"Decentralized is Beautiful"

What does "decentralization" mean in Housing?
What is a Frame-Truss designed house?
The Squatter Settlement Community Center.

The Foundation has built a Community Center in Guatemala, similar in many respects to that shown here in a CAD version. The 20'x28', 560 sq.ft building is located in the new village of Los Limones, near El Triunfo and Gualan, in the State of Zacapa. The building was erected with the help of villagers in the areas nearby . Such Community Center projects are also planned in the near future for both Jamaica and Haiti..
