Latest update on Enhanced HLISS
Enhanced HLISS has received over 1,100 applications since its launch at the end of 2022. The first staff loan has been drawn down in June to assist a doctor for home ownership. Some enhancements will be rolled out to benefit more colleagues:
- If colleagues or their spouse had ceased to enjoy the interest subsidy under the HLISS before 29 December 2022, they can apply for Enhanced HLISS during their remaining period of entitlement, subject to exceptional approval.
- If colleagues are drawing the 5% Allowance in Lieu of HLISS, they are given an option to cease receiving the Allowance and to retain eligibility for HLISS for once at any time during current contract period which is irrevocable during remaining contract period. As long as you have fulfilled three years of qualifying service (including all qualifying service accumulated during continuous service in Hospital Authority), you can apply for Enhanced HLISS or original HLISS (only applications for public housing and subsidised flats subject to re-sale restriction will be accepted).
