For the priority order in flat selection, family households are allowed to select flats before one-person households, and
families or one-person households living in PRH estates affected by the HA’s clearance programme are allowed to select
flats before families or one-person households of other Green Form (i.e. ordinary Green Form) categories and all White
Form categories respectively. In executing flat selection order, the ratio between ordinary Green Form and White Form
applicants will be 3:2. In other words, for every five applicants on the priority list, the order will be: (a) three ordinary
Green Form applicants; (b) two White Form applicants. The quota allocation ratio between Green Form and White Form
applicants is 60:40. If the allocated quota for one queue is not fully utilised, the remaining quota will be allocated to the
other queue.
4.
PRH tenants rehoused through the Express Flat Allocation Scheme exercise may apply for the purchase of HOS flats using
Green Form. If they apply within three years from the date of tenancy commencement of their PRH units, they will be
treated as if they were White Form applicants in flat selection priority and will be put under the White Form queue. Any
HOS flats purchased by this category of Green Form applicants will be counted against the White Form quota.
