Housing Haiti

As time wears on there are still homeless Haitians. The Government has not "forced" anyone out of temporary camps but are trying to relocate homeless people into more permanent places, as people are living in makeshift tents which are really just sticks holding up sheets. Also, with hurricane season approaching these makeshift homes will not uphold the down pours of rain. Not to mention disease rates are increasing and with all the relief help diseases are easily transferrable, person to person, and country to country. It is important that we develop sustainable homes for the homeless but Haiti is in an area likely to be devastated again. Only time will tell.
