I suggested that the homeless be placed with families outside Port au Prince, and the government to pay their hosts for them. I know a lot of Haitians have vacation homes in Haiti, and are living abroad.

You have others who have extra rooms in their houses, and small houses in their yards.

Those homes are empty, so let's rent them for families who have no place to go now. We need shelters for the homeless, and the rainy season is here. I have traveled to some countries where tourists get to stay with local families.

The Department of Tourism checks the homes, and enforces codes.

The owners pay a special tax, and have a nice income.

It is a way to make money, and survive where there are not enough jobs. I do not understand why we cannot do it in Haiti, and the earthquake did not affect the entire country.

We could pay the owners, give money to the homeless monthly, provide supplies, and visit to see if they are OK or need something in particular.

We can support the food depots, hospitals, clinics, and schools with extra supplies to support the newcomers.

We have a bunch of University graduates with no jobs, and should dispatch them all over the place to supervise the massive relocation from the capital.

It can be done, and should be spread all over the country not in one place.
