In the past few years, the Hong Kong government and various sectors have been paying close attention to the housing needs of grassroots communities. They have not only emphasized increasing quantity, speed, and efficiency but also focused on improving quality and creating a sense of happiness and care in housing developments. Barcelona, Spain, is a Caring City, and as a city that cares for vulnerable groups, the local government has been actively providing supports in housing supply and community support for low-income families, homeless individuals, elderly residents, and caregivers. Last year, the Hong Kong Council of Social Service organized a study tour titled "Study Tour on Supportive Housing Models for Different Target Groups and Caregiver Centers in Barcelona, Spain." By participating in an International Social Housing Festival and visiting various housing projects, the study tour aimed to understand how the government of Barcelona, Spain, supports and cares for vulnerable groups in the community and housing sector. Representatives from the study tour, including Mr. Lai Kin Kwok, Senior Lecturer at St. Francis University, Mr. Yu Long Ting, Senior Officer of St. James' Settlement, Ms. Chui Pui Yan, Community Organizer of the Society for Community Organization Limited, and Ms. Yang Pui Yin, ...

In last 5 years, HKCSS has been at the forefront of social housing development launching two significant projects: The Community Housing Movement Project and the Modular Social Housing Project since 2017 and 2019 respectively in order to support the Government to tackle issues of unaffordable and indecent housing environment of the grassroots.  These projects aim to provide short-term relief to meet the housing needs of vulnerable groups and improve their community lives in their respective residential districts. This conference aims to explore how housing design and social programs can enhance the well-being of residents, particularly low-income families with children, and the elderly. We are inviting local and overseas guest speakers to share their best practices in social and public housing, as well as their experiences in implementing housing projects. Their experience and forward-looking views will be invaluable to the Hong Kong’s social and public housing development. We hope the seminar can provide a platform for overseas relevant parties and the audiences to exchange experience, research and knowledge on supporting services for social and public housing in Hong Kong. Morning session : Conference Theme : Asia Pacific housing development trend for enhancing the holistic health or well-being of residents, particularly for ...

We are inviting the new service operator for the Trackside Villas social housing project.  It has been implemented for 3 years under the Community Housing Movement which ended in 2020.  As a social housing project, it remains in operation and aimed at not only meeting the temporary housing needs of the grassroots without support of public rental housing, but also enhancing their individual capacity, and strengthening their community network. Through the provision of social housing, tenants are empowered to live independently in the market or move to the public rental housing after the end of a tenancy. There are 185 social housing units located at Tai Po Kau for operation. The flat size is around 27 to 47 m2. The lease term is 3 years. The tentative move-in date will be around July, 2023. Now a service operator is invited to help in two parts: (1) allocate and manage 51 flats (Remark: the remaining units are managed by the Hong Kong Housing Society instead), and (2) provide community social services to all households living in these 185 flats. Agencies interested in visiting the site may contact us for further arrangement.  NGOs and social enterprises interested in providing innovative social housing services and/or ...
