Our PRH estates are grouped under four districts in Hong Kong:

Owing to the scarcity of PRH units in the Urban district, WL applicants can only choose any one from among the three non-urban districts for their future housing allocation. However, applicants who are eligible to join the Single Elderly Persons Priority Scheme, the Elderly Persons Priority Scheme or the Harmonious Families Priority Scheme and opt to live with their elderly family member(s) in the same flat may choose any district.

The Subsidised Housing Committee of the Housing Authority decided at its meeting on 21 June 2011 to allow applicants registered on the WL on or before 30 September 2009 to switch their choice to the Urban district.

General Eligibility Criteria for PRH

Families fulfiling the eligibility criteria listed below can apply for PRH. Families with elderly member(s) can enjoy certain credit in the waiting time and priority in flat allocation.
