Accessible Housing Struggles for People with Disabilities After Disasters
Devastating wildfires in Southern California have disrupted thousands of lives, including those of vulnerable people who continue to search for a place to call home.
After a wildfire in Los Angeles County's Altadena community, Retha De Johnette, who runs an assisted-living facility, never expected the disabled residents to remain displaced nearly a year later.
They're spread out all over, in all kinds of random places right now, and it's pretty devastating,she said.
People with disabilities often find themselves in temporary lodging that offers a roof but lacks a safe, customized environment after disasters. This can result in dangers and difficulties, such as navigating unfamiliar rental housing with dangerous stairways instead of accessibility-friendly ramps.
Residents may spend weeks or months in such conditions, highlighting the need for accessible housing solutions after disasters.
