The applicant must be 58 years of age or over, and must have attained the age of 60 and have lived in Hong Kong for seven years and is still living in Hong Kong at the time of flat allocation.
The applicant has to meet all eligibility criteria applicable to ordinary families.
Addition of Family Member A single elderly applicant may apply for addition for family members to become qualified as an ordinary family applicant on the WL. Half of the waiting time accumulated in the one-person line, up to maximum of three years, will be credited to the family application. After adjusting the waiting time, a registration date equivalent to that of a family application will be computed. This registration date will serve as a reference for the subsequent allocation and application of the relevant public housing application policies.
Allocation Allocation of public housing flats is handled strictly in accordance with the order of priority of the applications on the WL and the applicant's choice of district. Either Housing for Senior Citizens or one-person flats will be allocated to the eligible applicants. Waiting time will vary with applicant's choice of district and our housing supply. Those who opt for the urban district normally have to wait longer.
Two or more elderly persons who undertake to live together upon flat allocation are eligible to apply. For unrelated members, they are required to sign the application form together.
