Background and Objectives

The Social Welfare Department (“SWD”) launches the “Pilot Programme on Community Living Room” – To Kwa Wan Community Living Room Project (hereafter referred as “the Project”) subsidised by the Community Care Fund (“CCF”) in July 2024. The Project aims to provide targeted support to households residing in subdivided units (“SDUs”), especially those with children, through provision of additional living space and extended interpersonal network, thereby enhancing their living standard and sense of belonging to the community. SWD has appointed Tung Wah Group of Hospitals as the Approved Service Provider (“ASP”) responsible for operating the Project, which provides service content encompassing the following three components:

(i) Living space: To Kwa Wan Community Living Room offers essential facilities such as shared kitchen/pantry, dining room, living room, study room for students, washing and dryer machines. To Kwa Wan Community Living Room will provide additional facilities, including children’s playing/reading corner, sports facilities, group activities space, health check facilities, music/multi-media room, bathroom, etc;

(ii) Community support: provision of homework guidance services, information and talks on various topics, such as diet and nutrition, health and sports, home safety, hygiene, first aid for student, rental issues, financial management, home repair, etc. and community resources, such as food assistance, second hand goods transfer, etc. will be provided. Referrals to appropriate community services (e.g. integrated family service centres, integrated children and youth services centres and neighbourhood elderly centres, etc.) will also be made as required; and

(iii) Care and share: The business sector and local organisations will be engaged to provide in-kind donations (e.g. aids) and volunteer services (e.g. repair of electrical apparatus, haircut, etc), among others.。

The Project, which lasts for three years, commences operation in July 2024 and will run until the end of June 2027.

 

The programme is subsidised by the Community Care Fund
