Chief Secretary Eric Chan said the new space – the fifth such facility in the territory – is fully equipped with amenities such as a kitchen and massage chairs. He also pointed out that social workers will provide homework assistance there.
Officiating at the opening ceremony, Chan expressed the hope that families would visit the community living room regularly.
“I hope this additional living space can become a second home for our friends living in subdivided flats, transforming their homes into just bedrooms,” he said.
“Through spending their daily lives here, I believe it will greatly help both their living needs and emotional well-being.”
Chan said the 2,700-square-foot area is expected to serve 330 subdivided unit tenants and attract around 50,000 visits a year.
The new space along with the four existing community living rooms, will support more than 2,000 subdivided flat households and handle 320,000 visits annually.
The chief secretary added that the success of community living rooms is based on cooperation between the government, the business sector and non-profit organisations.
