Service Recipients

Project Details
We hope to provide a decent and spacious extra "extended living space" in the Community for subdivided unit residents. The shared living space will settle and restore their needy daily living matters and thus restore the normality and dignity of daily life. It rapidly reduces the multi-function of their sub divided unit. At the same time, it builds up and strengthen the neighborhood network of grassroots families to enhance their mutual support and appreciation through their co-living at “Hub”.
