· a greater need for homelessness services is straining shelter systems in some mid-sized and smaller communities, where demand is outpacing shelter capacity. · researchers note there is no single approach to reduce homelessness. · this study advances the understanding of the quantitative and qualitative methods and models used to improve temporary shelter planning. Are there scholarly literature on temporary shelter planning? · while shelter responses in emergencies may follow standard solutions which are rather temporary in nature, considerations as the kind of shelter needed , what materials and design to use, who constructs them and how long they last will differ significantly in each situation. How effective is temporary shelter planning in disaster management? · “interim strategies” identified in this document should be designed with a clear understanding that they are intended to create temporary capacity within the community. A systematic review of available literature using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (prisma) guidelines was conducted. · there are several types of shelter , housing, and alternative facility options for unhoused people, including emergency shelters for extreme weather, emergency/ temporary housing for up to 60 days, and transitional shelters for up to two years, to name a few examples. Do temporary shelters contribute to community resilience and recovery? What types of shelter are available for unhoused people? · this research focuses on the need to build a new shelter community for those displaced to temporary housing. Although there are many challenges associated with displacement to evacuation centers, our research points to two main challenges. To do so requires a variety of short-term solutions, such as temporary , safe shelters or permanent housing options, and long-term policy changes, such as reducing red tape to encourage the development of affordable housing.
