The Housing Bureau (IH) is reevaluating its policies for the future direction of public housing, the bureau said in a written response to an inquiry from lawmaker Leong Pou U. However, the bureau did not provide details, saying they would be announced later. In his inquiry, submitted to the Legislative Assembly, Leong called on the government to disclose details of its updated housing policies, arguing that changing economic conditions and residents’ needs have prompted a shift in priorities. He noted that the government has suspended several public housing projects in recent years, including four residential buildings planned for Zone A of the reclaimed land, and has also postponed plans to introduce a new type of public housing known as “sandwich-class housing.” The proposed housing category would serve middle-income residents whose earnings exceed the eligibility threshold for affordable housing but are insufficient to purchase homes on the private market.
