Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, the housing lease program for disaster victims supplied over 60,000 private rental houses that serve as temporary housing. The number of houses has exceeded the number of newly constructed units of prefabricated temporary housing. To examine actual situations of this program, a questionnaire survey was conducted with residents who live in leased houses in Sendai City. The following results were obtained: (1) Residents applied to this program because they had immediate needs for conveniently located housing. (2) The majority of residents were able to acquire adequate housing. However, some large families, residents who applied during the early stages, and residents who originally lived in remote areas received inadequate housing. (3) Many residents would prefer to remain in their current housing, but many may be unable to pay the current rental costs.
