More resources for the needy

The Government will continue its work on targeted poverty alleviation by directing resources to those most in need with a series of corresponding measures in the 2025 Policy Address delivered by Chief Executive John Lee.

Activities of the Strive & Rise Alumni Club will be enriched, providing young people with training and experience that integrate Hong Kong pop culture and traditional Chinese arts. The Government will inject $180 million into the Child Development Fund to implement projects promoting the long-term development of primary students from disadvantaged communities, and enhance different elements of the projects by drawing on the successful experience of the Strive & Rise Programme with a view to reducing intergenerational poverty.

Six additional Community Living Rooms (CLRs) will be set up. Together with the nine CLRs, they are expected to benefit about 7,000 subdivided unit households.
