noun
post-disaster public-funded rental accommodation
A type of temporary housing provided after a disaster where the government rents existing private apartments for evacuees, rather than building new temporary housing units. Used in Japanese disaster relief contexts.
震災後、多くの被災者がみなし仮設住宅に入居した。
After the earthquake, many disaster victims moved into post-disaster public-funded rental accommodation.
みなし仮設住宅の供給が追いついていない。
The supply of post-disaster public-funded rental accommodation is not keeping up.
Refers to temporary housing in general, including newly built units. みなし仮設住宅 specifically means using existing private rental housing as temporary accommodation.
Compound of みなし (deemed, regarded as) and 仮設住宅 (temporary housing). The term reflects the legal fiction that private rental units are treated as temporary housing for disaster relief purposes.
