Lifesaving assistance to returnees in Seif Ad Dawleh-Aleppo Rescate aims to rehabilitate 150 apartments in Seif Ad Dawleh neighborhood in Aleppo Governorate.
Rescate will coordinate with Aleppo governorate and municipality council in Seif Ad Dawleh to have the lists of the green categorized apartments and ensure the ownership or tenants records are verified and carry out the engineering works immediately.

The Targeted Groups in this project will be the owners and tenants in their partially damaged apartments. The beneficiary family could be either a family who was displaced earlier and would like to return back home, or a family that never left home.
Scope of response includes:

I.	Repair of partially damaged private apartments,
II.	Link rehabilitated apartments with public services outlets, which will be repaired via the integrated intervention in the pilot areas.


Selection Process amp Criteria

The selection process include three main pillars based on the integrated intervention by all parties:

1.	1. Zone selection: the area, which, will be targeted with this response, has to be cleared from all kind of UXOs and mines and declared as safe area, where its displaced population can go back to their homes.
2.	2. Building selections: will be the responsibility of the relevant authorities,(Governorate and/or MoLA).Selected buildings are partially damaged and structurally safe
3.	3. Family selection: will be the responsibility of the relevant authorities, (Governorate and/or MoLA). The family shall have legal entitlements to occupy the apartment, so it will be either owners or tenants.
Rescate will coordinate closely with the formal authorities who committed to provide to the concerned working entity (Rescate) a list of beneficiaries, specifying families and apartments location. With this list, Rescate assumes no responsibility towards structural safety of the buildings instead, for family’s eligibility Rescate can conduct a second round of verification. This exercise aims to check beneficiaries’ compatibility to the selection criteria, and accordingly define accepted beneficiaries out of the lists.
In case Rescate doubts the structural stability of a building, we will officially refer back to the Governorate for an official recommendation. This referral will take place prior to implementation of any intervention. Through coordination within the sector, sub-national sector, and authorities, Rescate will try to best extent possible to have its project as comprehensive as possible, so it will try to address the complete zone of one street. The scale of the zone is chosen depending on the fund available for this project’s phase.
