BOOSTING HOUSING RESOURCES FOR THE ELDERLY
During the year, the Housing Society strived to develop housing projects integrated with service support for seniors in different social-economic groups, and advocating the applications of gerontechnology, with such efforts aimed at helping them to stay at home for longer periods while still improving their holistic wellbeing.
Given the acute land shortage in Hong Kong, we need to look for a viable path in creating suitable homes for seniors. To achieve our goals, we adopted a multi-pronged approach to enhancing housing supply for elderly people. On the one hand, we attempted to make elderly housing an integral part of housing developments. Take Ming Wah Dai Ha Phase I Redevelopment as an example, it offers elderly units and accessible units alongside standard rental units to create a community hub that supports ageing in place and intergenerational living.
On the other hand, we continue to develop new developments under existing elderly housing schemes, we are expecting a new development under SEN at Lee Kung Street in Hung Hom, which will be our third SEN project.
In tandem, we proactively seek opportunities to create housing resources for the elderly by optimising existing resources, as in the development of the extension of Jat Min Chuen with the remaining domestic gross floor area of the rental estate for the development of purpose-built elderly flats.
During the year, housing supply for the elderly received a boost with the additions of 48 elderly units and 24 accessible units in the newly completed Ming Wah Dai Ha Phase I Redevelopment. These units incorporate universal and barrier-free design that facilitate a more liveable environment for seniors.
The elderly housing development pipeline to be delivered in the next few years comprises the following:
增加長者房屋資源
本年度，房協致力發展能夠為不同經濟群體 長者提供支援服務的房屋項目，並提倡透過 樂齡科技協助他們即使長時間居家仍能改善 整體健康狀況。
鑑於香港土地嚴重短缺，我們需要發掘可行 的途徑為長者創建宜居住所。為實現目標， 我們多管齊下致力增加長者房屋供應。一方 面，我們嘗試將長者房屋作為房屋發展不可 或缺的一部分。以明華大廈第一期重建項目 為例，該項目除提供標準單位以外，亦設有 長者單位和無障礙單位，以創建支持「居家安 老」及跨代共居的綜合社區。
另一方面，我們持續在現有的長者房屋計劃 下發展新項目，於紅磡利工街興建中的新項 目是房協第三個「長者安居樂」項目。
同時，房協積極透過優化現有資源，尋求拓 闊長者房屋資源的機會。例如利用乙明邨尚 餘的住宅總樓面面積發展專為長者而設的單 位。
本年度，新落成的明華大廈第一期重建項目 提供四十八個長者單位和二十四個無障礙單 位，令長者房屋供應進一步增加。這些單位 結合通用和無障礙設計，為長者提供更宜居 的環境。
將於未來數年落成的長者房屋發展項目如下:
