ISS provides information on the social services available.

A:

For 1987788, the ISS has been allocated a

subvention of about $262,000 for its post-migration

service. The Subventions and Lotteries Fund Advisory

211

Committee has recently advised that in 1988 89 the

post-migration service of ISS should be given a slightly

higher subvention than in 198788.

بھر

This subvention is by no means the only financial

support given by Government to help immigrants to integrate

into the Hong Kong community. Apart from the family

service centres and group work units of the Social Welfare

ben cent

Department, subventions on a 100% support basis are granted

to voluntary agencies to provide 26 family service centres

to help residents and new immigrants alike. There are also

13 subvented community centres which provide similar

services.
