the Antigua and Barbuda Red Cross (ABRC) is rolling out a new Shelter Recovery Programme (SRP)to help Barbudans to purchase and install needed housing fixtures to get their houses geared for the 2018 Hurricane Season.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The SRP was developed as part of the Red Cross\u2019 effort to assist in the recovery of Barbuda while coordinating with the National Office of Disaster Services (NODS) other humanitarian organizations in operation in Barbuda such as Samaritan\u2019s Purse and Barbuda Recovery and Conversation Trust (BRCT) that have assisted with the recovery.<\/p>\n

To maximize effort, the decision was made to focus on providing essential housing fixtures such as doors, tiles, windows, water tanks, and spouting along with the supplies necessary for the installation of such.\u00a0 \u201cFor anyone to have a proper place and have the conditions to go back to their houses, this is what they need,\u201d said Alejandra Van Hensbergen, ABRC Cash Transfer Program Delegate – Hurricane Irma.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The target is to provide building materials for 250 households in 8 weeks, in a cycle that moves from registration, housing visits for measurements, transporting the beneficiaries to purchase the materials, shipping, distribution and referral to an installer for those that need the support.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Each household was accorded EC$3000 to use at a participating vendor. All beneficiaries are expected to be identified by the end of June.\u00a0 The first 50 have already received materials in Barbuda and the next 50 were transported on June 7th to purchase their materials in Antigua. Red Cross staff are currently meeting and registering with groups 3 and 4.<\/p>\n
