A FAMILY made homeless after one of the Island’s biggest fires destroyed their lodging house last year have until Monday to find a new place to live.
The Sequeira family, who escaped the Broadlands blaze in St Peter wearing just the clothes on their backs, have been told that they need to move out of their temporary States-provided accommodation because they do not have any housing qualifications.
In July, 53 people, mainly Portuguese and Polish nationals, were made homeless after the inferno, caused by a spark from a workshop on the Mont Fallu site, destroyed the next-door lodging house and staff house used by many of the site workers.
Most of the residents were rehoused by the Housing department on a temporary basis and many have now found a new home.
