According to the ballot result, my number is among the top numbers on the list, why is my priority so low?
Hong Kong Housing Authority & Housing DepartmentThe Housing Authority (HA) has set quotas for different application categories for HOS 2023. The process for assigning order to the application numbers is as follows:
1. Firstly, the order of different application categories is arranged according to the following sequence–
| Green Form Applicants | White Form Applicants |
|---|---|
| 1) Family applicants applying under the "Priority Scheme for Families with Elderly Members" | 1) Nuclear family applicants applying under the “Priority Scheme for Families with Elderly Members” |
| 2) Other family applicants | 2) Other nuclear family applicants |
| 3) One-person applicants | 3) Non-nuclear family applicants |
| 4) One-person applicants |
2. Then, each application number within the respective application categories is assigned an order based on the ballot result –
- The ballot result is determined by a computer-generated process using 100 ballot numbers (i.e. 00-99), representing the last two digits of the application number.
- Based on the ballot result, the computer will generate the order for all respective application numbers; for application numbers sharing the same last two digits, the computer will randomly assign the order.
