Definition
Sandwich Class Housing Scheme; a type of subsidized housing in Hong Kong for middle-income apartments.
How it's used
Refers specifically to a government housing program from the 1990s designed for middle income families who did not qualify for public housing but could not afford private property. The term has become a historical reference point in local real estate discussions since the scheme was suspended. It is often used to describe the specific type of housing estates built under this policy rather than as a general category for all middle class housing.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with public housing or private residential developments, as it refers to a very specific historical government policy. It is not a generic term for any apartment that is neither public nor luxury.
