Ph.D. student Casie Venable was awarded a 2019 USAID OFDA HFHI Shelter and Settlements Fellowships. She proposes to study friction between local understandings of safe shelter and expert assessments of safe shelter in the Philippines.

The Fellowship will provided funding for Casie to travel to Shelter and Settlements conferences to disseminate her findings and work with organizations in the sector to ensure these findings have a positive impact. Casie is collaboratively co-advised by Abbie Liel and Amy Javernick-Will.

Congratulations, Casie!
