1. (a) (b) (iii) it must be noted that currently, the government does not have any legal authority/jurisdiction over privately owned hostels, and as such details required for this question are not held by any domain of government.
1. (a) (b) (iv), it must also be noted that government has no legal authority/jurisdiction over private hostels which have been built on public land (grey hostels), and as such details required for this question are not held by any domain of government.
2. The department does not regard grey hostels as public housing. The reason is, that such hostels are not subsidized by government funds and are owned by the private sector although some may be on government land. The private owners can sell to the government and or enter into partnership with the government such that these hostels can be used as part of other housing programmes that are meant for public housing.
