Application Form for Transitional Housing
(Category C)
Note 1: Before submitting the application form for transitional
housing (for “Category C tenants” only), the applicant must
complete the
application form for “Category C tenant” verification
for review by any of the six District Service Teams (DSTs)
commissioned by the Housing Bureau (HB) to prove their re-housing
needs. If the applicant is affected by alteration works in SDUs
under the BHU regulatory regime, he/she must also obtain a
declaration from the SDU owner/operator on early termination of
tenancy agreement due to the SDU alteration works in accordance
with the Basic Housing Units Ordinance (Cap. 658)
before the above review to facilitate DSTs’ processing of their
application for verification.
If the owner refuses to issue the above declaration to the
tenant, DSTs and the operating organisation of the project will
exercise discretion on a case-by-case basis depending on the
specific circumstances of the case, and the documentary proof
(such as water/electricity/towngas bills and tenancy agreement,
etc.) provided by the tenant to prove his/her residence in SDU. Upon completion of the above review, the applicant will be
provided with a DST Reference Number for completion of the
application form for transitional housing. If needed, the relevant
DSTs can be contacted through the information on the following
website:
https://www.hb.gov.hk/eng/policy/housing/policy/tenancy_control/dist_serv_teams.html.
“Application Status Enquiry” is only applicable to the applications processed by the "TH-E" platform of transitional housing. For enquiry, please call 3611 8156.
(The application form applies to projects funded by Funding Scheme to Support Transitional Housing Projects by Non-government Organisations ONLY)
