[Youth Hostel] Joseph's House

To further address the housing needs of young people, the Government announced in the 2022 Policy Address and the Youth Development Blueprint the initiative to expand the Youth Hostel Scheme by subsidising NGOs to rent suitable hotels and guesthouses for use as youth hostels.

The "Joseph's House" located at 86 & 88 Apliu Street, Sham Shui Po, was reprovisioned into a youth hostel and operated by the Lady Lau Memorial Charitable Foundation Limited. The youth hostel provides two types of room for one-person or two-person application. The youth tenants are required to servie the community by participating in charity activities, while enjoying rents lower than market price.
