The Home & Youth Affairs Bureau today announced the list of operating organisations selected to provide services for the second-term District Services & Community Care Teams.

The organisation selected will provide services to the teams until September 30, 2027.

The bureau listed operating organisations for 455 care teams across all 18 districts, after the Home Affairs Department and its 18 District Offices made the selections.

To ensure service continuity and leverage established service arrangements from the first term, District Offices first invited existing operating organisations to consider continuing their services.

With respect to the three new sub-districts, as well as individual organisations that were unable to continue their services for various reasons, District Offices invited previously shortlisted organisations to submit proposed service plans. 

Secretary for Home & Youth Affairs Alice Mak said the services provided by the first-term care teams had won wide acclaim from the public.

“I hope that the second-term care teams will continue to leverage the experience gained from the first term and build on the established local networks to provide more in-depth and better caring services to enhance people's sense of satisfaction and well-being.”

The bureau said all first-term care teams had met or surpassed the service requirements in accordance with key performance indicators. 

By end-August, the teams had visited some 580,000 elderly households and other households in need, provided about 89,000 instances of basic home or other support services, and organised some 45,000 district activities.
