The Shek Kip Mei rehousing scheme, which is aimed at giving the 62,000 tenants of the old estate a radioal improvement in their living
condition has been warmly received.
Only 11 application forms out of a total of 1,856 the Resettlement Department sent out to domestic tenants have not been returned.
The Housing Authority has already offered tenancy to nearly 900
families and interviewed another 300.
Many families have already moved into their new homes in Pak Tin
and others are having theirs decorated.
An experienced Social Welfare Officer from the Social Welfare
Department is on full-time attachment to the operation and is continuing
his contact with tenants claiming to have problems arising from the transfer.
