This issue features articles that examine the disproportionate impacts of climate disasters on marginalized communities, highlighting tenant-led climate advocacy efforts, and spotlighting ongoing recovery struggles in places like Hawaii and Puerto Rico. From in-depth interviews with policy experts and tenant leaders, to a look at the documentary Razing Liberty Square, the publication will dive into the human side of climate displacement and resilience. Readers will also find updates on federal housing policy, including recent HUD staff cuts, as well as the latest research on climate-related housing challenges. Throughout, this issue centers tenant voices and underscores the urgent need for equitable, affordable, and climate-resilient housing and recovery efforts.
