All those made homeless were to receive an initial down payment of £ 5,500, with each household to be given at least £ 500 in cash and £ 5,000 paid into an account . On 18 June the government announced that a new disaster management team was taking over, acknowledging that the initial response by the state, both locally and nationally, was inadequate . On 21 June, the government announced that 68 new flats in the local borough were to be made available to survivors . </P> <P> A total of 151 homes were destroyed in the tower and surrounding area .
