America's disaster housing response and recovery system is broken and in need of major reform. When disasters strike, the lowest-income survivors are often hardest hit, have the fewest resources, and face the longest, steepest path to recovery.

The result is a disaster housing response and recovery system that exacerbates and reinforces racial, income, and accessibility inequities at each stage of response and recovery.
