Interviewer instructions
Most of the categories identified in the responses to this question are self-explanatory and need not be defined. But please note:
6. Abode Is un-burnt sun-dried bricks or the clay from which such bricks are made. This material is hardly ever used in buildings in St. Lucia.
7. Makeshift Includes any material which is not normally used for housing e.g. galvanize, cardboard, etc. Some persons may use an old car/truck, for example, to provide shelter; or live under a bridge or other unconventional dwelling structure. These persons are to be included in this category. Be sure to write the answer given in the space supplied
8. Other/Don’t Know As noted before this category is to be used as a last resort.
