主席報告
Fund investment is our third stream of income and we have been doing
well so far, maintaining a balanced portfolio and an enviable record of
performance. Irrespective of how well we have been doing, over time
income from this source is to dwindle as we draw down our financial
reserve to meet project expenses.
At the moment, the Housing Society has assets valued at about HK$30
billion. Out of this sum, only HK$20 billion is available for use as some
fixed assets like our rental housing estates are in practice not realisable.
While this amount offers a buffer, it falls short of our longer-term needs
by a significant margin. Just as an illustration, even if we liquidate all our
disposable assets today, the money will only be enough to pay for the
redevelopment of a few old rental estates.
Furthering our Social Objectives
In view of the ageing population, particularly within our rental estates, we
have endeavoured to add a dimension of care to housing. Towards our
own tenants, the ‘Ageing-in-Place’ Scheme has been proven successful
and is being extended. Under the concept, common facilities in housing
estates are rendered age-friendly; and where needed, home improvement
works are carried out to individual housing units to make life easier and
safer for our aged occupants. As far as possible, we also ensure that care
services needed by the elderly, which include health and social aspects,
are available in the same estate they live in, or are delivered to the door
by our specially-trained multi-disciplinary teams.
As we integrate social and health care of the elderly into housing
management, five cross-professional teams comprising nursing,
rehabilitative care, psychological support, property management and
administration were set up. These teams are now looking after the diverse
needs of the elderly in Jolly Place where we took over the provision of
care services last year.
With the experience we had gained, the Housing Society is better
prepared to take over the same at Cheerful Court by the end of 2014,
the other housing project under the Senior Citizen Residences Scheme.
基金投資是房協的第三個收入來源，而且向
來表現不俗。我們維持均衡的投資組合，成
績令人滿意。但長遠而言，即使有好表現，
從投資所得的收入亦會日漸減少，因為房協
須動用財政儲備以支付項目發展的開支。
目前，房協的資產淨值約三百億元，但當中
只有約二百億元可動用，因部份固定資產如
出租屋邨並不能變現。雖然這數額能給予我
們財務上一些緩衝，但相對於我們的長遠需
要，仍然有一大段距離。即使今天我們能夠
全數出售所有可變現的資產，金額亦只足夠
支付數個舊屋邨的重建。
進一步實踐社會使命
鑑於人口老化，尤其在房協轄下的出租屋
邨，我們致力在房屋的範疇注入關懷的元
素。對於房協的住戶來說，「樂得耆所」計劃
證實成功，並將逐步推展。在此概念下，屋
邨的公共設施變得更適合長者使用；如有需
要，我們亦為個別年長住戶進行家居改善工
程，讓他們生活得更舒適、更安全。我們亦
盡量確保長者在其居住的屋邨得到所需的關
顧服務，包括健康及社交方面的支援，甚至
由特別培訓的跨界別團隊直接上門為長者提
供服務。
為了將照顧長者社交及健康的工作融入物業
管理當中，房協特別成立跨專業服務團隊，
由護理、復康、心理及社交支援、物業管
理，以及行政五大範疇組成。去年，我們正
式接手樂頤居的關顧服務，這個團隊現正照
顧該屋苑長者住戶的不同需要。
憑着累積的經驗，房協已做好準備，於二零
一四年底接管另一個「長者安居樂」屋苑彩
頤居。
