How about this little gem from their response[0] to the NPR article, where they talk about the "myth" that they call "temporary, or t-shelters, permanent homes."
> In no place has the Red Cross called a t-shelter a permanent home. We consistently refer to the range of housing solutions that the Red Cross has offered in Haiti to provide people safe housing.
So, essentially, they admit that they're not going to call it "permanent housing", but if they include those numbers under the banner of a "range of solutions" then they can continue to make public claims with numbers that look happy.
