Context
Villas del Sol, Toa Baja - This project seeks to directly impact 14 low-income families that still need help recovering after the passage of Hurricane Maria in the Villas del Sol community in the Ingenio neighborhood of the town of Toa Baja. This will include the building of 7 concrete roofs, reconstruction of one house that is partially built, and the rebuilding of 6 houses for families that completely lost their homes. The completion of the entire work will take 14 months to complete. The contractor that has been hired is from the community and residents from the community have also been hired to build the houses.
Impact
16 low income families living in Caño Martín Peña, San Juan, and 14 low income families living in Villas del Sol, Toa Baja, are now rebuilding their homes with quality materials that will last. Roofs are being installed, and minor on-site repairs to the homes are being made such as: (a) making sure that the house can support the roof; and (b) fixing windows, walls, and floors.
Update #5 - Phase 3
This third phase consisted on the construction of four (4) concrete expandable modules and the rebuilding of one (1) concrete roof.
The temporary housing unit was facilitated, so the families had a safe place to live during the reconstruction of their homes.
Achievements during this last phase:
(1) Reconstruction of 1 roof
(2) 1 house module, 1 room
(3) Second house module, 1 room
(4) 1 house module, 2 rooms
(5) Second house module, 2 rooms
