The Salvation Army Shamshuipo Family Support Networking Team is subvented by the Social Welfare Department to start services in 2003 in Sham Shui Po District. It was set up to respond to the changing welfare needs through targeted and proactive outreach methods to early identify those in need of assistance for timely intervention. To enhance service interfacing and efficient referral of vulnerable to appropriate services, the Team should maintain strong links with local bodies, welfare service units, non-governmental organizations, the Social Welfare Department and other government departments, etc. in the district. Their service targets are mainly low-income families and new arrivals living in Sham Shui Po district.
