\n\t\t\t\t\tThe Task Force on Transitional Housing has been established under the then Transport and Housing Bureau to proactively assist and facilitate various short-term initiatives proposed and implemented by the community\/ non-government organisations (NGO) with a view to increasing the supply of transitional housing to 20,000 in 2020. To facilitate such transitional housing initiatives, the Funding Scheme to Support the Transitional Housing Project by NGO has been set up to alleviate the poor living conditions and the long waiting time for public housing of the low-income groups.\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\tIn response to the Government initiative, Henderson Land Development Company Limited initiated the largest transitional housing scheme in Hong Kong by lending to Pok Oi Hospital a site in Kong Ha Wai, Yuen Long at a nominal rent of one dollar for 7 years. The project covers a total area of 480,000 square feet, including the aforesaid private site (97.4%) and a small portion of government land (2.6%), targeted to serve the low-income groups who have been waiting for public housing for no less than 3 years or are currently living in inadequate housing. Henderson has assisted Pok Oi Hospital in project planning, site formation as well as project management; Pok Oi Hospital, on the other hand, is responsible for project construction and non-profit-making operation.\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[vc_empty_space height=”20px” woodmart_hide_large=”0″ woodmart_hide_medium=”0″ woodmart_hide_small=”0″ woodmart_hide_extra_small=”0″][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”top” row_reverse_mobile=”0″ row_reverse_tablet=”0″][vc_column_inner el_class=”box-line-shadow” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1657573626555{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}”]\t\t\n\t\t
