The HKHS Exhibition Centre (HSEC) and the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups co-organised a “Guided Tour Training Workshop” for Young Ambassadors (YA) to enhance their understanding of the housing development in Hong Kong, and the roles and mission of the Housing Society as a “housing laboratory”.

HSEC will also provide the YA with opportunities to lead guided tours in the future. This allows them to learn and grow, as well as develop their communication skills and leadership abilities, enabling them to become the future pillars of Hong Kong.

In light of an ageing population in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) has embarked on different elderly housing projects for over 20 years and rolled out the Aging-in-Place (AIP) Scheme in rental estates to advocate the concept of “Ageing in Place”. To help the elderly live an independent and self-reliant retirement life, HKHS is sparing no efforts in promoting gerontechnology.

This year, HKHS is organising the Gerontech Competition again where the scope of the Tertiary Student category has been expanded to both tertiary and university students, thereby encouraging more of the younger generation to design elderly-friendly products through creative ideas and the application of technology and gerontology. The Competition also aims to promote an age-friendly community and inject new impetus into the gerontechnology industry.

The Competition consists of two rounds. Participating teams will first understand the theme of the Competition by taking part in various activities, followed by submission of preliminary design. Shortlisted teams from Round 1 will proceed to Round 2, in which they will receive advice from professionals and take part in elderly visits to learn more about the needs of the elderly for enhancing the practicality of their entries.

After the Ceremony, the winners, together with the volunteers of the Housing Society Academy Alumni Club, walked the talk by visiting the elderly tenants of Jat Min Chuen, sending them love with gift bags that bore the winning artworks as Easter gifts.

A lot of seniors had been isolated with friends and neighbours with services and activities suspended during the epidemic. Organised by Housing Society Community, the “Harmonic Community Rummikub Fun Day” was held to give the elderly an opportunity to exercise their minds while having fun with their neighbours.

The Housing Society's "Chung Yuet Lau" at Jat Min Chuen (JMC) will be the first elderly housing project in Hong Kong constructed using steel "Modular Integrated Construction" (MiC). The new units are designed to facilitate "ageing in place". The project also features age-friendly facilities so as to provide a more suitable living environment for elderly residents.

To promote the concepts of "Cross-generation Harmony" and "Happy Community", HKHS launched a Hoarding Beautification Competition in October for the project of "Chung Yuet Lau", encouraging members of the community to illustrate the harmonious neighbourhood at JMC and its special features through creative drawings.
