The Yan Po Road LPH project in Tuen Mun will provide about 2,850 units, including units for one to two persons, three to four persons and four to five persons. The site is adjacent to Yan Po Road Public Transport Interchange as well as bus stops on Yan Po Road, while also linked by MTR bus routes to/from Tuen Mun and Siu Hong MTR Stations. The estimated monthly rent ranges from about $900 to $2,010.
The Tsing Fat Street site, also in Tuen Mun, will provide about 3,040 units for one to two persons, and three to four persons, at a monthly rent between $900 and $1,610. A bus terminus will be built nearby.

Eligible citizens will receive application forms by post on or before June 2 sent by the Housing Bureau. While application forms submitted between June 2 and 23 will be handled with priority, the bureau will still accept enrolment afterwards. Those who have applied before need not apply again.
Highlighting that the living environment of LPH is far better than substandard subdivided units and that residents will be given one-off special allowances ranging from $1,950 to $13,000, the bureau encouraged eligible citizens in need to submit their applications as soon as possible.
Completed application forms may be submitted by post or deposited into drop-in boxes. If the applicant and all family members have registered for “iAM Smart+”, they may fill in, sign and submit an e-Form by scanning the exclusive QR code on the application form.
