The singleton hostel programme run by Home Affairs Department has not been well received by cage dwellers. The programme is said to have failed to cater to the needs of cage dwellers, reflecting the lack of communication between the government and the grassroots.籠屋是香港獨有的產物，環境惡劣，住客均需要社會的協助。兩次籠屋火災，令政府關注這類居所的安全問題。民政事務總署推出單身人士宿舍計劃，提供宿位。籠屋居民反應冷淡，拒絕搬遷，這反映政府評估不足，與基層市民缺乏溝通。負責部門各自為政，態度僵化，導致安置政策失敗。政府認為，他們不願搬走，這是他們的選擇，政府表明不會取締籠屋。
