policy
Since 1987, the Housing Authority has implemented the "Housing Subsidy Policy for Public Housing Tenants" (commonly known as the "Rich Tenants Policy"), reducing housing subsidies to tenants who no longer need subsidies, so as to encourage rich tenants to move out of public housing units and ensure the rational allocation of public housing resources. Tenants who have lived in public housing for 10 years or more (including interim housing tenants) must declare their family income to the Housing Authority every two years.
Undeclared tenants have to pay double the net rent/licence fee plus rates. As for households whose household income exceeds the specified income limit, they have to pay half or twice the net rent/licence fee plus rates. The relevant income limits will be reviewed by the Housing Authority once a year.
According to the policy of maintaining reasonable allocation of public housing resources, tenants who pay double rent are required to declare their assets every two years. Tenants who fail to declare their assets or whose assets exceed the limit must move out during the one-year temporary residence period and pay a temporary permit fee equal to twice the net rent plus rates or market rent, whichever is higher.
In 2010/1/there were about 23,000 well-off public housing tenants, accounting for 3.5% of public housing tenants. In that year, 770 sets were recovered through relevant policies.
name
The word "village" in public housing estates in Hong Kong is a variant of "village" with the same pronunciation, and most of the names of housing estates are suffixed with the word "village" (except a few such as Healthy Village in North Point and Zhenshanmei Village in Matouwei), but sometimes it is written as "village" in the street.
