The HA's Subsidized Housing Committee endorsed the establishment of an annual quota for non-elderly one-person applicants and a points system to accord priority to applicants of higher age on 29 September 2005.
|
| | | | 1. | The total monthly income and current net assets value of the applicant must not exceed the limits laid down by the Housing Authority.
| | 2. | The applicant has to meet all appropriate eligibility criteria applicable to ordinary families.
| | 3. | The priority of non-elderly one-person applicants on the WL will be determined according to the points received. The more points the applicant gets, the earlier applicant will be offered a flat, upon fulfilling other PRH eligibility criteria.

Points System
Points will be allotted basing on an applicant's age when his / her application is registered. Under the Points System, zero point will be given to applicants aged 18 and three points will be added for every year of age. Applicants aged 19 will get three points. Those at 20 will get six points and so forth. Applicants who are 59 of age will be allotted 123 points.
For applicants living in PRH, including rental housing operated by the Hong Kong Housing Society, 30 points will be deducted.
Applicants will be given an additional point for one more month on the WL.

Addition of Family Members
Non-elderly one-person WL applicants may apply for addition of family members in order to be qualified as an ordinary family on the WL. Half of the waiting time as a non-elderly one-person applicant will be credited to the application, up to a maximum of 18 months. 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.
|
Family Applicant Switching to Non-elderly One-person
Family applicants switching to non-elderly one-person applications will be subject to the Points System immediately. The applicant's age at the time of submitting the original family applications will form the basis for calculating the points. Their accumulated waiting time can be carried in full to the one-person application category.
|
Flat Allocation
Allocation of public housing units is handled strictly in accordance with the priority of the applications on the WL and the applicant's choice of district or based on the quota set and the points scored by non-elderly one-person applicants, depending on the nature of the WL applications. One-person flats will be allocated to eligible applicants. However, due to limited resources, applicants cannot insist on the allocation of specific type of one-person flats. Non-elderly one-person applicants who reach the age of 60 by the time of allocation may be processed under the Single Elderly Persons Priority Scheme. The age limit for allocation of Housing for Senior Citizens units has been lifted. Non-elderly one-person applicants may also be offered a one-person Housing for Senior Citizens unit.
