Project Detail
Over the three years, the project aims to provide 500 co-living units for 1,000 low-income families across Hong Kong, who currently live in cramped and unsafe units while they await public housing. As the intermediary of the project, HKCSS is tasked with finding and renovating flats, and engaging social welfare agencies to allocate the flats to tenants, collect rent, and provide support services.
The cost of inspecting appropriate housing units and renovation are fully supported by The Community Chest of Hong Kong.
