Abstract:
This research is conducted under the authority of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to undertake research and studies related to HUD’s mission and programs (12 USC 1701z-1 et seq.). Findings from various studies illustrate that renters are underprioritized compared to homeowners in terms of recovery program opportunities (Wilson et al., 2021). Renters have fewer disaster assistance options than homeowners (Mickelson et al., 2019) leading to longer-term displacement (Fussell and Harris, 2014). Additionally, disasters disrupting rental housing markets can permanently displace renters (Wilson et al., 2021), increase rents (Dillon-Merrill et al., 2018; GAO, 2010), affect long term availability (Dillon-Merrill et al., 2018; Sheldon and Zhan, 2019), cause post-disaster displacement , particularly for residents relying on housing vouchers (Hamideh and Rongerude, 2018; Vinogradasky, 2009), and result in displaced renters being less likely to return to their original places of residence (Levine et al., 2007; Hori and Schafer, 2010; Fussell and Harris, 2014). This research addresses the HUD issued NOFO (FR-6600-N-29A) to “improve disaster recovery effectiveness for renter households by examining the disaster recovery outcomes of renter households and rental housing stock in places that received Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery grants (CDBG-DR).” . This research objectives aim to (1) better understand CDBG-DR allocations across housing tenure, specifically for renters, (2) identify successful processes with corresponding outcomes for rental housing recovery aid programs, (3) engage with and link disaster recovery strategies and programs to actual and desired outcomes amongst renters from their lived experiences, and (4) translate this research into actionable programmatic recommendations with appropriate timelines, policy making and implementation changes to improve these outcomes. HORNE LLP is managing this research under a cooperative agreement. The purpose of this research is to involve both renters and property owners who have experienced disasters, aiming to capture their firsthand experiences and gain deeper insights into their specific needs and challenges. The overall goal of this study is to collaboratively devise targeted intervention strategies, implemented through CDBG-DR, to comprehensively address the needs of renters whose homes have been damaged or destroyed, thereby enhancing future disaster recovery efforts.

Short Statement:
With the use of mixed methods, spatial and historical data, we will develop a deeper understanding of rental housing dynamics in disaster recovery. The primary research data collection activities for this study include up to 150 qualitative interviews with renters, rental property developers and landlords; collect up to 235 responses to surveys; and hold up to 5 focus groups for a total of 50 participants. HORNE LLP is responsible for the collection and analysis of this information. All data collection activities will be led by HORNE LLP to manage and leverage support from research partners including the University of Central Florida Center for Public and Nonprofit Management, the University of Florida Shimberg Center, and the Florida Housing Coalition. The University of Florida’s Shimberg Center staff will identify renters affected by disaster events and conduct interviews to identify their needs across the entire recovery timeline. The University of Central Florida’s Center for Nonprofit Management (CPNM) will work with community-based organizations located in South and Central Florida targeting low-income populations. The Florida Housing Coalition will identify affordable multifamily property owners who applied to Rebuild Florida and to Florida Housing Finance Corporation’s (FHFC) various programs for post-disaster rehab and redevelopment after Hurricanes Matthew, Irma and Michael. Additionally, HORNE will communicate and report findings with HUD’s Office of Policy Development and Research. The findings from this research are expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of social equity implications concerning the utilization of disaster assistance funds, specifically exploring its correlation with disaster outcomes for households renting their residences.
