United Court, in Yuen Long, for which the Group leased the land at a nominal rent of HK$1, is operated by the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council and supported by government funding. Following its completion and handover in May this year, a ground-breaking and blessing ceremony was recently held.  

United Court provides 1,800 units with various room types. In addition to leasing the land, SHKP was responsible for preliminary project planning, basic site formation, technology support and providing property management consultancy. The project also includes an integrated service building, a convenience store, a quick-cut hair salon, communal kitchens and recreational facilities, as well as expansive public space for residents. The United Court project epitomizes the power of tripartite collaboration among the government, the business sector and the community. It took only 19 months to complete the project, which involved a range of processes, including application, ground-breaking, construction, completion and handover. 

In addition, United Court is the first transitional housing in Hong Kong to establish a Well-Being Index. Based on the residents' needs for wellness encompassing eight dimensions – physical, mental, social, financial, occupational, spiritual, environmental and technological – United Court will provide them with relevant support to encourage them to develop healthy lifestyle habits and build up their self-esteem.
