Long wait for public flat

MY family applied for a flat in a public housing estate two years ago, but we are still on the waiting list.

We cannot rent a large flat. My parents' income is very low.

I and my two brothers study in school and their income barely covers our expenditure. We should be able to get a public estate flat.

In the last two years we have had to move house three times and now our flat is so small, I have to stay with a relative.

I understand that some public housing flats are not occupied and some families occupy more than one flat.

I wish the Housing Department would utilise its resources more effectively. I hope it will look into this matter.
