J/P HRO is the official camp manager of the Pétionville (PVC) Camp and neighboring Cité Maxo camp. This means that J/P HRO coordinates the activities and services of all within the camps, currently home to approximately 20,000 people displaced after the devastating earthquake in January 2010. The goal of this work is to provide our camp residents the stability and security necessary so that they can find long-term, durable housing solutions for their individual families to move out of camp and into lives they can sustain without relying on external support.
In order to help facilitate this process of returning home, J/P HRO’s Return and Relocations team provides direct support to some of the most vulnerable families to help them move toward rebuilding the life that changed after the earthquake.
J/P HRO’s mission to “Help Haiti Home” requires a great deal of effort and coordination to ensure that each step of the process is managed efficiently and sustainably. We are working to help communities rebuild and return to strong neighborhoods complete with public services and personal support. Together our programs provide comprehensive assistance throughout the process from camp life to independent living back home.
