Note: The Housing Department publishes the highest number (applicable to general family applications) / lowest score (applicable to non-elderly one-person applications) of accepted offers every month for applicants’ general reference only. It does not mean that all applicants with scores before that number / higher than the lowest score have accepted or obtained public housing offers. In addition, the waiting time for allocation will be affected by many unpredictable factors, including:

  • The region, area, quantity and supply time of the recycling units;
  • whether applicants ranked higher in the ranking accept the allocated flats;
  • Applicants from different districts change their waiting queues due to population increases or decreases, changes in public housing constituencies, etc.

Therefore, the time it takes for different family sizes in different districts to be allocated public housing will be shortened or extended. For the above reasons, it is difficult for the Housing Department to predict how long applicants will have to wait before being allocated a public housing flat.
