Sham Shiu Po was by and large an old public housing estate district with many disabled and elderly living in the district. SSP DC Working Group on Medical and Rehabilitation collaborated with Hong Kong PHAB Association to promote barrier free and safe community for local residents since 2003. Activities included: printing of barrier free community booklet, improvement of barrier free environment contest amongst secondary students, collaborated with property management offices of public and private housing to enhance barrier free environment for the local residents. Up till now, all 13 participating public housing estates and self ownership scheme estates (about 65%) in the district had made various improvements such as improved sidewalk for easy access for wheelchair and disabled persons. In 2006, the program has extended invitation to private premises to join the program hoping that the disabled can have more areas for easy and safe access.
