在网上查到这一句话:
到2004年底,全区还房欠账38万平方米,有2万人租房生活,有的拆迁已经几年,全家还挤在临时搭建的窝棚里。当时,整个南充市拖欠还房将近100万平方米。
我觉得“全区还房欠账38万平方米”可以这么理解:这个区还要为拆迁户修建38万平米的房子”
拆迁户households or units relocated due to building demolition

试译:380,000 sqaure meters will be constructed for those relocated due to building demolition

Thank you, franksf!
agree Huijun Suo : Actually this is really a debt owed by the local government to the relocated households, so the sentence had better be modified to: the district government still owe 380,000 sq. m. of rehousing space, or just change "will be" to "need to be"
