Habitat for Humanity has set a goal of providing housing solutions to 50,000 earthquake-affected families in Haiti—about a quarter of a million people—over the next five years. In the initial stage, the organization is providing emergency shelter kits to 10,000 households. An aggressive building program is planned to include transitional shelter and construction of small core houses. Habitat will implement its recovery project through Habitat Resource Centers that provide technical assistance and support to restoration of the construction sector as well as direct housing production. Habitat has worked in Haiti for 26 years.
