Report: Huge housing gap for N.J. Sandy victims

The mobile homes would house 1,000 households, according to the report, leaving another 5,500 families or individuals still scrambling to find housing.

Jersey Shore Will Take 10 Years to Rebuild
Ten Years to rebuild smarter, more resilient Jersey Shore, experts say
It will take a decade to rebuild the Jersey Shore, and when it is done its economy may be different and there may be a much smaller population, according to a disaster expert who oversaw the recovery of New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
With the sea level rising, however, it is imperative that the state takes a smarter approach to rebuilding the coast, according to some experts. That may include renovating areas where houses and businesses have long been located, because extreme weather like Hurricane Sandy will likely reoccur.
“We have to seize the day to build a disaster-resilient community,” said Tim Crowley, Region II director of mitigation for the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Using federal standards to elevate structures in flood areas may make rebuilding more expensive, but will lower costs in the long term for homeowners and businesses, Crowley said. “Let’s address the risk if a Sandy-like storm comes in a year or two,” he said.
