Abstract:
This
project
focused
on
two
major
research
questions,
with
several
sub-‐questions.
The
question
responses
helped
provide
recommendations
for
housing-‐focused
nonprofits
in
disaster-‐prone
areas:
1.
How
do
local
nonprofits
engaged
in
the
provision
of
housing
(like
Habitat
for
Humanity
affiliates)
contribute
to
disaster
response
and
recovery?
2.
What
are
the
existing
assumptions/relationships/networks
between
a
housing
nonprofit,
the
local
emergency
management
agency,
and
their
community
regarding
responding
to
and
recovering
from
disasters?
