Ballots Drawn for HKHS Elderly Housing “Chung Yuet Lau” at Jat Min Chuen
Resident Intake Expected to Start in Second Quarter of 2024

The Hong Kong Housing Society (HKHS) completed the computer ballot drawing today (18 December) to determine the priority sequence of the applicants for the 64 units of the brand new elderly housing project “Chung Yuet Lau” at Jat Min Chuen in Sha Tin.

HKHS Director (Property Management) Sanford Poon said, “One hundred transfer applications were received for ‘Chung Yuet Lau’, reflecting an eagerly response from the eligible applicants.  The first batch of residents is expected to move in in the second quarter of 2024 the soonest.  Eligible households who have successfully transferred to ‘Chung Yuet Lau’ will enjoy lifetime full rent exemption and a one-off removal allowance.  Their under-occupied units will be reallocated to other households in need, achieving the objective of optimising the use of public housing resources.”

The ballot drawing was conducted at the Elderly Lounge of Jat Min Chuen.  Upon completion, eligible applicants will be invited for flat selection from January 2024 based on the order of their priority numbers under each of the four selection categories.  The priority sequence accorded to the four selection categories are as follows:

First Priority Category Under-occupation (UO) households in Jat Min Chuen with all family members aged 65 or above
Second Priority Category UO households in other HKHS rental estates with all family members aged 65 or above
 
Third Priority Category UO households in Jat Min Chuen with all family members aged between 60 and 64
 
Fourth Priority Category UO households in other HKHS rental estates with all family members aged between 60 and 64
