In developed nations, housing the homeless can be done by using construction in place for repurposing. The primary method...shipping containers! This is a very ingenious use of construction redirected for good purpose.

Though not a requirement, for those who care to read more, this Los Angeles times source explains more.

In Orange County, shipping containers are the latest idea when it comes to quickly housing the homeless. American Family Housing is creating a two-story, 16-unit apartment building out of shipping containers that once carried goods from China across the ocean. “We are putting them in housing — very energy-efficient, very structurally strong, very beautiful multifamily housing. It happens to be that the materials that will build that housing are shipping containers,” said the group’s chief executive Donna Gallup. Los Angeles Times

This is a great example of the innovative power of community to meet basic needs and should be a model for allof us to study.

Hi Mike,
I love this idea!! Hopefully it will catch on across the country. Even though I'm not homeless, I would be willing to have a home built out of these. Economic, structurally sound, what more could you ask for!! It sure beats cutting down lots of trees to build houses!!
Thanks for your insight. Have a good evening.
