Cash grants from the community relief trust fund to enable them
to rebuild and re-equip their homes will be distributed to them as soon
as their eligibility has been determined.
Meanwhile, staff of the Housing Department are still working
round the alock preparing a site nearby to take in the victims.
It is hoped that they can start building their new homes next
week.
The livelihood of fire victims will not be affected as the new
site is in the same area as the one devastated by the fire.
The spokesman repeated his appeal to the fire victime to make use
of the temporary accommodation facilities available to them.
He said: "We have opened seven temporary centres but only about
300 people are staying at three of them. The others still remain unoccupied."
The centres are the Caritas Centre at Ngau Tau Kok; the Welfare
Centre at Sau Mau Ping, South and Central; at Lan Tin Estate; the Kwun
Tong Community Centre; Yau Tong Kaifong Association; and Cha Kwo Ling
Kaifong Association.
