A total of 673 people from 170 families who lost their homes
in the squatter fire in Tsuen Wan on Sunday are to be offered public
housing in the locality.
Another 49 families comprising 205 people ineligible for
public housing will be offered accommodation at the Shek Lei Licensed
Area.
Clearance Staff of the Housing Department have been fully
engaged in processing the eligibility of the victims since the day of
the fire.
Today, they moved to the branch office of the Tsuen Wan
District Office in Hoi Par Street to start detailed registration of the
victims for public housing or licensed areas,
To speed up the process, the Applications Section will screen
the first batch of completed forms tomorrow and conduct pre-letting
interviews from Friday.
The first group of the fire victims will be able to move
into their new homes on public housing estates next Wednesday.
Allocation of licensed area sites, for those not eligible for
public housing, will begin next Tuesday.
A special effort is being made to install temporary water and
electricity supplies to a newly completed block at Kwai Shing Estate where
smaller flats are available to meet the individual needs of some fire victims.
