BUSINESS OVERVIEW
業務概覽
CONTRIBUTINGTOASUSTAINABLECOMMUNITY 共建可持續社區
The Housing Society is dedicated to serving the community and has long been a devoted supporter of sustainable development in Hong Kong. To achieve this, the Housing Society allocated over HK$76 million during the year to support social initiatives. These included transitional housing projects, talent development and environmental protection initiatives, as well as various community care programmes, with the goal of fostering a harmonious and cohesive society and building a better future for Hong Kong.
SETTING BENCHMARKS FOR SOCIALLY SUSTAINABLE HOMES
When it comes to the sustainability of homes, accessibility in the built environment is a factor of consideration as people may experience some form of disability in their life cycle. It is also essential that living spaces are future proof in order to meet the evolving needs of tenants’ mobility.
In this regard, we have been providing homes with universal design (UD) and barrier free access (BFA) provisions of various degree to accommodate needs of all people regardless of age and ability. The latest example is the Ming Wah Dai Ha Phase I Redevelopment, which comprises elderly units, accessible units and adaptable units with UD and BFA design to ensure freedom of movement for seniors and people with mobility issues.
In an effort to build better and socially sustainable homes, we commissioned a feasibility study during the year to examine, review and enhance the accessible and adaptive design taking account of planning considerations, updated legal regulatory framework and international best practices.
房協致力服務社區，一直支持香港的可持 續發展。為此，房協於本年度撥出超過 七千六百萬港元支持不同的社區項目，包括 過渡性房屋項目、培育人才、保護環境措 施，以及各類社區關懷計劃，我們冀望藉此 促進社會和諧發展並加強凝聚力，為香港創 造更美好的未來。
樹立可持續發展居所的基準
在房屋可持續發展方面，無障礙居住環境是 重要的考慮因素，因居民均有可能在生命週 期中遇上行動不便的情況。因此，居所的設 計必須考慮到老化過程中在活動能力方面的 變化。
因此，我們一直提供具備通用設計和無障礙 設施的房屋，滿足不同年齡和能力人士的各 種住屋需要。以最新的明華大廈第一期重建 項目為例，該項目包含採用通用設計和無障 礙設施的長者單位、無障礙單位和可改動單 位，確保行動不便的長者及其他住戶可出入 自如。
為創建更宜居和符合社會可持續發展趨勢的 房屋，我們於本年度進行可行性研究，並結 合規劃考慮的因素、最新法規監管框架和國 際最佳實務對無障礙和可改動設計進行評 估、檢討及改進。
