HONG KONG HOUSING AUTHORITY
The Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) is a statutory body established in April 1973 under the Housing Ordinance.
The HA develops and implements a public housing programme which seeks to achieve the Government's policy objective
of meeting the housing needs of people who cannot afford private rental housing.
Approximately 30% of the Hong Kong population is now living in public rental housing units. The HA plans, builds, manages and maintains different types of public housing, including rental housing estates, interim
housing estates, and transit centres. In addition, the HA owns and operates some flatted factories and ancillary commercial and
other non-domestic facilities. The HA also supports the Government's policy in providing subsidised home ownership flats to qualified persons.
The Housing Department (HD) is the executive arm of the Hong Kong Housing Authority, which is a statutory organisation tasked to develop and
implement a public housing programme to help the Government achieve its policy objective on public housing.
