Note:
(1) In November 2000, the Housing Authority endorsed the policy on 'Flexible Housing Production Mix'. Starting from 2004/05, all housing production will be classified as Group 1 or Group 2 Projects. Group 1 projects can be used for either rental or sale purposes, whereas Group 2 projects are basically for sale.
(2)Interim Housing has been taken up as the fixed assets of the Housing Authority since 1996/1997.
Figures of Interim Housing for 1997/98 and 1998/99 have been reclassified to reflect the total Interim Housing works.
