Resident Liaison Ambassador Scheme

Introduction

To facilitate residents of old buildings to enhance building management, the Home Affairs Department launched the Resident Liaison Ambassador Scheme in November 2011 to recruit owners or residents who live in buildings aged 30 years or above and without any form of management as Resident Liaison Ambassadors . These Resident Liaison Ambassadors will assist government departments in contacting residents and engaging them in handling of daily building management matters. The long-term objective is to enhance the knowledge and interest of the residents in building management and, through this resident network, assist these buildings in the formation of owners' corporations to facilitate effective building management.

Owners or residents will be recruited as Resident Liaison Ambassadors during home visits conducted under the Building Management Professional Advisory Service Scheme. District Offices will also be recruiting Resident Liaison Ambassadors for the implementation of the Scheme.

For details, please refer to the poster.
