Container Housing to the Rescue...Again

Two-story MODS exhibit at a recent event

Pre-fab container homes are being shipped to Moore, Oklahoma.  Transportable, affordable temporary housing shipped out to the victims of Hurricane Sandy too. Factory-manufactured dwellings have a long history and promising future of coming to the rescue wherever emergency shelter is needed.

In this particular instance, the spotlight is on MODS. Each 320 square foot, 8' wide by 40' long unit comes furnished. They remind me of railroad flats typical of any urban mecca. MODS are watertight and can withstand winds up to 200 mph. They can be moved several times without risking structural integrity. These babies, built for transport, are solid and strong!

Not just for temporary housing, MODS are multi-functional. Whether placed singly or stacked up to 7 units high, MODS are another expression of small-space streamlined living.
