Join today’s (8/12) national HoUSed campaign call from 2:30 to 3:30 pm ET to learn about the disaster housing recovery needs of the lowest-income renters! Noah Patton and Meghan Mertyris of NLIHC’s Disaster Housing Recovery, Resilience, and Research initiative will lead a discussion about federal responses to the housing needs of disaster survivors and the reforms necessary for fixing our broken disaster recovery system. Whitney Bailey, a disaster response attorney with AppalReD Legal Aid, will provide an overview of the impacts of disasters on housing stability for the lowest-income renters. Andreanecia Morris, executive director of Housing Louisiana, will discuss grassroots disaster housing recovery efforts. We will also receive disaster housing policy updates and learn about next steps. Register for the call.
