Abstract: Abstract Young faculties are the major drive for college’s and university’s development. However, many of them are accompanied with housing difficulties due to short work experience and little wealth accumulation. The essay carries out a case study on Shanghai Songjiang University Town and aimed at identifying young faculties’ housing problem through a survey and quantitative analysis. Through the survey, we can find the young faculties have a relatively low income and a relatively poor living condition. Despite that all the respondents living in the school dormitory are young faculties; the main body of market rental housing is also young faculties. Young faculties have a low housing satisfaction. On the basis of the survey, this article suggests that rental housing for faculties can be established through the cooperation of university and local government at school concentrated area such as Songjiang University Town according to the existing public rental housing policy. Meanwhile, this article argues that financial institutions should promote the incremental repayment model to relieve the pressure of young faculties in the earlier period of repayment and improve their house-purchasing ability.
