Victims of the Tai Po fire in Hong Kong will continue to receive an annual rental subsidy of HK$150,000 until they are resettled under the government’s “flat-for-flat” housing scheme. A senior official confirmed that the financial support will remain in place even if the relocation process extends beyond two and a half years, ensuring ongoing assistance for displaced families during the transition period.
The aid is part of a broader effort to support residents affected by the tragic incident, maintaining their housing stability while new accommodations are prepared. The government has emphasized continuity in its commitment to those impacted, reinforcing the importance of timely and reliable resettlement. This measure reflects the authorities’ focus on long-term recovery and social welfare for victims of the disaster.
