The Transport and Housing Bureau is conducting a public consultation exercise to collect views from stakeholders and members of the public on the issue of subsidising home ownership.

The Chief Executive has stated that the Government's policy regarding residential property market is to respond to market demand through the supply of land, with the Application List System as the main axle supplemented by flexible improvement measures and land auctions from time to time so as to increase the land supply. Notwithstanding this, the Government recognises that the subject of using public resources to subsidise home ownership is being debated in the community. On this important subject, the Government will listen to the views of members of the public to try to identify a consensus on a way forward. Views and suggestions arising from this consultation exercise will be forwarded to the Chief Executive for his consideration.
