Out of the 208 households that needed rehousing after the fire, 118 will still be in emergency accommodation or with friends over the holiday period, including 29 families with children. A further 48 households have accepted permanent housing offers, but have not yet moved in and are currently still in temporary homes, [support group] Grenfell United said. Days after the fire the prime minister, Theresa May, promised that families would be rehoused within three weeks. — The Guardian
In the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire, progress has been painfully slow to permanently rehouse all the families who lived in the west London tower block. “Only 42 families have moved into new permanent homes, leaving 166 households still in temporary housing,” The Guardian reports. According to Elizabeth Campbell, the leader of the Kensington and Chelsea council, residents of Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk will have new homes by June 2018.
