High temperatures in substandard housing in Hong Kong have led to calls for subsidies. A recent report revealed that temperatures soared to 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) over the past week.
Around 40 per cent of tenants in these inadequate homes reported having poor-quality windows or no windows at all, according to a concern group.
Two studies by the Society for Community Organisation (SoCO) highlighted these issues and urged authorities to provide subsidies for cooling products.
These studies also mentioned that low-income families may not see an improvement in their living conditions until 2030, due to regulations on subdivided flats.
Sze Lai-shan, the deputy director of SoCO, suggested that the government offer subsidies to residents for purchasing cooling products.
The proposed bill requires certain standards for properties to be considered as 'basic housing units', including a minimum size of 86 sq ft and proper windows.
Landlords are expected to register their properties under the new policy by March, with a grace period until February 2030.
The studies recorded high temperatures in various types of substandard housing across the city, with some tenants enduring temperatures as high as 40 degrees.
A survey conducted between May and July revealed that many tenants rely on air conditioners and fans to combat the heat.
Concerns were raised about the financial strain on low-income families due to increased utility bills during hot weather.
