History

The Government partnered with the Urban Renewal Authority (“URA”) to launch the “Lift Modernisation Subsidy Scheme” (“LIMSS”) which helps owners to modernise or replace aged lifts of their buildings. Residents living in building served by a single lift or by one lift per floor may face difficulties during lift suspension period. In order to alleviate the difficulties of the needy residents, URA has appointed Tung Wah Group of Hospitals as the project manager to manage and co-ordinate a series of outreach social services. URA also appointed The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hong Kong and St. James’ Settlement as service operators to provide the outreach and supportive services in different service areas.

Project Period
