OVER $77,000 PAID OUT TO FIRE VICTIMS
The Housing Department today (Friday) paid out more than $77,600
to victims of the Aldrich Bay fire to help meet the expenses in re-establishing
their homes at Chai Wan IV Licensed Area.
Families of up to five persons each received $1,250 and additional
heads in the families were each paid an extra $250. All squatters also
each received $100 as re-equipment allowance.
Payment of the cash allowance has so far been made to 41 families
comprising 200 people.
There are still 144 people from 34 families eligible for the
allowance and these people are advised to approach the department for the
grant without delay.
Re-equipment allowance of $100 each will also be paid to those
who have been offered public housing at Hing Wah Estate and elsewhere as
soon as arrangements for payment have been worked out,
