Many buildings in Hooper Bay were damaged during last weekend's high winds and flooding, but local leaders are trying to find new homes for 22 people displaced by the storm without compromising long-term solutions.
Damage in Hooper Bay, where residents are recovering from a severe Western Alaska storm.
Twenty-three-year-old Brittany Simon, who was living with her grandparents, said that they won’t be able to return home anytime soon. “We went down the next day and we gathered all the photos and important papers and stuff from the house,” Simon said. “When we walked down the hallway it made us feel dizzy, nauseous because it was so slanted.”
Not far from the church, a group of community leaders and officials from the housing nonprofit RurAL CAP gathered at the tribal council building. One of them was William Naneng, the general manager of Sea Lion Corp., Hooper Bay’s village corporation. At the meeting, he said that he was wary about putting people into temporary disaster housing. When a fire destroyed homes and displaced residents years ago, Naneng said that the federal temporary housing provided was inadequate.
