Social Responsibilities
社會責任
Social responsibility has been embedded in the work of the Housing
Society since our founding in 1948 when we began to provide
affordable housing for the people of Hong Kong. Over the following
decades, we have expanded that mandate by exploring housing
solutions that meet the needs of all levels of society.
Although we continue to build affordable housing projects, our social
mission today also covers a wide range of issues, from providing
scholarships for young people to bringing housing and healthcare
services to the elderly, from sharing our housing expertise at industry
events to encouraging staff participation in volunteer activities. We
also carry out environmental initiatives that enhance the sustainability
of our housing projects, the housing industry and the community.
Supporting the Industry
In 2005, we set up the Housing Society Academy (HSA) to promote
professional development of the housing industry by way of experience
sharing, sponsorships, student internships and scholarships, as well as
professional research.
During the review period, we participated in knowledge and
experience sharing sessions with local visitors and delegates from the
Mainland and Overseas. They included representatives from the
Chartered Institute of Building (Hong Kong), students from the MSc in
International Real Estate programme jointly organised by The Hong
Kong Polytechnic University and Zhejiang University, members of the

自一九四八年成立以來，房協就以社會責任
為己任，為本港市民提供可負擔的房屋。
過去數十年，房協不斷研究配合社會不同階
層需要的房屋方案，以擴闊服務的層面。
在繼續興建可負擔房屋項目的同時，我們現
在的社會使命涵蓋更大的範疇，從向年輕人
頒發獎學金、為長者提供房屋及健康護理服
務、透過業界活動分享房屋經驗，以至鼓勵
員工參與義務工作。房協亦積極推動環保，
令我們的房屋項目、房屋業界以至整個社會
得以更持續發展。
支持業界
我們於二零零五年成立「香港房屋協會專業
發展中心」，以經驗分享、贊助、學生實習、
獎學金，以及專業研究等方式推動房屋業界
的發展。
在過去一年，我們與本地訪客、內地及海外
的考察團交流知識和經驗，當中包括英國特
許建造學會（香港）的代表、香港理工大學與
浙江大學所合辦的國際房地產碩士學位課程
學生、北京住房中心的委員、香港上海浦東
聯會的代表、廣州大學及北京建築大學的教
