Description

 Housing, Land, and Property Country Case Studies: In May 2017, members
of the Housing, Land, and Property Technical Working Group compiled case
studies on Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Colombia, Cyprus,
Georgia, Moldova and Serbia to learn about what was their experience in
post-conflict settings with tenure security and the path towards
compensation. Housing context, recovery, restitution, compensation, and
cases from the European Court of Human Rights were examined and
shared with the Ministry of ToTs and IDPs.
 Subnational Field Notes: Luhanske Village This month the Shelter Cluster
published field notes about a recent visit to Luhanske village in Bakhmut
Raion in northern Donetsk Oblast. The document summarizes the trends in
damages according to areas where secondary damages are the most
prevalent while including feedback of the beneficiaries who received shelter
assistance.
 Collective Centre Monitoring: In May, the Shelter Cluster collaborated with
several agencies to complete data collection to check up on the status of
Collective Centres. People in Need, the Danish Refugee Council,
Stabilization Support Services, and UNHCR worked with the Shelter Cluster
Team to call, visit, and speak with IDPs and Collective Centre Managers to
find out what is the status of Collective Centers across Ukraine. A high
number of closures were recorded since last year’s update largely related
with lack of resources to maintain the operations of the centers. A
publication of the monitoring is expected in June 2017.
 Escalation of Damaged Homes in May- As noted in the context update, May
was another month where there was an escalation of newly damaged homes
along the contact line. As the conflict calmed down after the flare up of
activities in Avdiivka, the Shelter Cluster has been monitoring the weekly
number of damages reported as explained in its technical guidance note on
the escalation of emergency. If the conflict continues on its current
trajectory, it means that the initial cluster projections for newly damaged
homes will be off by an estimated 577 households causing cumulative
damages to over 1000 households by December 2017. As noted in the chart
below, the cumulative damages has already surpassed the cluster’s initial
projections and puts strains on humanitarian actors to provide acute
emergency and light and medium repairs to newly damaged homes in
addition to homes that were damaged in 2016.
