IOM – Community-based Housing for Displaced Families in Syria
Most IDPs in Syrian government-held areas are “self-settled”, i.e. seek shelter through informal arrangements with host families or in ad-hoc local agreements. This causes problems with host communities. Public services get overstretched and livelihood competition increases. The project provides more viable housing for IDPs in government areas, while ensuring common access to public services and improved livelihood opportunities for IDPs and hosts, thus contributing to community resilience.

Contesto |
Humanitarian needs in Syria have increased exponentially since the beginning of the crisis. Today, 12.21 million persons are estimated to be in need of humanitarian assistance, including 7.6 million IDPs. Water availability has decreased to less than 50 percent of pre-crisis levels, and 11.6 million people are in urgent need of access to clean water and sanitation. 1.2 million Houses are damaged and 83% of Syria’s locations lack electricity. More than half of Syria’s hospitals have been destroyed or badly damaged. 25 percent of schools have been damaged or destroyed, are used as improvised collective shelters, or misused for other purposes. The coping mechanisms of both, IDPs and host communities are being exhausted. 7.6 million Syrians displaced by the war are still living as IDPs inside the country, while around 4.2 have taken refuge outside the country. Roughly half of the IDPs are living in mostly urban areas controlled by governmental forces, and the other half in prevailingly rural areas held by opposition forces. |

Gruppi target |
The primary target group is comprised of 5’750 individuals from the most vulnerable IDP populations living in self-settled camps (13%) and their host communities (87%), with a special focus on female-headed households. |
