After the January 12th earthquake in Haiti, Habitat International has begun assessing the impacts of this disaster on affordable housing. As soon as the situation is assessed, Habitat will begin the recovery process. According to Habitat International news release, "Habitat has been at work in Haiti for 26 years and will use its local expertise and mobilize resources as part of the rebuilding efforts. Habitat has provided more than 2,000 families with housing solutions through a variety of initiatives, including new home construction, progressive building, home repairs and improvements. It also builds capacity in construction skills, disaster mitigation and financial literacy and works in coordination with community and government agencies."
