New York, United States – October 26, 2016 /PressCable/ —
Veerhouse Voda clients are among the lucky few who do not have to seek shelter in Haiti in the wake of hurricane Matthew. While many are searching for and constructing disaster housing, buildings constructed using the Veerhouse Voda system held strong throughout the storm, providing a 100% structural survival rate.

A 100% survival rate of Veerhouse Voda structures is significant, as Matthew tore through the region with wind speeds exceeding 145 miles per hour. News outlets report that more than 2.1 million people have been affected by the storm. Thousands of homes have been destroyed and the death toll now exceeds 1,000 people. Tall piles of residual rubble from collapsed and torn-down homes now litter neighborhoods across once vibrant areas of south-western Haiti. Locals say the scene is much like wreckage caused by the earthquake that struck the country just six years ago.
Following the 2010 earthquake, Veerhouse Voda first came to Haiti with the goal to help the country rebuild swiftly, as well as to ensure that the quality of structures did not suffer while emergency shelter and disaster recovery housing was erected. The company constructed numerous structures, including those for living and community needs, using a unique process that involves framing a building with lightweight steel and constructing walls of expanded polystyrene foam. These buildings go up 4-5 times quicker than a traditional structure and become very robust after the company’s proprietary mortar is applied to the walls.

The company has since opened a local factory, which also survived Matthew unscathed, thus allowing it to create structures even more quickly and affordably.
“Creating this factory has been a struggle,” says company head Brendon Brewster. “We know what struggle means as do the Haitian people. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the Haitian people to assist in their time of need ready to provide emergency shelters and other environmentally friendly fast build homes, schools, hospitals and churches.” In the wake of hurricane Matthew, “We are perfectly positioned to make an even bigger difference in the lives of Haitians,” Brewster adds.
