The government announced earlier the goal of increasing the number of transitional housing units to provide a total of 15,000 units in the next three years. The Government subsequently applied for funding from the Finance Committee of the Legislative Council and proposed to create a directorate position in the Housing Department to oversee the operation of the Transitional Housing Task Force.

The Finance Committee met today (13th) to discuss, but the final application was rejected.

The Government proposes to create a position in the Housing Department designated as the Deputy Head of the Task Force under the Transport and Housing Bureau, with a term of office until March 31, 2025 to oversee the operation of the Transitional Housing Task Force, such as implementing support for non-governmental organizations to implement transitional Subsidy schemes for housing projects, as well as other non-governmental agency recommendations.

However, the proposal had 18 votes for each and was negative.
