HOMELESS CRISIS HOUSING

Explore our homeless crisis housing: durable, sustainable homes for rapidly rehousing disaster-displaced and homeless residents.

Every night, over 200,000 Americans are left unsheltered and homeless in their communities. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is prioritizing non-congregant, housing-first solutions. Our homeless crisis housing is specifically designed to meet that need.

Our Supportive Housing Process

01

Create the Coalition Stack

We work with nonprofits, public sector agencies, and developers to create our communities. A critical component to starting a project is knowing who the development stakeholders are; the stakeholder stack.

02

Visit our facility

We encourage all of our community partners to come visit our production facilities in order to view the manufacturing of the homes and tour model units.

03

Identify a Site

We support identifying an underutilized county/municipal property or nonprofit-owned property to become a homeless supportive housing community.

04

Design the Community

Once a site is identified and the housing impact is defined, our team will work with an organization to design a community site plan that meets your needs.

05

Apply for
Zoning Approval

When the site plan is completed, the community partner applies to the local zoning and planning office for approval.

06

Secure Funding

Sheltainer Communities can be funded through ARPA, CDBG, ESG, state grants, annual CoC funding, or housing voucher revenue. Financing can also be secured via loans.

07

Manufacture the Homes

Once a site is identified and the housing impact is defined, our team will work with an organization to design a community site plan that meets your needs.

08

Deliver and Install the Units

Once a site is identified and the housing impact is defined, our team will work with an organization to design a community site plan that meets your needs.

Designed With durability in mind

It is common that a major cost of most homeless housing facilities is the required maintenance. Our homeless supportive housing is built with highly durable, Class-A fire-rated, and mold and mildew-resistant materials to decrease the maintenance cost.

LEVERAGE UNDERUTILIZED SPACES

Our homes are designed to work in small, underutilized spaces, such as a vacant infill lot or the corner of a social service office parking lot. No site is too big or too small to become a solution to an on-going and expanding crisis.
