Transitional Housing Projects
The Government has been promoting the development of transitional housing in the past few years. By making better use of short-term vacant land and premises, we aim to provide short-term accommodation for those in need. The Government has identified land for providing over 21 000 transitional housing units, exceeding the original target of 20 000 units. Among which, the Housing Bureau's "Funding Scheme to Support Transitional Housing Projects by Non-government Organisations" was set up in June 2020, with the funding amount increased to the current $11.6 billion following two rounds of funding injection.
