Estate Management Advisory Committee
Following a successful trial run in eight estates in 1995, we have extended the EMAC scheme to all our rental housing estates since April 1996.
Objectives
The EMAC is an estate-based committee with tenants' participation. Its objectives are:
| 1. | To provide a dedicated and representative forum for the estate Housing Manager or Property Service Manager to communicate with and consult tenants on estate management matters, so as to gain tenants' understanding and support in the implementation of management policies. |
|
2. |
To provide tenants with a greater say in estate management matters, and to strengthen the partnership between tenants and housing staff. The EMAC provides a formal avenue to involve tenants in public housing management and to further decentralise estate management to local staff. |
| 3. | To provide an opportunity for us to strengthen our contact with tenants and to enhance communication with them. |
| 4. | To strengthen tenants' sense of belonging to and collective responsibility for the well-being of the community through participation in estate management matters. |

Partnering Functions with NGOs
To further promote community building and neighbourliness, the Housing Authority decided in July 2009 to invite Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) to organise partnering functions with our EMACs. Each EMAC is allowed to use up to 30% of the EMAC funds for organising community building activities in collaboration with the NGOs.
