About CECREH

The Center of Excellence in Capacity-building for REsilient Housing (CECREH) was established with funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to address the challenges vulnerable communities face in the wake of climate-driven disasters. Housed at Texas Tech University, CECREH brings together a multidisciplinary team of researchers, practitioners, and policy experts to develop data-driven, human-centered solutions.

Our work is grounded in three core pillars:

• 🌪️ Assessing climate risks for under-served communities
• 🏗️ Building capacity for equitable disaster recovery
• 📊 Developing tools and simulations to inform climate-resilient policies

With partnerships across leading institutions and communities, CECREH aims to make resilience and equity central to housing recovery strategies nationwide.
