The HK government has decided to increase the number of transitional housing projects substantially to provide a total of 10,000 units within the next three years to relieve the pressure of families living in unpleasant conditions and those waiting for PRH for a long time. These units will be built on temporarily vacant government land and public facilities, as well as land lent by private developers, the Chief Executive Carrie Lam said in her 2019 Policy Address.
Moreover, the provision set aside by the government for transitional housing will increase from the $2 billion announced earlier to $5 billion, fully manifesting the tripartite partnership of the community, business sector and the government.
