Of the 301,000 public housing supply targets, 210,000 are public housing or green housing units; 91,000 are other subsidized sale units. The figure is also the same as last year.
However, only one-third of the public units can be supplied in the first five years, and most of the remaining units will be launched in the next five years.
Chen Fan explained that the government has done a lot of land supply and has done a lot of effort to find land. It will speed up the reduction of "land building" time, hoping to provide public housing to the public as soon as possible.

In the next 10 years, 40% of the houses in the northern metropolitan area will be available for occupation.
Chen also pointed out that the Housing Authority will continue to launch redevelopment projects, including the redevelopment of 4 factory buildings, and in accordance with the recommendations of the "Policy Address", rebuild Ma Tau Wai Village and Sai Wan Village, together with surrounding land, to build public housing on precious land in the urban area.
As for the redevelopment of Tai Hang Sai Village, the URA has applied to the Town Planning Board to relax the plot ratio and will be able to provide more units.

As for private housing, Chen Fan said that the government will prepare about 170 hectares of land in the next 10 years and provide the market with land for the construction of 100,000 units through land sales and railway property tenders.

Regarding the non-profit housing social enterprise established by the developer New World earlier to promote subsidized housing, Chen Fan said that he hopes to maintain contact with relevant organizations later.

Asked when to "say goodbye to subdivided housing" Chen Fan: After 10 years, the housing supply will be satisfied and the waiting list for public housing can be alleviated
Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, once mentioned the housing problem in Hong Kong, saying that in the future, there will be no more cage homes and subdivided houses, and young people can say goodbye to the problem of "housing difficulties."
Chen Fan was asked if he would include the goal of "Farewell to sub-divided housing" in Changce. He said that Changce estimates the public and private demand in the next 10 years, including the increase in new households, households affected by redevelopment, people living in unsuitable housing, and The migrant population, etc. are evaluated.
He emphasized that the supply can meet the demand for 430,000 units. After the housing supply is met in 10 years, the waiting list for public housing is believed to be alleviated.
The reporter asked again that the Long Strategy report showed that more than 127,000 households in Hong Kong live in unsuitable homes, and the number has hit a record high during the administration of Lam Cheng's administration. How can the situation be resolved.
Chen Fan said that the most fundamental solution is to build land and to find land to build houses. There is no way to find a way to arrange for the households concerned to temporarily live in more suitable dwellings in exchange for time to find more land.
Chen Fan continued that if the land supply is abundant, he hopes to meet the people's expectation of "living in a big way, living well".
