How long does it take to rebuild housing after a wildfire? We analyzed property-level data from four recent disasters to illustrate the speed at which communities rebuild (and some of the reasons why):

PD&R also provides/manages all HUD's spatial data hudgis-hud.opendata.arcgis.com

Archive what you can now, but if there's current data on e.g. *where* subsidized households are living, then supporting HUD's fair housing mission is impossible.

Adding this to my housing class syllabus as we are currently covering the 14th Amendment, Reconstruction, the Homestead Acts, and (im)migration. I usually cover this in the second part of the semester along with readings on residential segregation, but given current events, I re-did the syllabus

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

NEW — OMB temporarily pauses all agency grants and loans programs.
Per copy of memo: "The use of Federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and green new deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve."

I have read a bit about the affordability challenges of mobile home parks, but have not seen any research on houseboats. Some similar challenges here about the ownership of land/docks but perhaps the boats are easier to move to a temporary location at least for a short while
