The villagers raised NT $ 1.5 million to buy roughly 6,300 square meters of land on the Minzu Plateau. The Presbyterian Church then provided the NT $ 2 million needed to level the loose, uneven surface of the plateau and World Vision Taiwan undertook the task of building the villagers six shelters, each about 130 square meters in area, free of charge.
於是村民集資 150 萬元買下民族平台 7 分（約 2,100 坪）土地，由台灣世界展望會免費為回鄉者在平台上蓋每間 40 坪、共 6 間的避難屋。由於平台基地的土方鬆軟、地勢崎嶇，還需要夯實填平，長老教會也提供 200 萬元做整地經費。
