The Zhitong Finance App learned that the Hong Kong Housing Authority said that the last two simple public housing projects, new school buildings remodeled at Shun Shun Tsuen Road in Kwun Tong and Chuk Yuen Road in Wong Tai Sin, will provide a total of about 210 units and will be completed in the first quarter of next year. So far, all 13 simple public housing projects have been completed within more than 4 years, which is faster than the target of the “Policy Address” in 5 years.

After the completion of the two projects, all about 30,000 simple public housing units accepted applications. As of September, the Bureau has received more than 44,900 applications, and since some residents have moved into traditional public housing units, simple public housing units have been freed up for people in need to stay, making simple public housing units circulate.

A spokesman for the Hong Kong Housing Authority said that simple public housing is cheap in rent, has complete supporting services and a better living environment, and continues to provide sufficient housing options for families with urgent housing needs, including split unit households. The spokesperson also said that there are 13 projects spread across Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories. They are all open for application and are believed to meet the needs of different applicants.
