Each new unit costs approximately $30,000 to build and contains all the comforts one could want in a home.

“We’re able to build a 20-foot shipping container into a home that has a shower, a toilet, a sink with a kitchenette, hot water heater baseboards, sleeping platform with storage underneath and above. Two windows, a door and we always put a large deck that’s partially covered so that it increases the living area,” Davis explains.

The amount of donations and discounts the non-profit society receives helps these units become a reality for the unhoused. The project is done without any government funding and instead relies on the generosity of the public and skilled workers donating their time.
