The Operating Fund grants provide subsidies to cover day-to-day operational expenses, management costs, routine maintenance, security activities, and supportive services for low-income residents, elderly individuals, and persons with disabilities. The grants consistently aim to maintain decent, safe, and sanitary housing while promoting inclusive communities and improving residents' quality of life.
