Chief Secretary Carrie Lam visited four families living in two Sheung Wan flats under the Light Home Scheme today.
The flats are on Wing Lee Street and Shing Wong Street.
The scheme is run by Light Be, a self-sustainable enterprise operating at its own cost, allowing owners to use their residential property to help single-parent families in need.
Most Light Home flats have two or three bedrooms with a shared living room, kitchen, bathroom and other basic facilities. They are leased to single-parent families under a co-tenancy arrangement.
The scheme has provided over 30 Light Home flats since its launch in 2012, benefitting 160 people from 60 families.
The Government is working to donate another 40 flats to the scheme. The flats will be turned into Light Housing to benefit more needy families.
