NEW YEAR'S EVE FIRE VICTIMS OFFERED HOUSING
Choice Of Three Estates Given
More than 400 people whose homes were affected by the fire on
New Year's Eve will be offered public housing.
The fire gutted six pre-war tenement buildings at Nos. 79-89
Queen's Road West.
A spokesman for the Resettlement Department said today that the
homeless will be given a choice of three estates.
Those who wish to remain on Hong Kong Island will be offered
public housing in the Wong Chuk Hang Government Low Cost Housing Estate.
However, they will have to wait until early March as new units are not
immediately available.
Temporary accommodation will be available at the Department's
transit contres.
The spokesman added that for those who wish to go to Kowloon, immediate
accommodation is available in Kwai Chung Government Low Cost Housing
Estate and Lam Tin Resettlement Estate.
