Extreme Weather Exacerbates Housing Shortage
• Hurricane Harvey damaged almost 200,000 homes, nearly 2,000 were federally subsidized.
• Hurricane Maria destroyed more than 70,000 homes in Puerto Rico.
• No name storms causing localized flooding, repetitive flood loss areas
• 33 NYC Housing Authority buildings damaged by Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Only 1 rebuild had been completed 5 years later.

Resilience and Energy Assessment of Communities and Housing (REACH) Initiative in the Tampa Bay Region
Lead Technical AdvisorsSponsor
1. Develop consistent frameworks and methods to evaluate plans and community vulnerability; 2. Create standardized approach for mapping affordable housing stock exposure to coastal flooding; 3. Define approaches for assessing housing energy consumption and opportunities; 4. Develop goals for the Tampa Bay Regional Resilience Action Plan; 5. Support updates to local plans; 6. Provide training and technical assistance; and 7. Integrate ALICE (United Way) principles into resilience. REACH Objectives
PlanningResilientHousingBestPractices Requires an integrated approach… 1. Assess vulnerability of affordable housing stock to current and future flood hazards and heat 2. Climate risks and potential impacts are quantitatively acknowledged/defined in Housing Department and all other plans 3. Goals/Strategies in all plans are developed to specifically reduce risks to affordable housing and residents, and address inequities 4. Housing resilience goals/actions are consolidated in your Resilience and Sustainability Action plan
Demographics
• Where is stock doubly vulnerable due to structure type, age, subsidy expiration, etc.?
• Who lives in areas exposed to coastal flooding? Where are people who may be more vulnerable due to low income, age, special needs, etc.?
• Where is affordable housing currently located and vulnerable to flood hazards?
Analysis
Spatial Exposure
• How do these factors combine? Use data to define priorities for plans and programs to support mitigation or adaptation….
Building Characteristics
Housing Vulnerability Assessments: Exposure + Building Characteristics + Demographics
• What are the physical characteristics of housing exposed to coastal flooding?

Fantastic resource for planners. Provides clear process for assessing local plans from a resilient housing context. Specific metrics to assess current status of specific plans, best practices, equity, mitigation tips, ideas to define changes for plan updates, or develop an integrated “housing resilience plan. to
