Post-Disaster Housing

Our Approach

Returning displaced families to permanent housing is one of the most urgent and complex challenges of disaster recovery. This process requires coordinated, community-wide efforts to address immediate needs while also planning for long-term, sustainable housing solutions. We provide comprehensive post-disaster housing services, offering expert guidance and resources to help communities navigate the complexities of recovery. From immediate sheltering and temporary housing to permanent housing needs, we support clients every step of the way, ensuring safe, equitable, and resilient outcomes. 

Our Post-Disaster Housing Services 

  • Immediate Sheltering and Temporary Housing: We develop plans to provide displaced individuals with safe, accessible, and culturally sensitive accommodations. By collaborating with agencies like the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and others, we secure resources and implement programs such as Transitional Sheltering Assistance (TSA), congregate sheltering, and non-congregate sheltering, ensuring communities receive the support they need during critical recovery phases. 
  • Housing Needs Assessments: We conduct comprehensive assessments to understand the scale and scope of housing needs after a disaster. By identifying gaps in existing housing stock and infrastructure, we help prioritize recovery efforts, ensuring that limited resources are allocated where they will have the greatest impact. 
  • Long-Term Housing Solutions: Our team designs and implements permanent housing recovery programs, including rebuilding, rehabilitation, elevation, downpayment and closing cost assistance, new construction, and buyout projects. We also integrate hazard mitigation strategies to create safer, more resilient homes that support long-term community recovery. 
  • Funding and Grant Support: We assist clients in accessing and implementing programs such as FEMA Individual Assistance (IA), HUD Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR), and other federal and state resources. We also leverage “blue sky” housing resources such as Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC)/HOME/Section 108 loan securitizations and more, ensuring compliance with funding requirements, maximizing reimbursement, and preventing delays. 
  • Policy and Program Development: We develop pre- and post-disaster housing recovery policies, procedures, and frameworks tailored to local needs and regulations, helping communities address housing challenges effectively. Additionally, we provide expert guidance on equitable housing practices, prioritizing vulnerable and underserved populations to foster resilient outcomes. 
  • Public Engagement and Stakeholder Coordination: Our professionals facilitate collaboration among government agencies, non-profits, developers, and community stakeholders to align housing recovery goals and foster unified efforts. Through active community outreach initiatives, we ensure transparency and inclusivity, strengthening trust and recovery decision outcomes.
