Alexandria, VA:- The Salvation Army will complete the
construction of 600 housing shelters through the Transitional Shelter Program
in Jacmel, Haiti this week, to assist in
relocating earthquake-displaced Haitians back to their home communities. Over
the past six months The Salvation Army has transitioned from providing for
immediate needs, including temporary shelter, food, water and medical attention
to providing long-term recovery services to help return survivors to a level of
normalcy in their lives. The long-term rebuilding process has employed more
than 400 Haitians as carpenters and construction crew-members to assist in
reconstruction efforts. More
