Facts about work being done in the city to deal
with homelessness
• Property owners provide around 300 apartments each year to those who for social/medical reasons are having difficulty finding a home. The Property Management Administration sub-lets these “city authority contracts”. Following a successful trial period, the tenants are given their own contract (1½-2 years)
• The Social Welfare Allocation Committee offers around 1,000 residential places, mainly small apartments in blocks but also emergency places.
