Haiti creating home loan system for middle class first time home buyers

Haiti's struggle to rebuild homes. A few members of Haiti's small middle class will be able for the first time to get a mortgage.Haitian President Michel Martelly has launched his own housing program. Dubbed Kay Pa'm — Haitian Creole for "my own house" — it aims to provide mortgages to first-time homeowners who belong to Haiti's middle class.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Haiti's struggle to rebuild homes for hundreds of thousands of quake victims may be giving the impoverished nation something it has never had: loans to help people buy them. If efforts by international donors and local agencies succeed, at least a few members of Haiti's small middle class will be able for the first time to get a mortgage. Some of the efforts reach even further, offering micro-mortgages for families who make as little as $150 a month.

Entrepreneur develops low-cost housing solution for Haiti

A million Haitians remain homeless after last year's devastating earthquake, but entrepreneur Terry Ball has a solution to help put roofs over their heads faster.

When the quake hit Haiti 18 months ago, Ball's company, Innovative Composites International, was developing lighter, more affordable and air-tight shipping containers. He and his team of engineers quickly saw the opportunity to use the same technology to construct low-cost homes.

Ball thought ICI's storage units could be used to build continuous wall sections that were well-sealed, energy-efficient and could withstand climate conditions in Haiti, particularly hurricanes and earthquakes.
