Yesterday Thursday, opened the Exhibition of Prototype Houses and the technology site, Green environment to the Zoranger, were present the President of the Republic, Michel Martelly, former U.S. President Bill Clinton, the outgoing Prime Minister Jean Max Bellerive, and members of government.

More than sixty houses are exposed on the site, the architecture is varied and the methods of construction non-traditional, all the houses presented meet seismic standards and will be accessible to the middle class.

Bill Clinton, co-President of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC) welcomed the willingness and commitment of government and of the society to want to rebuild the Haitian society, he also took the opportunity to give his congratulations for the program Kay Pa'm. He announced the construction of 400 houses for workers in the free zone of Cap-Haitien.

Michel Martelly, for his part declared "This expo of the Haitian habitat deserves our admiration for the effort it represents, to all those who have put the best of themselves, to all local and foreign companies involved in the project, on behalf of the Haitian people, my warmest thanks", he also took the opportunity to return on the program Kay Pa'm "...Today we take this opportunity to inform all those working in the private sector, in the public service, police officers, to all employees of the state you can go to the BNC or BPH for a loan to build your house there is USD$100 million available for this in an account, today the President Michel Martelly tells you that the bank has money to lend you, the house models are here, they are paraseismic..."

It is important to note that for the moment no projects are really dedicated for the small pockets,

whatever the project : project 400% https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-3175-haiti-reconstruction-400-houses-built-in-100-days.html or the program Kay Pa'm https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-3411-haiti-reconstruction-the-program-kay-pa-m-is-launched.html or Expo habitat Zoranje, although some houses are in the USD$20.000, but the problem is to have an capacity to access credit, therefore, have a stable employment with adequate paid which is not the case for the class "small pockets".
