> Meanwhile, NGOs have begun to collect donations for housing
> reconstruction in coordination with the Salvadoran government. USAID
> has given grants to CARE and Cooperative Housing Foundation to build
> 12,000 temporary houses. UNDP has donated \$12.7 million for housing
> and reactivation of the rural economy. Spain has donated funds to
> begin the reconstruction of 500 houses at an estimated cost of \$4500
> per 50 square meter house. The government has begun to distribute
> construction materials such as pine boards and galvanized-channeled
> metal sheets to 65,000 families so that they may begin to rebuild
> their homes. Japan and Germany have also expressed interest in helping
> the government in housing reconstruction, and the Inter-American
> Development Bank will grant funds for housing reconstruction.
