Joint Housing Solutions Group (JHSG)
Joint Housing Solutions Group (JHSG) :
"In 2006, FEMA launched a Joint Housing Solutions Group (JHSG) charged with identifying viable alternatives to FEMA travel trailers and manufactured homes, and recommending improvements for conducting disaster housing operations. The Joint Housing Solutions Group has developed housing evaluation criteria, a Housing Assessment Tool, and screened, tested and rated more than 100 alternative housing providers and their products ranging from panelized, manufactured, and modular homes to shipping container prototypes. In October 2007, the JHSG released a one year report to identify the milestones of the JHSG Steering Committee. The next step is to pilot test select housing units in order to gauge field performance". (FEMA, Statement of Glenn Cannon, Dec. 4, 2007, p. 8)
