According to the forecast as at March 2025, the estimated total public housing production by the Housing Authority (HA) and the Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) in the five-year period from 2025/26 to 2029/30 is about 166 600 flats, comprising about 110 100 public rental housing/Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme (PRH/GSH) flats and about 56 500 other subsidised sale flats (SSF).
As compared to the last quarter, due to the progress change of individual projects, the overall five-year production (2025/26 to 2029/30) was increased by about 6 200 flats.
Relevant information of public housing projects to be completed in 2024/25 and 2025/26 to 2029/30 is at Attachment.
The yearly public housing production is mainly determined by the land supply each year from the Government for public housing development as well as the progress of individual projects, and cannot be assumed as the average of the total five-year production. The actual completion of individual projects may be affected by factors such as site constraints, inclement weather, progress of contractors, labour and materials supply of the construction industry, external factors and the need to comply with the latest buildings requirements, etc. The yearly housing production is therefore subject to adjustments accordingly. We will continue monitoring the progress of projects to facilitate timely completion.
