SAME SEX COUPLES ELIGIBLE FOR TAIPEI CITY SOCIAL HOUSING|北市率先開放註記 同性伴侶可租社宅

Last year, the Taipei City government began to allow partners of the same sex to register as couples, and now the city's urban development bureau is about to amend regulations so that same sex couples will be entitled to apply for social housing. According to the bureau, any two persons registered as a couple, regardless of their gender, will be able to apply once the amendments are complete, which is scheduled in May. If everything goes well, more than 200 same sex couples currently living in Taipei City will be able to apply for social housing by the end of this year. TRANSLATED BY：JEFF CHANG
