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.

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).
