scheme for old people at its Cho Yiu Chuen estate, which consists of
130 self-contained flats with a capacity for 260 people under the
general supervision of a warden. The Society plans to include
similar facilities in its new housing estates. The next project in
the pipeline will be at Sha Tin and will provide 100 flats with a
capacity for 200 people, to be completed in 1980/81. It is expected

this manner.

further 17,200 flats completed by 1982/83, but it is not possible
to estimate the number of elderly people who will be housed therein.
