Be part of the movement towards creating affordable housing solutions for everyday Americans. Help make an impact.

One of the most innovative solutions is Post-Disaster Temporary Housing Units made from

repurposed shipping containers.

Advantages to This Solution

Immediate Shelter for Families and First Responders

Pre-staged and ready for deployment, these units can house individuals within 2-3 weeks—a fraction of the 5+ month wait time under current government programs. Keeping families in their communities fosters social cohesion, enhances access to support networks, and promotes healthy recovery for the entire region.

Speed and Versatility

These durable, adaptable units can be quickly deployed to various disaster zones without the need for wide-load escorts, ensuring fast, reliable shelter where it’s needed most.

Sustainability

By repurposing shipping containers, we reduce waste and environmental impact. Collaborations with institutions like the University of Florida enhance designs with sustainable materials and energy-efficient innovations.

Cost Savings

Built to last, these durable and reusable units significantly reduce long-term costs for FEMA, the government, and taxpayers. They can be returned, repaired, and redeployed for future disasters—minimizing transportation and installation expenses.
