Transitional Shelter
Transitional shelter is any of a range of shelter options that help people affected by conflict or natural disasters who have lost or abandoned their housing until they can return to or recover acceptable permanent accommodation. The term refers to an incremental process rather than a product, in which a shelter can be: # upgraded into part of a permanent house; # reused for another purpose; # relocated from a temporary site to a permanent location; # resold, to generate income to aid with recovery; and # recycled for reconstruction.

Several organizations have developed a she ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
