-- When creating disaster housing, Haiti can count on Veerhouse Voda. Since 2010, following the country’s massive earthquake, Veerhouse Voda has helped rebuild the country and is now creating as many as 70 structures per day in the wake of hurricane Matthew.

Veerhouse Voda is poised to make a major difference in the rebuilding efforts, as the company’s system is both affordable and versatile. Units retail for between $3,000 and $4,000, depending on the total number ordered at one time. Veerhouse Voda’s local factory can not only produce 70 in a day, but also constructs the emergency shelters in a matter of just a few hours each, without the use of major equipment.
The emergency shelters consist of robust lightweight steel frames, which work similar to traditional wood frames, but don’t contribute to deforestation, and include durable covers that last five years or more. This gives people recovering from a tragedy instant protection from the elements, as well as the framework to construct an affordable and permanent home at a later date.

The company first came to Haiti after the earthquake in 2010, which left more than 200,000 dead and 1.5 million displaced. At the time, Veerhouse Voda had to ship materials in from other countries. While the benefit was still great, the company opted to build a factory in Port au Prince, which opened prior to hurricane Matthew striking. This measure drastically improved response times and made it possible to construct even faster.
Although Matthew did not impact the country to the same degree as the earthquake did, and all of Veerhouse Voda’s structures survived the incident, the hurricane was a somber reminder that many of Haiti’s homes are simply not built to withstand such forces. Certain areas of the country were completely destroyed; an issue Veerhouse Voda aims to correct with its affordable and strong structures. By starting families off with emergency structures, which can later be converted into permanent housing, topped off with solar and water treatment centers, the Veerhouse Voda system can literally save lives, both before and after a natural disaster.
