Transitional Housing Project ( Hung Hom “Good Mansion” & Tai Po “Good House”)
Overview
SideBySide received funding from the Housing Department's "Funding Scheme to Support Transitional Housing Projects by Non-government Organisations" to develop two transitional housing projects: "Good Mansion" in Hung Hom and "Good House" in Tai Po.
"Good Mansion" is located in the residential and commercial area of Hung Lok Road in Hung Hom, adjacent to Hung Hom and Whampoa MTR stations. It is an 8-minute walk to the MTR station, and multiple bus and minibus routes connect to various districts. The district also boasts a variety of shops and shopping malls, providing residents with easy access to daily necessities.
“Good Mansion” consists of two four-storey buildings with 491 residential units, accommodating approximately 1,090 residents. Each unit has a toilet, shower facilities, and a cooking area. “Good Mansion” aims to provide short-term accommodation for a person or households who wait for public rental housing(PRH) for a long period or live in inadequate accommodation and seek to alleviate their life pressures and improve their living environment and quality of life. “Good Mansion” will adopt the concept of “H.O.M.E.” as its service model. A comprehensive range of social services will be provided to support residents in enhancing their life skills, fostering community connections, and cultivating a sense of belonging during their accommodation. Our goal is to empower residents to achieve personal growth and develop valuable social assets while creating opportunities for upward social mobility within society.
Scope of Services
“Good Mansion” uses "H.O.M.E." as its service model to create opportunities for residents to move upwards in the community.
