Post-Disaster Sheltering and Housing of Hispanics, The Elderly, and the Homeless

这个项目的重点是可以从1989年10月17日洛马普里埃塔地震中吸取的教训。该项目将是地震后避难所和住房的纵向比较案例研究。与非拉美裔社区相比，它将具体解决低收入拉美裔社区的住房/住房需求和问题。该方法将基于对地方、州和联邦官员以及西班牙裔社区组织内部的深入采访。将研究灾后避难和住房的所有阶段。研究地点将是加利福尼亚州的沃森维尔和圣克鲁斯。

This project focuses on lessons that can be learned from the October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. The project will be a longitudinal, comparative case study of sheltering and housing in the aftermath of the earthquake. It will specifically address the sheltering/housing needs and problems of low- income Hispanics as compared to a non-Hispanic community. The methodology will be based on in-depth interviews with local, state, and federal officials and within Hispanic community organizations. All phases of post-disaster sheltering and housing will be studied. The study sites will be Watsonville and Santa Cruz, California.
