The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (The Council), as a social housing intermediary platform, has been actively promoting social housing since 2017. The Council has been implementing the “Community Housing Movement” and the “Modular Social Housing” projects, hence engaged different community stakeholders into the movement. Both projects make use of idle properties or lands to conduct various social housing experiments. Meanwhile, different social welfare organizations and social enterprises are engaged as service operators to incorporate a wide variety of people-based, innovative social service elements into social housing. The social housing movement initiated by the civil society aims to increase housing supply, enhance the living quality of grassroots families, and build a small community through the provision of social services to enhance the capacity and participation of residents.

After a few years of efforts on advocacy, development and operation, different social housing operators have, on one hand, acquired different experiences and, on the other, been constantly reflecting upon and consolidating their experiences. For recollecting practice wisdom, consolidating experiences and assessing the outcomes achieved, we are going to organize The Social Housing Seminar, scheduled on 29^th September 2020. The theme is “Experience of Developing Social Housing Service”. The Council has invited different operators to share and consolidate operational experience and to give reflection on innovative social housing service. Different parties are invited to promote social housing movement. The details are as follows:
