The flood victims had been staying in the accommodation for almost five months since they were moved from Lamontvile.
At the time heavy rains had lashed through the community leaving trails of disruption.
Department of Human Settlements spokesperson Ndabezinhle Sibiya explains that there has been a delay in processing of payments but efforts to turn around the situation are in motion.
"We have presented this matter to the Human Rights Commission and they have agreed with all efforts to turn around the situation," he said.
