Eric Chua on ComCare and ComLink+ support
About half of households that received ComCare support in the past two years did not live in public rental housing - that is about 20,000 households. Many of them received short- to medium-term assistance. ComLink+ will be offered to lower-income families who do not live in public rental flats but who are eligible for the KidSTART or UPLIFT Community Network programmes. The aim is to reach 3,000 such households over three years under a pilot scheme. If there are concrete results, the Government will then consider if ComLink+ should be expanded further to cover other groups of low-income families. Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Social and Family Development Eric Chua said this in Parliament on Tuesday (Apr 2) in reply to an MP’s questions.
