As the coronavirus adds to the mounting pressure of our community’s housing needs, many states, counties and cities are looking for instantaneous solutions, hard to come by in these days of constrained land use. Cities, churches and shelters are partnering up to institute retrofitted shipping containers that quickly add housing solutions, complete with beds, bathrooms and showers. With many of our stakeholders struggling to find land, these slim 8’x20′, 8’x40′, and 8’x45’ configurations can fit narrow spaces and can be stacked vertically with corresponding bolt-assembly modular stair systems. Arriving fully equipped and furnished, multiple dwellings reduce site construction costs because they’re built off site and do not require footings. Easily dropped into place and connected to a utility system, their use is either permanent or temporary with use of generators and water tanks. Fire rated applications allow the containers to be adjacent to existing facilities without additional building upgrades.
