Temporary Housing

​

​

Temporary Housing could be interpreted as either a place used for accommodation for a limited time, or, housing which won’t last long. The former occurs frequently such as in University towns with large steady turnover making rentals a primary industry for the town. Housing that will not last long is controversial.

 

Temporary Housing is mostly known for accommodating refugees from natural disasters, or for people who have escaped war zones, for which emergency management organizations render life’s essentials as best they are able to where needed and at short notice. Unless help is not available at which point aid agencies, charities and non-profits, locals and United Nations react as they will.

 

If shelter is needed the range created is huge though largely unknown to most of us until doing a search for images of Temporary Housing. Katrina’s devastation  produced many contributions and effort including FEMA releasing trailers for Temporary Housing. Demolished lumber from Hurricanes and Tornadoes piles high. Reusable lumber salvaged from mostly previously stick-built swiftly reassembled using frameX along with new lumber arriving soon templated, braced & bolted, raising shelter - temporarily up on stilts if needed - all are options.

​

Salvaging all usable lumber from destroyed properties, utilizing the same lumber easily for temporary shelter commences when conditions permit. In addition, shipped in pre-templated and not. Being templates 'the know how travels lightly, assembly confirms the how to, while the crisis encourages Best Practices'.

​

Adding reutilization of scores of lengths of lumber per collapsed home enables pragmatic effort of purposeful doing to aid those made homeless using salvaged resources available to them alongside tools and materials which will arrive.  Shelter, water, food and energy makes for all the differences in our world.

 

When Agencies respond, their lists of active measures will be second to none, though in many instances there will be none.

​

Temporary Housing aid via templated method means that emergency relief can come from many directions, any and all willing to support providing lumber and the tools can do, in rapid organized response.

​

frameX as Temporary Housing is also eminently suited to become permanent, frameX can be reconfigured  ie removed, relocated & reused + added to, modified & easily customized.
