The Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Welfare Council (Welfare Council), was established in 1966 with the aim of bringing love and care to the community. It collaborates with churches, students, and others to collectively build a caring society. The Welfare Council provides diverse services to people of different ages and social strata, with over 200 direct service units and member organizations distributed throughout Hong Kong.

The Welfare Council and Sun Hung Kai Properties have collaborated in the establishment of the United Count Transitional Housing Project at Tung Tau, Yuen Long, with the support of government funding. The Project provides 1,800 units with the objective of improving the living conditions of grassroots families. Through the delivery of social services, they aim to inspire their residents to participate actively in the activities of United Count, thereby building a caring, supportive and inclusive community together.
