This analysis compares two policy approaches to the provision of post-earthquake housing in a community near Guatemala City. Two separate housing programs were implemented: 1) a sites and services program that gave new residents an improved lot; and 2) a minimum unit program that provided shelter and a lot. The presentation evaluates the history, social organization, physical improvement, and social change related to each housing program, and discusses the differences in terms of community development.
