NLIHC’s Disaster Housing Recovery Coalition (DHRC) will host a virtual congressional briefing on September 10 to share findings from DHRC’s two-part report, “Fixing America’s Broken Disaster Housing Recovery System.” The report, developed by NLIHC and the Fair Share Housing Center of New Jersey, outlines the barriers to a complete and equitable disaster recovery and recommendations for policy reform.
Panelists will discuss the report’s recommendations, the need for its reforms, and current disaster recovery reform efforts. Speakers include Sara Buck, housing services manager for the City of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Andreanecia Morris, executive director of HousingNOLA; Ariadna Michelle Godreau-Aubert, executive director of Ayuda Legal Puerto Rico; Chrishelle Palay, executive director of Houston Organizing Movement for Equity (HOME) Coalition; David Rammler, attorney at the Fair Share Housing Center of New Jersey; and Trey Reffett, who leads housing and infrastructure legislation for Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI). NLIHC’s Vice President of Policy Sarah Saadian will moderate.
