The Yue Man Square Community Living Room Project opened in Kwun Tong on 9 November, becoming the district’s first such centre and Hong Kong’s 18th.
The centre is expected to receive about 67,000 visits a year and serve around 420 subdivided-flat households, the Chief Secretary for Administration said at its opening.
At about 4,000 square feet, it has a food-preparation area, showers, a laundry room, a music room and a rest area.
A resident social worker provides emotional counselling, talks on practical life information and referrals for people in need.
