RAINSTORM VICTIMS MOVING TO NEW HOMES
About 1,400 victims of last month's rainstorm will move into
government low cost housing estates early next month.
They will be moving into flats at Ko Chiu Road in Kwun Tong and
at Lei Muk Shue and Kwai Fong in the Tsuen Wan area.
The second group will follow soon after and it is expected that
all the 16,000 people scheduled to go to government low cost housing
flats will be in their new homes by the end of November,
Some 6,300 people have already moved into Resettlement Department
estates, and another 1,700 will be going to licensed areas. All available
resettlement rooms have now been allocated.
A government spokesman pointed out that four months was needed to
rehouse the 16,000 people because of the large numbers involved in the
rehousing programme.
He said that staff of the Housing Authority are working at full
speed to complete the final intake procedures,
