Cinco aƱos despuĆ©s de que los huracanes Irma y MarĆa daƱaran mĆ”s de 725,000 viviendas, la situaciĆ³n de la vivienda en Puerto Rico es aĆŗn mĆ”s precaria, con un alza de 22% en los precios desde 2018.

Five years after Hurricanes Irma and Maria damaged over 725,000 homes, Puerto Ricoās housing situation has grown more precarious, with prices up 22% since 2018. We review CNEās research on FEMA relief, neighborhood change, displacement and short-term rentals.
We analyze FEMA Individual Assistance data after Hurricane Maria. Poor households were not underserved overall, but they were left with greater unmet housing needs, and those without clear land tenure struggled to access aid.
Using the San Juan Metropolitan Area as a case study, this Lincoln Institute working paper measures how neighborhood change relates to Hurricane Mariaās impacts and the geography of opportunity, to guide where reconstruction spending should go.
