From September 15 through November 30, CORE transitioned efforts andentered phase two of emergency response: sustainable solutions to early recovery.
In the Grand'Anse Department of the South, CORE began distributing kits andeventually installed, emergency shelter, enabling safe spaces for refuge in one's own property or nearby host families. In total, CORE distributed 1,188 shelter kitsand installed shelters in 424 households in the municipalities of Beaumont, Corail and Pestel.
