The public maintenance fund refers to the expenses that need to be paid in advance after buying a house for the future maintenance of public facilities in the community.

The housing provident fund is a housing savings fund paid by the unit and its employees. It is used for the purchase, construction, renovation, and overhaul of self-occupied housing by employees. It can also be used when employees retire, retire, or completely lose their ability to work and terminate their labor relationship with the unit.

When the household registration is moved out or settled abroad, all the housing provident funds paid will be returned to the individual employees.

As can be seen from the above complaint, the public housing maintenance fund definitely does not include the housing provident fund. The former is managed by the community property, and the latter is managed by the national provident fund.
