Housing Bureau provides free accommodation support to residents affected by fire incident

Housing Bureau provides free accommodation support to residents affected by fire incident 
     The Housing Bureau would like to clarify some misunderstandings once again. Media reports have consistently stated that victims affected by the fire incident only have a few months of rent-free period after moving into transitional housing before they are required to pay rent. The spokesman of the Housing Bureau pointed out that such statements are false.
 
     The spokesman reiterates that, in consideration of the extremely emergency situation of the residents affected by the fire incident, special arrangements have already been made earlier by the Housing Bureau to provide accommodation support to those affected residents moving into transitional housing or other above-mentioned projects. The affected residents may stay with full rent exemptions. In other words, if needed, the affected residents can stay for a longer period of time. The Government will continue to support the affected residents in terms of accommodation, and the residents in need do not have to worry about the relevant rental expenses or the duration of their stay.
 
     Affected residents who would like to stay in the transitional housing under the Housing Bureau may call 3611 8482. Affected residents who would like to stay in the units in dedicated rehousing estates flats, “T-Home” projects and rental estates under the HKHS may call 2839 1393 for enquiries. For enquiries on interim housing and transit centres of the HD, members of the public may call 2658 4430.

Remarks by SLW at media session regarding facilitation measures for voters of 2025 Legislative Council General Election 
Reporter: How does these Outreach Polling Stations benefit the elderly voters?
 
Secretary for Labour and Welfare: It is the first time we set up Outreach Polling Stations in three destinations in Hong Kong. This one in Kwu Tung is the biggest one. Alice (the Permanent Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Ms Alice Lau) and I visited this polling station this morning. The operation and the whole procedure are very smooth. We spoke to elderly people as well as workers here, all of them expressed great satisfaction with the arrangement. They are very happy with the convenience provided to them. It’s saving them time.
 
     For those who are on wheelchairs, it is a hugely easier journey. Instead of traveling out and then going back to homes, they only have to take the lift on their wheelchairs, just take them a few minutes to complete the whole procedure of voting. So it’s a very smooth and successful operation. Thank you very much.

(Please also refer to the Chinese portion of the remarks.)
