Summary:

Reviews traditional FEMA approach for temporary housing and sheltering following a disaster, from sheltering provided by local organizations in the immediate aftermath, to eventual repair and rebuilding or replacement of private homes and rental units. Explains each form of assistance and explores alternatives under development. Considers options for the 111th Congress to improve disaster housing, including increased FEMA/HUD cooperation, the use of the case management authority, the repair and renovation of private rental housing units, and the use of alternative manufactured housing.
