Nearly two weeks after a devastating fire at Wang Fuk Court, displaced families in Hong Kong are finding hope through a citywide support network. A transitional housing initiative launched this month now provides free long-term shelter to dozens of affected households, with social services and employment assistance coordinated by local NGOs.
"This stability lets us focus on recovery without worrying about immediate costs," said Ms. Li, a mother of two among the 120 residents relocated to the temporary complex. The project exemplifies cross-sector collaboration, with private developers offering unused properties and volunteers organizing daily essentials.
Authorities confirm all displaced residents will maintain access to healthcare and education services during the transition period. Urban planning experts highlight this response as part of Hong Kong's broader 2025 social welfare reforms, aimed at strengthening disaster preparedness systems across the region.
