Housing is an important factor for new citizens to integrate into the city, and the implementation effect of new citizens' housing policy has a profound impact on the effective solution of new citizens' housing problems. Based on the theory of policy network, this paper analyzes the role and function of multiple actors in the new citizen housing problem, and explains the policy network logic of the new citizen housing problem. The research found that: the new citizen housing problems exist in the central and local government housing cost sharing mechanism fuzzy, the central fiscal transfer direction and the population flow direction "departure", the government horizontal Department bureaucratic barriers are difficult to crack, the public interest and commercial interests between local governments and housing market subjects are difficult to balance, the local government and the employing enterprise housing responsibility elusion, and the new citizen and the original resident resources dispute. According to the research, we should strengthen the multi-agent supply and multi-channel security of new citizen housing, and comprehensively improve the relevant supporting policies of new citizen housing to achieve the goal of new city residents living.
