Program will benefit some 5,000 families to be relocated from tent camps in Port-au-Prince
A $30 million grant from the Inter-American Development Bank will help Haiti relocate some 5,000 families from tent camps in high-risk areas in Port-au-Prince to a new settlement with transitional housing and basic sanitation services.
The new settlement will be built on a plot of public land in Les Orangers, an area north of Port-au-Prince, following the guidelines of the Shelter Sector Response Plan, which has been approved by the Haitian government and is backed by various agencies assisting the country after the January 12 earthquake.
