Abstract
Globally, natural disasters are responsible for displacing thousands of families every year. With the unpredictable aspect and lack of predictability the displacements can last anywhere from a few days to a year. Though there are alternative, short term housing options available, this thesis will aim at deeper examination into the relationship between evacuees and the alternative housing available to them. Specifically focusing on availability, affordability, easy travel access, length of stay and size of space in correspondence with family size. In hopes to then take this research and create a community of rental properties that are primarily used for vacationers during the majority of the year but are only for rent to those facing displacement during the main hurricane season, pricing to vary in correspondence with income and affordability. Specifically permanent structures as there appears to be a lack of permanent relief housing. The question then becomes: How do we create a permanent architectural space that brings comfort for those displaced but also attracts vacationers?
