May applicants of HOS 2025 add or delete family members list in the application form after the closing date of application (20 May 2026)?

Circumstances in which HOS applicants may request for addition or deletion of member(s) listed in the application form

• addition of family member(s) due to birth, marriage or the applicant’s spouse/ child(ren) aged under 18 being granted permission to stay in Hong Kong; or
• deletion of family member(s) due to death, divorce or having successfully acquired a flat under other subsidised housing schemes and become an owner or member of the acquired flat.

If the Green Form applicant household is a sitting Public Rental Housing/ Rental Estate/ Elderly Persons Flats household, prior approval for addition/deletion of family members has to be obtained from the respective estate office/ District Tenancy Management Office/ Rental Estate office before submission of an application to the HOS Sales Unit in writing.

Effect on the eligibility and priority for flat selection

• Should the request for addition of family member(s) be approved, the application category will still be based on the position as at the closing date of application.

• Should the request for deletion of member be approved which results in a change of the application category from family applicant to one-person applicant, assessment of income and asset (if applicable) will be based on the limits for one-person applicant.

• The HA will reassess the eligibility and priority for flat selection based on the latest information of the applicant.
