1. From Shelter Relief Into Permanent Housing in Haiti How Do We Get There?

2. Shelter sector, so far….. • Emergency Shelter • Shelter NFIs distributions: • Tarpaulins • Tools kits • WASH support items 99%+ coverage achieved 

3. Shelter sector, so far….. • Damage Assessments • ATC-20 methodology implemented • Approximately 345,000+ houses evaluated • 53% green, 25% yellow, 21% red 92%+ coverage achieved 

4. Shelter sector, so far…. • Transitional Shelter • 125,000 planned • 86% funded • 22,000 built Transition to what?

5. Relief vis-a-vis Recovery • Relief: Short-term interventions, at scale, at speed, focused on “products” • Recovery: Long-term interventions focused on “process” How to maximize investments?

6. Pathways to Permanence How to get displaced households in the pathway to recovery? (and beyond)

7. House owner- occupier House destroyed, cannot be repaired. Earthquake Displaced to urban self-settled camp Re-affirm tenure rights & needs assessment Structural assessment of house (ATC-20) Assess environmental conditions & risk Support with NFIs (emergency shelter, WASH), CFW and transitional shelter Relocate House owner- occupier; incremental improvements Rebuild in-situ Partnerships between household and local construction organizations/NGOs (e.g. HRC); canalize vouchers for construction materials, tools and technical assistance services; help family to rebuild house using delivered materials and tools. Facilitate access to housing finance mechanism (e.g. MFI) Provide support for return once construction is completed

8. An “enabling” environment is needed for reconstruction at scale • Decisions and agreements at policy level • Actionable implementation strategies • Coordination and M+E mechanisms For…….

9. 1. Land Access and Tenure • Re-affirm property rights and land “arrangements” • Define land allocation mechanism • Define strategy for existing camps

10. 2. Land use • Prevent reconstruction in high-risk areas • Territorial planning • Development corridors • Link infrastructure developments with livelihoods in future settlements

11. 3. Physical Planning Criteria • Simple, basic regulations • Consistent with economic realities • Allowances for service levels and incremental improvements

12. 4. Design and Building Codes • Consistent with economic realities • Allowance for incremental improvements • Seismic & hurricane resistance provisions • Quality control mechanism (liabilities)

13. 5. House Repair Strategy • Reassurance of property rights • Mechanism for technical assistance • Mechanism for quality assurance • Prioritization criteria – support return • Finance options for improvements

14. Rubble, rubble and more rubble • Estimates range from 20 to 78 million m³ • Demolition, collection, recycling, disposal • CFW opportunities vs. speed/scale • Strategic investment

15. Need to Happen • Funding to follow recovery strategy (not the other way around) • Establishing permanent housing as a priority by IHRC • Adjusting of programs for recovery and closing of camps

16. Need to Happen • Initiatives by shelter NGOs/Agencies ! • Advocacy at all levels • Think more than houses • Build the “process”, not the “house” • Demonstration projects to inform process • Community participation models

17. Can it happen? • Underpin the fundamental problem • Big players need to foster a framework of legality for reconstruction • Avoid Haiti becoming a “Republic of NGOs”
