Luis Perez and his family lost their home following Hurricane Maria in September 2017. The house, like many in Puerto Rico, was a wood structure and not built to survive winds that reached 175 mph in September 2017. Following the storm, Luis, his wife Maria, their three children and two dogs moved into an abandoned schoolhouse in the small mountainside town of Adjuantas. Unable to find a well-paying job, Luis is unsure if or when they will be able to move into a proper home.
