Who Gets Emergency Housing Relief? An Analysis of Fema Individual Assistance Data After Hurricane María
In the months after Hurricane María’s devastation of Puerto Rico, press outlets and advocacy groups documented how Puerto Rico’s experience with housing repair and reconstruction programs was rife with complaints and inconsistencies regarding approval of applications and denial of support, especially among vulnerable communities.
