The City designated 2009 as the “Year of the Disadvantaged”. To help disadvantaged populations such as senior citizens, disabled people, individuals relying on social welfare, and disadvantaged families, the city government has implemented over 30 different kinds of welfare policies, hoping to extend aid to those requiring assistance.
To provide help to the four target groups, the City will emphasize on the level of family and local community. The different kinds of assistance include the providing of long-term care for disabled elders, the establishing of community health service stations for seniors, as well as the offering of community care for disabled individuals and daycare for young children.
