In the last year’s Policy Address, the government proposed to ‘study on Tenancy Control of Sub-divided Units’ and ‘to provide cash allowance for eligible applicant households which have been queuing for public rental housing for over 3 years (Rental allowance)’. The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (the Council) has always been concerned about the housing problem of the grass-roots, and hopes to make feasible suggestions for alleviating the life pressure of grass-roots residents living in private housing. In view of this, in order to promote the exchange of opinions on the above two policies in the sector, the Council would hold a roundtable meeting on ‘Rental Allowance and Tenancy Control of Sub-divided Units’ on December 16.
