TAIPEI (Taiwan News)–Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je inaugurated a senior citizen
service and daycare center and a child daycare center which are housed inside the Jiankang Public Housing complex on May 24.
Ko said this is the city’s first project incorporating welfare facilities into a public housing community, adding that the project is also the result of collaboration between the Department of Urban Development and the Department of Social Welfare.
Securing a location for social welfare facilities has always been a challenge, so Taipei City Government adopts a new practice where spaces on lower levels of public housing complexes can be allocated as venues for child day care, senior care, and community activities. [FULL STORY]
