The Social Welfare Department (SWD) launched the third phase of the "Community Care Service Voucher for the Elderly" pilot project in October 2020. With the model of "money follows the person", eligible elders can use the community care service voucher ( Community Vouchers) to choose appropriate community care services to support them in home care. The pilot scheme covers all 18 districts in Hong Kong and the maximum number of community coupons can reach 8 000.
