Registration of those eligible for licensed area sites will
take place tomorrow (Sunday) at Homantin Licensing Office and sites at
Cheung Sha Wan will be offered as soon as possible.
Mr. Brian Coak,
Administrative Officer, Squatter Control, of
the Housing Department said that everything possible has been done
to speed up the intake process into public housing or licensed area
accommodation.
"We have mobilised all available staff to cope with the work.
These officers worked throughout the X'mas holidays and will work again throughout the weekend and New Year's Day until the operation is completed,"
he said.
In the squatter fire more then 350 structures in Man Heung Yuen,
Man San Lane and Sai Man Lane in the Kowloon Tsai area were destroyed
leaving a total of more than 2,500 people from 620 families homeless.
Most of the victims are staying with relatives or friends and
about 300 are taking shelter at the eight temporary accommodation
centres opened by the Housing Department.
