This forum will explore the ways that the affordable housing crisis, nationwide housing shortages, insurance policies, and the distribution of recovery aid can intersect to leave ever growing numbers of people at risk of added harm. Panelists will examine policies that might be amplifying the risk of permanent dislocation or homelessness among affected populations and highlight new strategies meant to lessen vulnerability. This forum will also discuss novel approaches to providing culturally appropriate housing as a community priority during post-disaster recovery.
