What You Will Learn

When an emergency is over and displaced people want to return to the area, their house may be destroyed, their land may be occupied by others, or it may have even been sold. This short, interactive guide is designed to help first responders working in shelter, WASH, Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM), livelihoods, and protection better understand housing, land, and property (HLP) challenges in emergencies.

Learn key tips to address HLP issues to secure tenure, prevent disputes among displaced people, and to help establish long-lasting solutions for communities affected by conflicts or disasters.
