Habitat for Humanity Haiti supported early recovery with emergency shelter kits, assessments of damaged houses and construction of transitional shelters. After the early recovery, we focused on building transitional and upgradable shelters. In 2011 we will shift to repairs and retrofit and permanent house construction. Habitat’s recovery project will be implemented through Habitat Resource Centers (HRCs). HRCs respond to the needs of households, providing a range of services including assistance in securing land and tenure, loans of tools and equipment, materials fabrication, water and sanitary solutions, transitional shelter and shelter upgrades. As the recovery progresses, housing microfinance will be introduced so that families can continue to manage home improvements and additions.
