Ex-gratia Building Allowance
5
Families upon clearance also qualified for an ex-gratia Building Allowance of $1,000 per family, irrespective of family size and income limits, where the family was eligible for public housing but none was available locally. This allowance was payable on the condition that such families accepted temporary housing in the district in lieu of public housing elsewhere. Families who received the Building Allowance were not eligible for the Rehousing Allowance.
New Form of Ex-gratia Domestic Removal Allowance
6
The Compensation Review Committee recommended and the Finance Committee has now approved the combining of the former Re- housing and Building Allowances into one allowance called Domestic Removal Allowance with new rates and eligibility criteria for needy families in the compulsory rehousing categories. The new income limits are those applicable to Waiting List applicants for public housing. Subject to their meeting the income limits, persons accommodated in temporary housing will be eligible for the allowance as will compassionate cases. Families who qualify for the allowance because no local public housing is available and who accept temporary housing area space in lieu will not be subject to any income limits. The new rates are as follows:
