The objective was to pull together what social science research had found out, and also did not know about the problem. The implications drawn and observations made were to be those primarily applicable to American peacetime disasters. For particular households, sheltering generally precedes housing, and emergency sheltering precedes temporary housing, which precedes permanent housing. However, organizations assisting victims may find themselves concurrently involved with different phases of sheltering and housing. This study provides a summary of the full report on the research
