Increasing number of homealone elderly and ineffective use of PRH; non-elderly one-person applicants reached 117 500 in 2018, with average waiting time of 5.5 years with a grading system not in favor of young applicants. We aim to accomodate more young professionals (have completed ‘post secondary-degree’ studies within the past three years and whose salaries have not increased significantly during the period) while allow social interactions for homealone elderly.

​

Except for the family applicants who can choose to participate or not, all residents must participate in the buddy system.

1. Check the eligibility list (same as the the existing criteria as of Housing Authority)

2. Fill the application form together with a personal statement showing motivation, social services experience and personality and submit to the Priority Scheme Joint Office.

3. A vetting interview will be required.

4. Buddy system application for applicants (except family applicants) 

The Sixth Generation adopts a highly flexible approach in determining the flat mix. The proportion of the three flat models for new development/ redevelopment can be adjusted from time to time.

There is special arrangement for one-person elderly applicants to be allocated a flat within 2.9 years. For other eligible applicants, the average waiting time would be 4.5 years.

The Priority scheme joint office will be in charge of the management and administration of the buddy system. Normally the residents cannot switch their partners unless with valid reason approved by the Joing Office on a case by case basis. For the participants who drop out from the Buddy system, the Joint office will arrange reallocation process for their buddies remaining in the system.

The new mode of living (co-living) allows better spatial efficiency and increases the number of people per development. The social management scheme is our competitive edge which works to enhance the sense of community and quality of life.
