2. **August 27, 2024**: The HA’s Subsidised Housing Committee endorsed a revised proposal related to the Vacant Flat Refurbishment Allowance (VFRA). The revision responds to tenant feedback that highlighted difficulties in managing minor repairs within the one-year period, leading to delays. Under the new provisions, the Housing Department (HD) will take over maintenance responsibilities upon the expiry of this period.
