Description

Concerns over FEMA’s provision of temporary housing assistance, including travel trailers at group sites, after the 2005 hurricanes led to the development of the National Disaster Housing Strategy. This report assesses: (1) the challenges households faced in transitioning to permanent housing; (2) the extent to which FEMA measured its performance in closing and transitioning households in group sites; (3) the strategy's effectiveness in defining FEMA's roles and responsibilities for closing and transitioning households in group sites; and (4) the alternatives to travel trailers in group sites and how well the strategy assessed them. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
