****************************************************************************************
     The Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Chan Kwok-ki, today (September 3) chaired the 28th meeting of the Commission on Children, and led its members to visit the Jockey Club Key House (Key House) in Shau Kei Wan.

     SideBySide launched the Jockey Club "Craft Your Life Together" Co-living Community Project at the Key House, which is the first service unit in Hong Kong that provides a one-stop accommodation, life planning and diversified social connection support services for youths lacking family support.

     At the meeting, representatives of the Labour and Welfare Bureau, the Centum Charitas Foundation and SidebySide briefed members on the new Centum Youth Power up (Pilot) Scheme which provides transitional support to young people leaving residential child care services but without family support. Members acknowledged the synergy achieved by the tripartite collaboration among the Government, the business sector and the community in empowering young people with the necessary support.

     The Pilot Scheme has been launched in line with the policies in relation to strengthening family cohesion and safeguarding children in the Chief Executive's 2025 Policy Address. It aims to assist young people who are leaving residential child care services and who may feel lost and helpless as they enter into society, so that they can confidently and more seamlessly transition to an independent new stage of life.
