The Home and Youth Affairs Bureau (Chinese: 民政及青年事務局) is a policy bureau of the Hong Kong Government. The bureau has general responsibility over local administration, with a remit covering youth affairs, family planning, women's affairs, social development, fire safety, and matters related to the district councils. One of the important roles of the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau is to enhance liaison and communication with all sectors of the community including the Legislative Council and the general public. The Bureau was established on 1 July 1997 as the Home Affairs Bureau, succeeding the Home Affairs Branch (Chinese: 布政司署政務科) of the colonial government secretariat. It was reorganized at the beginning of the Lee government in 2022 as the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau, with some of its functions transferred to the new Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau.[1] It has its headquarters in the West Wing of the Central Government Complex in Tamar.[2]
The bureau is headed by Alice Mak, the Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs since 2022, and is overseen by the Chief Secretary for Administration.
