The government plans to distribute cash allowances to grassroots who have been waiting for public housing for more than three years and have not received CSSA. The amount of the allowance is based on half of the maximum CSSA rent allowance, that is, the allowance ranges from $1250 to $3,850.
The Hong Kong Concerned Subdivided Housing Platform stated that the current rental expenditure of one-person households accounts for much more than the income of households, even as much as 50% of their income. If the rent subsidy plan is based on half of the CSSA rent allowance, it is worried that the subsidy amount will be insufficient .
In addition, they pointed out that non-elderly one-person public housing applicants often had to wait for more than 10 years, but failed to meet the eligibility criteria, and questioned the unreasonable arrangements.

The whole Hong Kong concerned about subdivided housing platforms worry that the subsidy level is not sufficient to effectively support the grassroots who are subject to high rents but have an inhumane living environment, especially those whose household income accounts for more than 30% of their rental expenses.

platform believes that the subsidy amount should be set as the difference between the average rent of public housing and the average rent of private housing to compensate for the additional housing expenses of public housing waiting persons who have not been able to go upstairs for three years. And should increase the amount of one-person households.

The platform pointed out that if they fail to accept the allocation of public housing for the first time, they will not be able to continue to receive the rent allowance. Even if they choose to go up for the first allocation, the original flat will withdraw the rent and move to the new flat. , There is often a relocation period ranging from 1 to 3 months, so it is believed that the allowance period should be paid until the official arrival.
