Sleek Apartments Made Of Shipping Containers To House Homeless Vets
(HUFFINGTON POST) Potter’s Lane will be California’s first shipping-container apartment building.
A bold new solution for homelessness is rising in California’s Orange County.
On September 21, the nonprofit organization American Family Housing set up the first of 54 shipping containers that will provide housing for homeless veterans in Midway City, Calif., the Los Angeles Times reported. Once they’re stacked and connected, the containers will form a sleek two-story residence with 16 units.
Called Potter’s Lane, the residence will be California’s first shipping-container apartment building. It is expected to be completed by January.
“We are not putting people in shipping containers,” American Family Housing CEO Donna Gallup told the Times. “We are putting them in housing — very energy-efficient, very structurally strong, very beautiful multifamily housing.”
