PROJECT DESCRIPTION

In June 2010, CRS started development of the next phase in the post-earthquake response and initiated the transition from providing assistance in internally displaced persons (IDP) camps to supporting individuals’ resettlement in neighborhoods of origin. CRS has designed a 30-month Community Resettlement and Recovery Program (CRRP) to help at least 25,000 families resettle in communities with integrated shelter, water and sanitation, protection, community infrastructure, and livelihoods solutions. The multifaceted CRRP contributes to significantly improve quality of life in five of the worst affected communities of post-earthquake Port au Prince.
