Abstract
This thesis explores housing dynamics in the context of shocks and understanding its impact on the housing sector, the well-being of communities, and the development of its citizens. It investigates the localized effect of extreme weather events on communities and individuals, the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic-induced eviction moratoria expiration on public health, and the influence of house flipping practices on neighborhood stability and housing affordability. This study sheds light on the critical role of housing stability in overall quality of life and societal progress, highlighting the pressing need for informed decision-making and policy formulation in the face of evolving challenges. The findings present implications for public health, climate resilience, neighborhood stability, and housing outcomes, contributing to the existing knowledge and paving the way for comprehensive housing systems that foster individual and societal well-being and prosperity.
