The $40,000 will be used to help 10 families repair and reconstruct homes, including “core houses” that are permanent structures with separate sanitation facilities designed to be expanded over time by their families. These dwellings meet international humanitarian standards and are resistant to earthquakes and hurricanes.
Habitat's goal is to help 50,000 Haitian families who lost their homes to improve their living conditions through the distribution of shelter kits, and by removing and recycling debris, repairing and constructing new and transitional homes and providing training for residents to help improve living conditions.
