The Housing Authority (HA) today announced that a new round of Green Form Subsidised Home Ownership Scheme (GSH) flat sales will be open for applications from 8am on July 17 to 7pm on August 6.
The round includes a total of 2,576 new GSH flats, including flats at Wang Chi Court in Kowloon Bay, resale GSH flats which were first put up for sale under the scheme in previous rounds, and a new batch of recovered Tenants Purchase Scheme flats.
Wang Chi Court offers flats with saleable areas ranging from about 193 sq ft to about 466 sq ft. Large flats, for which there is greater demand, will account for more than a quarter of the total number of flats.
Priced for sale at 60% of assessed market values, the flats in Wang Chi Court will be sold for about $1.15 million to $3.49 million.
The HA said an extra ballot number will be given to applicants who failed to purchase a flat during GSH 2022 or GSH 2023.
It added that Public Rental Housing (PRH) applicants who have passed detailed vetting may choose to apply for a Green Form Certificate to purchase a subsidised sale flat from the HA or the Housing Society in lieu of a PRH allocation.
Tenants affected by the HA’s announced PRH clearance projects who would like to purchase a subsidised sale flat in lieu of PRH will be accorded priority in flat selection over other applicants.
These projects include Pik Hoi House, Kam Pik House and Tan Fung House at Choi Hung Estate, and Wah On House and Wah Lok House at Wah Fu Estate.
The HA added that a quota of 1,050 GSH flats will be allocated to families applying under the Priority Scheme for Families with Elderly Members and the Families with Newborns Flat Selection Priority Scheme.
Separately, a quota of 250 GSH flats will be assigned to one-person applicants.
Application forms and relevant information will be available on a dedicated website from tomorrow.
Printed copies will be available from the office of the HA’s GSH sales unit in Kwun Tong, its customer service centre in Lok Fu, its estate offices and district tenancy management offices, the Housing Society’s rental estate offices and the Home Affairs Enquiry Centres.
Members of the public can call the HA’s sales hotline at 2712 8000 for enquires.
