Summary
Just six months after the earthquake, Habitat is:
- Constructing about 70 transitional shelters a week—in places like Cabaret, below—providing safe, dry housing for Haitians living in unhealthy, vulnerable conditions.
- Working through Habitat Resource Centers to train and employ local workers in building efforts— and supplying families with courses in disaster mitigation and financial literacy.
- Providing more than 21,000 emergency shelter kits, conducting structural damage assessments in affected houses, repairing homes, and advocating for land-tenure policies to protect families’ property rights as they rebuild.
