The Home Ownership Scheme (HOS) is a subsidised-sale public housing programme managed by the Hong Kong Housing Authority. It was instituted in the late 1970s as part of the government policy for public housing with two aims –to encourage better-off tenants of rental flats to vacate those flats for re-allocation to families in greater housing need;and also to provide an opportunity for home ownership to families unable to afford to buy in the private sector.
The Hong Kong Housing Authority (HA) is the main provider of public housing in Hong Kong. It was established in April 1973 under the Housing Ordinance and is an agency of the Government of Hong Kong. In the same year,the Resettlement Department and the Building Section of the Urban Services Department were merged to form the Housing Department,which acts as the Housing Authority's executive body.

Public housing in Hong Kong is a set of mass housing programmes through which the Government of Hong Kong provides affordable housing for lower-income residents. It is a major component of housing in Hong Kong,with nearly half of the population now residing in some form of public housing. The public housing policy dates to 1954,after a fire in Shek Kip Mei destroyed thousands of shanty homes and prompted the government to begin constructing homes for the poor.
