Providing affordable, dignified, and comprehensive housing support services for grassroots residents living in sub-divided units
The venture will provide accommodation matching service to 140 grassroots tenants and invite property owners or property agencies to let 21 decent flats at a reasonable rate to target beneficiaries of this project. Business owners and voluntary groups will be engaged to provide further assistance to tenants matched with a suitable flat, such as moving service, household maintenance service, and free furniture/electrical appliances matching service.
To educate the public on rental issues, the venture will provide telephone and online lease consultation services, seminars on tenants’ rights, tenant gatherings and public info street counters.
The venture will also meet with stakeholders such as the business sector, government officials, and the media to advocate for policy changes in real estate agency services.
