Affordable and Decent Housing for All
In today’s society, many low-income families and elderly people living alone in Hong Kong reside in various types of housing. To align with the HKSAR Government’s efforts to address the "subdivided flats" issue and help these groups improve their living environments, China Overseas Charity Fund has launched two initiatives: Manage Happiness in a Concerted Effort – Bidding Farewell to Subdivided Housing and Repair for Ten Thousand Homes. Specifically, Manage Happiness in a Concerted Effort – Bidding Farewell to Subdivided Housing aims to help residents of subdivided flats better understand "transitional housing" and "simple public housing", raise awareness of these new housing options among various stakeholders, and enhance their willingness to apply for such housing 麻豆影视. Meanwhile, Repair for Ten Thousand Homes provides housing and electrical appliance maintenance services exclusively for grassroots families. These services include installing grab bars for the elderly, replacing water pipes, repairing electrical boxes and windows, with the goal of improving the safety and comfort of their daily lives. Through the joint efforts of these two initiatives, China Overseas Charity Fund aspires to create a safer and more comfortable living environment for Hong Kong residents.
