Annual Analysis of Average Waiting Time for Public Rental Housing in 2023
To enhance information transparency, the Housing Department has conducted an analysis of the housing situation of general applicants for PRH in 2023. The analysis shows that in recent years, the number of cases that were housed to flats in the New Territories exceeded those that were housed to flats in Urban district or Extended Urban district. Hence, the general applicants waiting for flats in the New Territories would be housed more quickly. Taking applicants who are in the front part of the waiting list as an example, the waiting time for PRH applicants for flats in the New Territories is generally shorter than those for Urban or Extended Urban by a year.
In addition, the number of general applications on the waiting list has reduced by 4 300 as compared with last year. One of the major reasons was that the number of applications allocated with PRH has increased in recent years. Over the past two years, there was an annual average of about 20 000 general applications allocated with PRH, which had risen by over 20% from the yearly average of 16 200 in the previous five years (from 2017 to 2021), that has helped clear some of the general applications that had waited for a longer time.
