广州公积金，新调整！

Core Points - The Guangzhou Housing Provident Fund Management Center has announced an optimization of the housing provident fund withdrawal policy to better meet the housing consumption needs of contributors [1][2]. Group 1: Policy Changes - Contributors and their spouses can now withdraw housing provident funds to pay for the down payment when purchasing new or existing commercial housing, as well as certain types of affordable housing within the city [2][4]. - The withdrawal frequency is limited to once per property purchase for each applicant, with the total amount not exceeding the down payment specified in the relevant sales contract [5][12]. Group 2: Application Process - Applicants must provide necessary documents, including the signed sales contract and identification, to withdraw funds for the down payment [6][8]. - The approval process by the Guangzhou Housing Provident Fund Management Center will ensure that the funds are transferred to the seller's account after confirming the property ownership transfer [8][12]. Group 3: Elevator Renovation Withdrawals - Contributors can also withdraw funds for the renovation of old elevators in properties they own, with a similar withdrawal frequency and limit based on the shared costs of the renovation [13][15]. - The application for elevator renovation funds can be submitted after the project completion, with a streamlined process available online or at designated service points [16][17].
