Transitional Housing — Pok Oi Kong Ha Wai Village
Project Background
The Task Force on Transitional Housing has been established under the then Transport and Housing Bureau. To facilitate the increasing supply of transitional housing to 20,000 in 2020, the Funding Scheme to Support the Transitional Housing Project by NGO has been set up to alleviate the poor living conditions and the long waiting time for public housing of the low-income groups.
Henderson Land Group (“Henderson Land”) initiated the largest transitional housing project in Hong Kong by leasing to Pok Oi Hospital a site in Kong Ha Wai, Yuen Long at a nominal rent of one dollar. The project covers a total area of 480,000 square feet, including the aforesaid private site (97.4%) and a small portion of government land (2.6%), targeted to serve the low-income groups who have been waiting for public housing for no less than 3 years or are currently living in inadequate housing. Henderson Land has assisted Pok Oi Hospital in project planning, site formation as well as project management; Pok Oi Hospital, on the other hand, is responsible for project construction and non-profit-making operation.
Project Features
There are 1,998 residential units in the Project, including 1,124 units for 1-2 persons, 824 units for 3-4 persons and 50 units for 5-6 persons or accessible units; it is expected to accommodate approximately 6,000 residents. During the operation, it is expected to provide transitional housing for nearly 40,000 residents. Besides providing basic amenities, medical services and social services, Pok Oi Hospital will unite the residents to build an inclusive community, to establish a mutual support network, and to create a harmonious and caring neighbourhood.
