heal.abstract	In the present work we derive and analyze a model considering housing allocation of homeless families due to a natural disaster; we use data from the earthquake of September 1999, in Athens, Greece. We derive a non-linear system of ordinary differential equations and analyze the stability of this system. Also we find an approximate solution of the model for a case study as well as and a numerical solution. Finally we consider possible extensions and improvements of the model making it more realistic.
