it will increase scholarship subsidies for poor students. This policy will benefit tens of thousands of poor primary, middle, and high school students in the city.

The third is to strive to realize the connection of roads, electricity, and water to every village within five years. Baozhou City's development has been quite fast over these years, but because Baozhou City's terrain is complex, there are still quite a few mountain villages like Niutouyu. Therefore, more than half of the mountain villages still do not have roads, electricity, or water. And these three connections are also necessary conditions for mountain villages to get rid of poverty, so Su Xinghui attaches great importance to them.

The fourth is to increase the protection and scope of urban and rural medical insurance, striving to include everyone in the city in the medical insurance system within five years, and to implement medical assistance for some major and serious illnesses. The scope of assistance includes major illnesses such as malignant tumors or aplastic anemia, renal failure (uremia), acute stroke, severe heart disease, severe hepatitis and complications, AIDS, heavy metal poisoning, severe mental illness, and other diseases determined by municipal and county-level people's governments.

The fifth is to increase the support for rural five-guarantee households and to build rural five-guarantee support service institutions in each village.

The sixth is to strengthen the construction of cultural and sports facilities in the city, including libraries, gymnasiums, reading rooms, theaters, etc., striving to add more than ten of the above-mentioned cultural and sports facilities in 2005.

The seventh is the improvement of the city's environmental sanitation, including urban cleanliness, increasing the construction of public facilities such as parks, strengthening the construction and improvement of road flower beds and street trees, and strengthening the construction of garbage transfer stations and public toilets, etc.

The eighth is to increase the professional skills training for laid-off workers, migrant workers, and the disabled. Such training is all free. Striving to conduct free professional skills training for more than 20,000 laid-off workers, migrant workers, and the disabled within the year, and helping them find suitable jobs.

The ninth is to increase poverty alleviation efforts for poor rural areas, broaden the sources of income for poor rural areas, and vigorously develop special planting and special breeding industries to effectively increase farmers' income.

The tenth is to increase the construction of wind power and photovoltaic power generation, especially in poor rural areas, striving to let those poor rural areas use wind and solar power through government subsidies, changing the face of poor rural areas.

Currently, more than seven months have passed in 2005, and the completion of these ten people's livelihood projects is quite good.

Su Xinghui has always been very concerned about the completion of these ten people's livelihood projects. He also often inspects various parts of the city to see how these people's livelihood projects are being implemented. He does not want the people's livelihood projects he promoted to eventually become face projects and image projects that have not been implemented.

Under his emphasis, all departments in the city do not dare to be negligent. The vice mayors in charge and government functional departments also attach great importance to the implementation of these projects. Plus, the municipal government's appropriations have always been in place in a timely manner, so these people's livelihood projects have basically achieved the goal of completing half the tasks in half the time.

For example, in the construction of affordable housing and low-rent housing, Baozhou City has always been unsparing, ensuring the land supply for affordable housing and low-rent housing. Those construction companies do not dare to play any tricks and are all honestly carrying out construction. And after the last incident, the Housing Management Bureau does not dare to play any tricks on the qualifications of applicants. These security housing units can basically be allocated to the people who need them most.

For example, regarding dangerous school buildings in education, when Su Xinghui was the vice mayor in charge of culture, education, and health a few years ago, he attached great importance to this matter. At that time, he allocated funds to repair and reinforce the city's dangerous school buildings. However, repair alone is not enough to completely solve the problem of dangerous school buildings. Therefore, now that the city has money, he has allocated funds again to thoroughly renovate the city's dangerous school buildings.

After this renovation, the problem of dangerous school buildings in the city can basically be solved. After all, the last repair, reinforcement, and renovation have already eliminated many hidden dangers. After this time, it will be able to let the principals of the city rest assured for a few years.

Scholarships for poor students will change the fate of countless poor students, so that they will not be unable to afford school after being admitted, which gives them a fair opportunity.

And the project of connecting roads, electricity, and water to every village is a huge project. How many hundreds of mountain villages are there in Baozhou? Many of these mountain villages are located in deep mountains with steep terrain. How easy is it to connect all these villages with roads, electricity, and tap water?

But no matter how difficult it is, this project must be completed. Su Xinghui plans to complete this project within five years because he does not want so many people to have not enjoyed the fruits of Baozhou City's economic construction, and he does not want so many people to still not have roads, water, and electricity in the 21st century.

This year, Su Xinghui ran to dozens of those poor mountain villages to check the completion of the village-to-village project, and he is relatively satisfied with the overall situation.

Connecting roads to every village does not mean connecting highways or first-class roads. As long as village-level roads are connected so that the common people can safely get out of the mountains, the financial burden is actually not particularly large, and the cost per kilometer is only two or three hundred thousand.

In terms of connecting electricity to every village, the Provincial Power Company's support for Baozhou City is still very large because there is a Hu Quanyou there, and his support for Baozhou City has always been unsparing.

Connecting tap water to every village is one of the projects Su Xinghui attaches the most importance to because he knows that many poor mountain villages find it difficult to drink clean drinking water, especially since Baozhou has had many mines opened in previous years, and the heavy metal pollution of the mines has polluted a large amount of groundwater. The groundwater in many villages is undrinkable.

Although Tongfu Environmental Protection Technology has been treating heavy metal pollution for these years, this treatment project is difficult to completely restore the soil and groundwater without more than ten years of effort. Therefore, these poor mountain villages are in urgent need of clean drinking water.

Therefore, the municipal tap water company is now focusing on installing tap water in areas with serious heavy metal pollution so that the common people in these areas can drink clean and safe water.

As for urban and rural medical insurance and medical assistance, this is also a very important project. Chinese people now cannot afford to live, cannot afford to die, cannot afford to be old, and cannot afford to be sick. Many poor households are impoverished because of major or chronic illnesses because the treatment costs for these major and chronic illnesses are too high.

For example, if you have cancer or uremia, the treatment costs are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. Just imagine, how many working-class people in this era can afford such treatment costs? And families with medical insurance in this era are also in the minority, so the phenomenon of becoming a poor household once sick is quite common.

In this case, the government's security function is needed. The government must increase the coverage of medical insurance and increase the assistance for families suffering from major illnesses.

This year, in addition to expanding the coverage of medical insurance, the main work Su Xinghui did was to include AIDS, tuberculosis, heavy metal poisoning, and other diseases in the scope of free treatment. For other major illnesses, after verification, a major illness subsidy can also be issued to provide living subsidies to the patients' families.

Of course, those who can receive subsidies must also be truly difficult families. For this reason, relevant departments must also increase the audit intensity and absolutely do not allow major illness subsidies to be issued to families that are not difficult.

Most of the rural five-guarantee households are also impoverished because they are widowed, lonely, or have serious illnesses. In the past, the subsidy issued to five-guarantee households each year was only more than three hundred. Now Su Xinghui has raised this standard to more than five hundred and included it in the scope of the minimum living security. Not only is there living security, but their medical expenses are also basically free.

The improvement of Baozhou City's environmental sanitation and the construction of cultural and sports facilities can also enhance the happiness of Baozhou City residents, which is also very important.

Before, when Su Xinghui was the vice mayor of culture and education, he put a lot of effort into this construction. For example, the construction of village-level reading rooms and national fitness facilities was very strong. Now these two items have basically been completed. This year, this people's livelihood project has been strengthened again, which has greatly improved the appearance of Baozhou City.

As for the other people's livelihood projects, they all focus on poverty alleviation and prosperity for the poor population. Of course, letting the rural population get rid of poverty is not simply giving money. The so-called "giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish." They must have ways to increase income and increase income through reasonable and legal channels.

Among these ten people's livelihood projects, six are related to rural areas, which also represents Su Xinghui's consistent attention to rural areas. Because Su Xinghui has worked in rural areas for many years, he knows that farmers' lives are the most difficult, but the number of people is the largest. He hopes to improve the living standards of Baozhou rural areas through his own efforts.
