Tung Chan: Nacel Properties

Public Appeal Dept: S.U.C.C.E. S.S., an immigrant aid society, has set up a trust account and is asking for donations. Society CEO Tung Chan said most residents did not have insurance, as they couldn't afford premiums, according to Vancouver Sun. More than 90 people were left homeless by the Heather Lee Apartments fire. While the building's owner, Cressey/Nacel Properties, has offered to relocate some tenants to other buildings it owns outside Richmond, most still have not been able to find alternative living arrangements, said tenants' representative Sunny Yuen and a public appeal is being made to help dozens of people -- many immigrants, some with young children -- left homeless by an Aug. 7 fire in a three-storey walk-up in Richmond. "Tenants with children are having the most difficulty finding a place that takes kids," he said. "Many do not want to leave Richmond because their children are enrolled in school here." As reported in the news.
