Mrs. Liang, who is over 40 years old, lived in a 100-square-foot subdivided house in Kwai Chung for two years. At that time, the kitchen and toilet in the home were very crowded, and she even had to pay more than 7,000 yuan in rent plus water and electricity costs every month.
Due to the poor living environment and frequent news reports about rent increases and evictions by unscrupulous owners of subdivided flats, Mrs. Leung was worried that she would encounter similar situations. She often suffered from insomnia, became nervous and had disputes with her husband.
Around February this year, at the suggestion of a social worker, Mrs. Leung applied for Tongxin Village, a transitional housing project located in Tung Tau, Yuen Long. She successfully signed the contract in April and moved in in June.
Mrs. Liang said that now she lives in a more spacious and bright unit with peace of mind, her emotions are relieved and she makes peace with her husband.
Mrs. Liang: I hope to live in public housing
Mrs. Liang and her husband now live in a two-person apartment in Tongxin Village, and the monthly rent is only 2,850 yuan.
Activities are often held in the community. She participates from time to time and signs up for excursions organized by the community. She has a friendly relationship with her neighbors.
After ushering in a bright and happy new life, Mrs. Liang's emotional problems were greatly relieved, and she no longer easily argued with her husband.
I couldn't save money before... I have a lot of homes, and the environment is very good, so new and clean, and there is a kitchen... I have time to do sports.
Mrs. Liang, a resident of Tongxin Village
Mrs. Leung recalled that the old house was only about 100 square feet, but the light was dim and oppressive, which easily caused emotional problems; there was no room for a refrigerator in the house, it was difficult to cook, and it was difficult to feel the breath of life.
In order to get rid of the old life, when he moved from Kwai Chung to Yuen Long, he spent about 5,000 yuan. He said that moving the house was very troublesome. He hoped that he would live in Tongxin Village until he went to public housing, and there would be no trouble in the middle.
Mrs. Liang also plans to take advantage of the low housing cost and save a sum of money to renovate the public housing in the future.
After that, I don’t want to move house. It’s troublesome to change (living place) in the middle. I hope to go directly to the house next time when I move house.
