The result is a community that is less economically diverse and likely to face serious workforce challenges in the coming years as it seeks to compete in one of the fastest-growing regions of the nation.

The lessons learned can serve to inform individuals and communities recovering from natural disasters across the U.S. Read the full report | See all affordable-housing-related articles Share this Neighborhood revitalization Affordable housing Subscribe for email alerts Quick links Global Institute Building Wealth Banking blog Communities blog Economics blog Visit us Publications About us Transparency Holiday schedule Careers Office of Minority and Women Inclusion Contact us Frequently asked questions Locations and teams Media relations Vendors and suppliers Website feedback Stay informed Get analysis, research, resources and event information delivered directly to your inbox.
