Housing units attached to Marsh Harbour’s healthcare centre have been restored. The units, which previously housed essential medical personnel and staff, were badly damaged by Dorian in the fall of 2019. Essential workers have been living in RVs and trailers since. GER3, with the support of Direct Relief and Discovery Land Company Foundation, restored the six housing units, ensuring they are ready for personnel to return and are better prepared to withstand future storms.
At the same time, GER3 is leading another housing rehabilitation and capacity building project in Abaco. Despite great work by various housing support initiatives after Dorian, many homeowners are still very much in need of assistance, especially as they face another hurricane season. GER3's project is rehabilitating eight vulnerable homes and incorporating several capacity building events for local community members to learn new techniques for building back better. Generous donors are supporting GER3 to undertake this community recovery work through September 2021.
