Transitional housing has become as one of the new housing initiatives since 2018. A number of transitional housing projects have been proposed and being implemented thereafter. Projects include social housing in privately owned vacant residential buildings, using “Modular Integrated Construction” method to construct transitional housing on vacant government lands and privately owned lands, converting vacant school premises to transitional housing and using hotels and guesthouse as transitional housing. And more and more non-governmental organizations (NGOs) participate into transitional social housing projects. Each project has various challenges, affecting their design and operation.

Representatives of NGOs undertaking transitional housing projects are invited to share their experience from preparation, site study, and local consultation to project design, construction management and housing operation, and discuss the users’ requirement, design principle and specification of transitional social housing.
