Tiny 290sq ft temporary housing a welcome upgrade for some low-income Hong Kong families

Lau Kai-fai and his family recently started making themselves at home in a 293 sq ft (27 square metre) prefabricated flat in Sham Shui Po. The apartment is a modular unit that is part of a transitional social housing project in the low-income area of Hong Kong. The flats are meant to provide temporary accommodation to families in need or people waiting for an opening in public housing blocks.
