Description of Project

The project supports three-person to five-person ethnic minority (EM) families with low income and urgent or special rehousing needs but receive no support from transitional services. Targeted counselling services are provided based on a case-by-case study of the situation of individual families. Diversified activities are organised to promote mutual-help and establish a social network among tenants. Activities are also organised in collaboration with other social communities to provide tenants with various learning opportunities to enhance their skills, develop their potentials to be self-reliant and enrich their ability to live in the community. Furthermore, the project helps tenants develop a mutual-help culture and a saving habit. With the objective of promoting cultural exchange, tenants are encouraged to participate in different activities together with local tenants in other social housing projects.
