NEW HOMES FOR CHRISTMAS DAY FIRE VICTIMS
Staff of the Housing Department will work through the weekend
to speed up the intake process of the Kowloon Tsai squatter fire victims
into public housing or resite accommodation,
Occupants of surveyed structures in Man Heung Yuen and Sai Man
Lane which have been earmarked for clearance, and those structure in Man
San Lane which were covered by the 1964 general squatter survey will be
offered public housing.
All other genuine fire victims who occupied un-surveyed structures
will be offered sites at Cheung Sha Wan Licensed Area on which they may
erect new homes.
People who registered as victims of the Christmas Day fire were
called to the Tai Hang Tung Community Centre today (Saturday) for further processing
Those persons who had been living within the screened area of
the fire site were processed at the Tai Hang Tung Community Centre. Those
who lived within the unacreened area of the fire site were called to identify
the actual site of their structures.
The object of the exercise was to
weed out impostors and those who may have overclaimed.
Pre-letting interviews started this morning for those who are
known to be eligible for public housing and intake into Kwai Fong and Lam
Tin Estates will begin on Wednesday. For the remainder who are considered
eligible for public housing the intake will take place on January 7
