The orientation of rural immigrant workers in cities, the social security system and the housing supply policies related to them, will be found to be the primary factors influenced government policy. It emphasizes that the housing policy should be set up on the measures of housing supply and demand of rural immigrant workers in Chinese cities. And it will try to construct the countermeasure system that produced by theoretical model. The result shows that the housing demand of immigrant workers should be considering with the supply and security system of urban residents' housing together.
