The
HA determines and implements public housing policies within the policy
framework set by the Government Long Term Housing Strategy. Through
our executive arm, the Housing Department (HD), we plan and build
public housing for both rent and sale to almost half of the population
of Hong Kong, and we also manage housing estates and commercial centres
developed by us. As at 31st March 2001, 583 100 households (27.5%
of Hong Kong's families) lived in public rental housing managed by
us. A further 354 600 families (16.7%) lived in their own homes, which
they bought through our various subsidised home ownership schemes.
As at 31st March 2001, our housing stock included:
 |
1
