TAI WO HAU REHOUSING OPERATION BEGINS
Tenants Offered Improved Living Flats
The Tai Wo Hau Redevelopment Scheme will initially involve the
transfer of about 4,300 people to new homes with improved living environment beginning today (Tuesday).
A new office manned by staff of the Redevelopment Division of the
Housing Department has been set up at Block 1 of the estate to assist tenants in their rehousing arrangements.
Today, letters giving details of the scheme were delivered to
the 803 families in Block 12 and 13 who will be rehoused under the first
phase of the scheme.
They will be offered accommodation in Kwai Shing II/III and
Lai King Estates. Rent for a typical five-person self-contained flat of
244 square feet at Kwai Shing will be $176 per month,
The Housing Department is fully aware that some tenants may have
various difficulties. Private interviews will be arranged with such
tenants to ascertain the nature of their needs and how to resolve their
problems,
Lower rent accommodation in other estates in the Tsuen Wan/
Kwai Chung district has been held in reserve for families who cannot
afford the rents at Kwai Shing and Lai King Estates.
An inter-departmental assistance committee has also been set up
to consider help for needy families requiring financial assistance to cover
removal and redecoration expenses.
Blocks 12 and 13 will be demolished to make way for new tower
blocks which in turn will facilitate the rehousing of other tenants.
Tai Wo Hau Estate will be modernised in due course to incorporate
self-contained flats for about 30,000 people together with a complete range
of ancillary facilities.
