Our Purpose
Housing That Helps Communities Recover
The First 72 Hours Are Life or Death: In the midst of a disaster, the priority is saving lives through search, rescue, and emergency medical care.
Tens of Thousands Displaced in Hours: Wildfires, hurricanes, and floods can wipe out entire neighborhoods overnight. In just hours, tens of thousands are forced from their homes.
Recovery Drags On for Years: While rebuilding can take years, survivors cannot wait that long for stability. Families stuck in temporary shelters, motels, or cars are faced with surmounting challenges.
Response Uses
Support Every Stage of Recovery
Factory Built tiny homes can help organizations respond quickly, house people safely, and adapt as recovery needs evolve.
