The Chief Executive, Mr Lee Ka-chiu, will announce his first "Policy Address" on October 19.
The Public Housing Federation announced today (June 6) its policy expectations for housing and land, suggesting that the Government set a timetable for resuming the "three-year upstairs" plan. People who are under the housing income limit have one more housing option.
The Federation also suggested that the government could try out the concept of "housing social enterprise" and make good use of the developer's land to build subsidized housing.

The Public Housing Federation suggested that the Housing Society could re-launch Type B rental housing estates, so that people who exceed the HA's public rental housing income limit have multiple options.
In addition, they suggested that apart from renting out the youth hostel project, half of it could be set aside for sale.
Chiu Kwok-wai, chief executive of the Public Housing Federation and a member of the Housing Authority, explained that there are currently 1,000 Type B housing estates in the Housing Society, but so far there are no new units.
The income limit for Type B housing estates is higher, and the monthly household income limit for a two-person family can reach 30,000 yuan.
He suggested that the Housing Society could increase the supply of Type B housing estates if conditions permit, so that more dual-career families could be eligible.
Advocating the restart of privately-owned HOS housing
Man Yu-ming, chairman of the Public Housing Federation, suggested that the government could try out the concept of "Housing Social Enterprise" and make good use of the land held by developers to build subsidized housing. units are available for purchase by the public.
Legislative Council member Leung Man-kwong explained that this concept is different from the current land sharing, which is packaged in private projects, with a certain proportion of public and private housing.
On the contrary, "social housing enterprises" are dominated by public housing.
Advocate for subsidized sale housing to set minimum size
The PRH also hopes that the Government can set a floor area limit for subsidised sale housing to avoid the emergence of nano-units.
Liang Wenguang suggested that the minimum 280-square-foot limit set by the current land sale terms for private properties can be referred to, and promoted to subsidized sale of housing.
However, he understands that the "increase in public housing" may not be implemented across the board at present, so he hopes that it can be piloted in new development areas, such as the northern metropolitan area.
Zhao Guowei pointed out that although "department stores should serve hundreds of customers", he emphasized that nano-units will not help reduce housing demand, because if the units are too small, they are worried that families will definitely want to branch out and move out in the future, which will generate another housing demand, which will eventually become a "Zero Sum Game".
