Cage home
A cage home or a bedspace apartment () is a type of residence that is only large enough for one bunk bed surrounded by a metal cage.〔Hong Kong People's Council on Housing Policy. 熱窩(住屋權報告書). Step Forward Multi Media, 2000, p.23〕 In 2007, there were approximately 53,200 people living in cage homes.〔"(Social Indicators of Hong Kong: Number of persons living in cage housing )". Retrieved 2013-3-31.〕 This type of residence originated in Hong Kong, and primarily exists in older urban districts such as Sham Shui Po, Mong Kok, To Kwa Wan, and Tai Kok Tsui.
Generally, the residents are low-income people, including the elderly, drug addicts, and low-skilled or unskilled laborers.〔(Apple Daily, 2011-09-16 ).〕 Reports from the Legislative Council of Hong Kong found that the people who lived in cage homes were those who did not qualify for social welfare or subsidized rent or electricity.〔() #籠屋、板房及套房
租住問題研究報告, 2008.〕 Most of the residents are male. Safety and living conditions in cage homes are poor.
==Official definition==
Cage homes are categorized as "bedspace apartments" by the Hong Kong Government. According to the Bedspace Apartment Ordinance, the term "bedspace apartment" refers to a house that contains 12 or more people who rent bedspaces individually. It is legal to run these bedspace apartments, but landlords must first apply for a special license.
