This panel will discuss the culture, stakeholders, and systems within the United States that respond to meet the longer-term housing needs of displaced populations as climate-amplified disasters increase in size, scope and impact. Given recent severe weather events and the displacement of thousands of vulnerable and medically fragile households suffering home damage, this panel offers perspectives on the underlying causes and gaps in short and longer-term recovery. This panel brings together a selection of non-profit, foundation, university, and commercial practitioners to provide insights on the coordination, relationships, and technology necessary to facilitate housing recovery.
