Over the past year, SideBySide has actively responded to the pressing housing needs in our community, achieving encouraging results in the operation of transitional housing. We celebrated two significant milestones: The Transitional Housing Project Hung Hom “Good Mansion” welcomed its first residents in August 2024, lighting the lamp of home for more than 500 households. Equipped with comprehensive community facilities, including children’s play areas, shared kitchens, and multi-purpose activity rooms, it allows residents to settle into their lives while rebuilding community connections. Meanwhile, the Tai Po “Good House” , officially commenced operations in early 2025, will provide a home for more than households. This project emphasises green environments, creating a livable and inclusive living space. Seeing children playing in front of their new homes and neighbors rebuilding mutual support networks reminds us that this is not just about providing shelter but about taking a critical step toward restoring confidence in their lives. Beyond stable housing, employment and personal growth are essential. Providing housing alone is not enough to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty. Thanks to The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the five-year “JC PROJECT LIFT” programme was launched. In alignment with SideBySide’s H.O.M.E. service framework – Health, Opportunities, Meaning, and Engagement, this innovative programme breaks from traditional models and adopts an “Urban Graduation Approach” to help grassroots families escape poverty. Focusing on “empowerment”, the programme not only aims to strengthen families’ financial stability but also enhances their capabilities through career navigation and skills training. We have witnessed families transform from initial uncertainty and helplessness to rebuilding confidence and dignity and setting goals for the future, actively forming mutual support networks within their communities. This transformation from within equips families with the courage and ability to move forward steadily, envisioning a brighter future.
