I·CARE Community Research Scheme ─ 'Grassroots Housing and Community' Research Study Released

SDG17 Partnerships for the Goals | 10 October 2021

A total of 17 CUHK students from various disciplines participated in the I·CARE Community Research Scheme 2019/20 which provided the students with opportunities of community services and research.  Worked in collaboration with NGOs, Christian Concern For The Homeless Association and Concern For Grassroots Livelihood Alliance, the team focused on 'Grassroots Housing and Community' and conducted numerous home visits to subdivided apartments' residents.  The project team studied the causes and impacts of 'inadequate housing' and the approaches towards securing 'grassroots' rights to housing’ through investigation of the impact of domestic bedbug infestation and through oral history interviews. 

The findings of the project were presented as an online exhibition 'Hopefully Only for Now' (Chinese version only) available for the public.
