Building Equity into Federal Investments for Housing Resilience

The offical event page with registration link can be found here.

Growing federal efforts to make housing and communities more resilient to disasters, especially climate-related hazards, often devalue people and undervalue and/or overlook the possessions of people of low wealth and communities of color. In this talk, Carlos Martín, the new director of the Center’s Remodeling Futures Program, will examine this issue and how it might be addressed. Martin – who has been a senior fellow at the Urban Institute, a senior research professor in energy and environment at Arizona State University, and coordinator for HUD’s Partnership for Advanced Technology in Housing -- will discuss some current projects as well as work he did at the Urban Institute on how to make these programs more equitable.
