Center of Excellence in Capacity-building for REsilient Housing
CECREH works across disciplines, institutions, laboratories, and communities to connect resilient-housing research with the people, technologies, and decisions that shape recovery.
One collaboration advances resilient construction technology. The other combines community knowledge, housing policy, and technical review to strengthen accountability after disaster.
An interdisciplinary research collaboration exploring how computational design, robotic concrete printing, physical testing, and numerical modeling can support disaster-resilient wall systems.
Explore the RAMP initiative
A community-based study examining homeowner experiences, construction quality, inspection and oversight practices, and accountability in federally funded recovery housing programs.
Explore the Harvey studyCECREH collaborations are designed around the problem being addressed. Engineering and architecture partners strengthen design and testing; community organizations contribute lived experience and local knowledge; policy and academic partners connect evidence to implementation.
Bringing engineering, architecture, policy, and social science into a shared research process.
Connecting research questions to prototypes, public records, field evidence, and practical tools.
Recognizing residents and community organizations as essential knowledge partners.
Developing evidence and resources that can strengthen resilient housing decisions.
