Seventy-three percent of households lived in residential buildings – either regular apartments/houses or in concierge rooms –while 9% lived in non-residential structures, such as work sites, garages, farms and shops. Seventeen percent occupied improvised shelters within informal tented settlements .

Refugees are missing the shelter that protect them from the heat of summer and the cold of winter. This has negatively impacted the health of the refugees. In addition, there is a lack of privacy between the tents because of the semi-transparent material used to build the tent.The insulation material will cost 300 dollars for 1000 vulnerable Syrian refugee – Turkey households. This material keeps the heat inside the tent in the winter and cool air in the summer. The  insulation also prevents heat leakage .
