Last week was the relocation dedication for 100 + shelters to be built (38 complete and another 40 nearly there). One of the trickiest things about the shelter program for the shelter teams is that many of the people who were most affected by the typhoon lived in the No-Build Zone, or within 40 meters of the shore. Therefore, for safety purposes, the government will not let them rebuild in that area. So, they have to re-locate or rent. So, the urban shelter program has come up with nearly a dozen housing options. Although all emergency shelter is for 4 years, the rental will be for 2. There was a mass and it was a very moving opening ceremony.
