Sunrise House is a male halfway house, formerly called “Yuen Long hostel”. It is re-located to Tin Shui Wai Tin Wah Estate in 2000, providing 48 places to male service users with mental illness background. We provide professional services to persons in recovery (PIRs) through a team composed of registered social worker, registered psychiatric nurse, hostel staff and supporting staff.
