The health and stability of a community’s housing is one of the greatest determining factors in determining resilience and according to Dr. Comerio,* housing recovery is a core component for any disaster recovery effort. In fact, the ‘Social Vulnerability Index’ (SVI)* lists household composition and disability; and housing and transportation as two of the four index domains. As such, divergent considerations around long and short-term disaster housing recovery and mitigations are critical and significant.

In support of communities that are forward-thinking and innovative, the Kauri Foundation has the resources to team up with green energy experts and educators to assist communities to implement green energy development such as solar and wind micropower generations and heating systems utilizing geothermal energy to further build their resilience. Our more effective home system design allows each green-living home system to best suit communities from the start. With the ability to be stacked together and customized from the first day of construction, Kauri Foundation’s homes stand apart.

No longer do families have to compromise on functionality, comfort for those with mental and physical impairments, and both interior and exterior beauty for cost. Kauri Foundations’ scalable, secure homes allow communities in disaster and crisis-stricken locations to quickly and easily rebuild; forming vibrant, transformative neighborhoods and business districts wherever they are needed!
