Highlights, Case Studies and Lessons Learned from Across the World
As a part of its Vision 2030 agency strategy, CRS has undertaken a transformational shift from a focus on shelter and settlement—the building of roofs and walls—to homes and communities, the foundation on which life rests. CRS is committed to achieving transformational systems‑ level change to reach 10 million people affected by crisis and enable them to live in safe and dignified homes and communities through its two‑pronged approach:
- Expanding CRS programming reach to support more people in need of housing.
- Bringing about systems‑level change by working with key stakeholders—governments, international and local nongovernmental organizations, United Nations agencies and others—to adopt safe and dignified approaches to housing, and scale up our reach.
