Why we are studying household resilience
Most households eventually experience disruptions such as job loss, illness, caregiving responsibilities, housing challenges, emergencies, or major life transitions.
We are exploring the factors that help households absorb these shocks, adapt, and continue functioning effectively.
The Household Resilience Check is an evolving framework designed to generate insight while collecting feedback from participants.
The framework

Savings, income stability, long-term goals
Health Resilience
Access to care, managing health needs
