The Community Care Fund will start accepting applications from two-person households for the One-off Living Subsidy for Low-income Households Not Living in Public Housing & Not Receiving Comprehensive Social Security Assistance (CSSA) Programme from tomorrow.

 

The subsidy amount for two-person households is $9,000.

 

Beneficiaries should currently be renting accommodation on a monthly basis or for longer tenures in private housing, industrial buildings, commercial buildings or social housing operated by non-governmental organisations (NGOs).

 

People renting bed spaces offered under the Home Affairs Department's Singleton Hostel Programme or bed spaces in hostels operated by NGOs for rehabilitated offenders, residing in temporary housing as well as those living on board vessels or homeless can also apply.

 

The income limits for two-person households must not exceed $22,000 and beneficiaries should not be receiving CSSA or own any property in Hong Kong.

 

Their monthly rent for private housing, industrial buildings, commercial buildings or social housing should not exceed $11,000.

 

The application deadline is November 30.

 

The programme was launched on July 2 to relieve the financial pressure on low-income households. As at July 30, around 6,000 one-person households have submitted applications.

 

The fund will accept applications from three-person households from September 1, while all households irrespective of their size can submit applications from October 5.
