RJ Fishman on Reinventing Emergency Housing and Creating a New Asset Class - EP14
Manage episode 501359718 series 3671889
RJ Fishman, Chief Strategy Officer at Artanis Emergency Communities, joins me to break down a radical new approach to disaster response housing.
After the LA wildfires destroyed over 10,000 homes, RJ and his team asked a bold question: What if private industry could do it better than FEMA?
In this conversation, we cover:
- How “emergency communities” were born
- Why modular housing is now safer and faster than stick-built homes
- The economics of disaster recovery
- Working with state governments in North Carolina, Texas, Florida, and more
- The deeper mission behind providing a real home to families in crisis
RJ also shares how meditation, Judaism, and Sinatra all played a role in shaping the company's vision — and why this new asset class may be the future of affordable housing.
