WAITING OR NOT ELIGIBLE FOR PUBLIC RENTAL FLAT
CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY A FLAT
ANOTHER OPTION FOR FAMILIES

FAMILIES down on their luck have been able to get a roof over their heads through a year-old Housing Board scheme to find them interim housing.

More than 600 families from a list of 1,830 have found rental homes for the short term in flats in older districts, which are slated for demolition.

Many of the tenants are families in financial difficulties, like Mr Muhammad, a logistics supervisor and sole breadwinner who could not keep up with payments on a four-room resale flat he bought in 2005.
