Differences in Homes of Hope Dominican Republic vs. Mexico

20 x 20 larger house vs. 16 x 20 in Mexico. Dominican Republic
culture needs separate bedroom for children.

Cement board siding. Flame resistant and vapor barrier. Much much more
humidity here.

Vented in roof for air circulation.

Metal roof for climate durability. Hurricanes rip off shingles.

Louverd shutter windows For ventilation.

Door frame metal. Easier to find metal supplies than wood.

Taller slab. Can anchor walls deeper for hurricanes. Also helps with moisture.
