Rebuilding the tsunami-affected regions will continue long into the future. Water, electricity, sanitation and other infrastructure and services are yet to be completed. Schools, community centers and clinics are needed. In some communities, because of their remoteness or delays in obtaining land, Habitat is only now able to begin constructing houses.

To address the needs, Habitat for Humanity will continue to partner other non-governmental organizations or micro-finance organizations in multi-faceted development programs. Programs that go beyond house construction to provide skills and livelihood development and address water and sanitation needs.

Habitat Resource Center (HRC) is the delivery point for services. They offer a range of small business and training support. These might include small business start-up for block or roof tile production, masonry and carpentry training and certification, construction management, appropriate technology, housing micro-finance and other affordable shelter-related support enterprises. In short, an HRC bridges the housing affordability gap in a community by facilitating the development of local businesses needed to provide simple, decent, affordable homes.

Through HRC, Habitat for Humanity Indonesia will continue to serve the housing needs of families in tsunami-affected regions. HRC factory in Indonesia was just set up in Meulaboh for concrete block machine production. The capacity for this machine can produce 17,000 block piece per day. Aside from producing concrete block machine, this factory will also produce other appropriate technology and other affordable shelter-related support and provides livelihood to the community.
