The demand for housing in Hong Kong is in short supply, and the waiting time for public housing continues to increase. The grassroots have no choice but to settle for sub-divided housing and endure the harsh living environment.
In the face of the current situation, the government has launched a two-year "Household Improvement Assistance Program for Low-income Residents" through the Community Care Fund to help subdivided households improve their lives.
However, the community ancestors association recently published a research report, pointing out that many sub-household households are worried that the amount of subsidized projects is too expensive, and even worried that they will be increased rent after receiving related subsidized projects.
First look at the existing problems in the homes of the residents of the nearby subdistrict ▼▼▼
The survey was conducted in the "participatory action research method", and the social association used outreach work to reach out to basic-level people such as subdivided households and cubicles.
The Social Association did not disclose the number of interviewees, but pointed out that 80% of the interviewees lived less than 150 feet. At the same time, 80% of the respondents were waiting for public housing, and 46% of them were waiting for public housing for 5 years or more.
The research report pointed out that more than 70% of respondents believe that lack of space is the most troublesome to life.
Most people think that there is insufficient space, lack of private space or privacy, up to 77%.
Among the housing issues that I most want to improve, the lack of space occupies the top three places.
The first place is the lack of storage space, accounting for 79.8%.
Secondly, insufficient space for children's activities and learning and insufficient privacy and personal space accounted for 77% and 63% respectively.
The Community Care Fund launched a two-year "Home Improvement Assistance Program for Low-income Residents" in June 2020.
The plan is to provide a one-off non-cash subsidy to allow low-income households to carry out simple home repairs, purchase furniture, and eliminate insects and lice in order to improve their living environment.
Research shows that 84.5% of the respondents received assistance from the Care Fund. Most people chose to buy or replace furniture and electrical appliances. At the same time, 85% said that they did not carry out small repairs and arrange clean home services.
The main reason for not choosing maintenance projects or pest control services is that they are worried that the cost of the project is too high and does not want to spend more than 37% of them.
It is worth noting that one of the reasons that discouraged the interviewees was that they were worried that they would be increased rent or rented out to others after handling the matter for the landlord.
Therefore, the respondents prefer the consumption behavior of buying furniture.
The Social Association recommends that the government incorporate the plan into the Care Fund's permanent assistance project in the short term, simplify the implementation form, and separate the three existing funding separately to increase funding for small maintenance and cleaning services.
In the long run, it is necessary to formulate a licensing system and a regulatory timetable for subdivided housing, gradually eliminate substandard housing, build more public housing and transitional housing, and fulfill the three-year commitment to housing.
