The enquiry hotline for Wang Fuk Court’s long-term housing arrangements commenced operation today. Members of the public may call 2129 8133 for information regarding the plan announced on February 21, under which affected owners may choose from several options.

These include the Government acquiring titles from flat owners for cash, a “flat-for-flat” arrangement, and the reservation of units under the Home Ownership Scheme (HOS), the Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme, or Housing Society projects. Owners who have sold their titles will be given priority to purchase these reserved flats.

The plan also involves the construction of new HOS flats at Chung Nga Road West in Tai Po to provide additional options for those affected.

To assist Wang Fuk Court owners in understanding the specific options available under the housing plan, the Government has established a cross-departmental engagement team co-ordinated by the Housing Bureau.

Beginning this week, the team will contact owners through the “one social worker per household” service. Owners may also contact the specific team members assigned to their household via the same mechanism.

For easy identification, engagement team members will wear light blue vests and carry identification cards. Owners are advised not to disclose personal information to strangers without a referral made under the “one social worker per household” service.
