In this Wednesday, June 12, 2019 photo, shows the kitchen and dining area of Scenacia Jones' home in Houston, constructed as part of an innovative program that builds houses after natural disasters. The housing program, known as Rapido, Spanish for fast, uses pre-built materials to construct a core structure the size of mobile home and lets families live in this core while the rest of the house is completed.
