Enhancing Refugee Housing Solutions Annual Housing Needs Assessment Report: Resettlement Network | FY 2026
This report shares the results of the first of two annual needs assessments conducted by RHS in FY 2026, targeting the resettlement network to analyze housing trends and challenges for ORR-eligible populations.
For the past two years, RHS has administered two annual surveys: one to resettlement agencies and another to a broader group of partners serving ORR‑eligible populations. Together, these surveys provide a national snapshot of emerging housing trends, housing-related challenges, and promising practices. The questions are designed to capture the challenges organizations face, the innovative strategies they are developing, and the opportunities that exist to enhance program efficiency and improve housing outcomes.
This report covers findings from the first annual needs assessment for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026, which surveyed the resettlement network. Additional findings and analysis from past needs assessment surveys are detailed in the FY 2024 and FY 2025 reports.
