This is a temporary fix for those who have lost their homes. House-lessness is a different problem entirely. Not just a roof over the head but they need an infrastructure where mental hygiene can be supported. The U.S. treats its mentally ill like dog crap.

Tiny house movement started out affordable. Then greenies took over. Now tiny houses are very high without land. Cheaper to just buy an old house with land & fix it up. God bless.

For 7 years I used a hammock and a tarp. Then added a hunting blind for office space. Then I got a pop-up ice fishing shelter with enough space for both office and sleeping on a cot. I've been using the ice fishing shelter since last year.

Underground houses are pretty interesting too! Safer from Tornadoes, stay warm in the winter, and cool in the summer! Built into the side of an earthen hill!

I loved the dome houses, they look perfect for one person to live comfortable. It would be nice to see those everywhere for those who can only afford very low cost.

Love the domes! Always admired yurts & they are a sturdier more mobile version. Being alone now with exception of a large dog makes these more appealing.

The igloo style looks durable

I’ve been looking at the housing innovations for a while, including the tiny house movement, container homes, homeless shelters, and Vanlife. What I usually see is municipal bylaws who try their hardest to outlaw any humanitarian efforts to house the homeless. If you build it, the NIMBYS won’t let you put it anywhere.

This is an amazing concept. Now go forth and help the homeless and people over the world that NEEDS these.

Love this! They should be all over. These would help so many homeless and low income people. California should get these.

I am going to share this with a group that is looking to create intentional, off-grid communities. My mother studied with R. Buckminster Fuller and I learned about domes 50 years ago. Always wanted one!

Those are great..I say that as a homeless person living in my pos van..shame most states n towns won't let you place them anywhere..

Send these shelters to Haiti as they are in dire need for humanitarian aid.

I commend you for creating these incredible mini homes as they could have many uses.

The dome is an excellent idea. May this company expand and prosper so that the costs are minimalized so that retail prices are kept affordable to the common people. Socially protective groups must become aware of the potential for good that these domes represent.

Totally amazing! So many intelligent people out there with fantastic ideas for supplying shelter! Kudos to ALL!

This is so much better than living in an apartment with neighbors sharing a common wall.

At 3:50 the tent like structure lasting only three years should be banned. The amount of materials used for such a short length of time is an eco disaster. Another point is that I have listened to the prices. I live in a used 29ft holiday trailer and paid only $1800.00 for it. With upgrades I am into it for almost $4000.00 but have lived in it for over 4 years now. I have double the square feet as the shelter at 9:50 of the video, for a fraction of the price. These seem OK, but understand I have a bathroom, fridge and stove, oven, deep freeze, air conditioner, and mega windows including a great picture window, with a rewired 90 amps of power, all in the $4000.00 price mentioned, and live in a serviced year round RV lot. This is more cheap and convenient as I have propane, 110V electrical and 12 Volt, and winter pack all for a fraction of the cost of these setups. I even have hardwood maple as cabinets. I also have an awning for outdoor shade. I am sitting in it now in front of my 65 inch 4K tv writing this post.

At coastal areas like Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, how about decommissioned cruise ship be a place for homeless. All that is needed are there. Bathrooms ,etc . These are for those who want to be helped.no drugs. They must keep the place clean & not horded with crap. Have job training too set up. The cruise ship can be docked in a shipping area not used ,if any are opened out of the way of busy porting of course. Just a thought.

Great video. I love the shelter and modular building content on this channel. Keep up the good work!

This has been an obsession of mine for years. I've built my own home a few times, they're always small and temporary, and each time they get more dialed in. I'm currently living in a great, normal home, but I crave the era of my life when I was young and broke, trying to stay warm while starting a farm on raw empty land. There has to be cheaper options that are more durable than has been provided by these large corporations. I can make greenhouses that are 8x10+ that cost less than $100, and it would be very simple to sheath roofing onto the hoop frame, and even prevent the need to screw it down by throwing ratchet straps over the top to cinch it to the flooring, adding even more structural support during winds. My current design is essentially an A frame, but the peak is reduced down to minimum headspace for a 6'2" person so they can occupy 80% of the floorspace without hitting their head. This would provide the A frame structural surperiority, but also have the top gamble roof be a cap to lock it all into place. My design specification is that it can be made with all off the shelf materials, and then broken down into panels to fit in the back of a small truck, and weigh as little as possible, but not have any plastic exposed to the interior for air quality. I'm achieving most of these parameters with aluminum flashing and 1/2" cedar picket board. I wish I had access to manufacturing of custom panels like IKEA does, that'd make things easier.

The people of Tennessee could use these now. It would be great and idea. 👍🏻

Thanks for posting this, there is such a great need for shelters around the globe. Informative & encouraging information.

The best prefab shelter in this list is at 7:43 called Pallet Shelter: many units can be shipped on one big rig truck, easy to setup, made of aluminum and strong composite walls, has bottom flooring, has windows, units can house two or four beds, cost is under $10K per unit, and built with a key locking door.

The Dome shelter is most practical and can be used for personal off grid getaways. Good Presentation 😎👍

This was very informative.thank you.

Good fast built, temporary shelters, some good for homeless, some better for a project. Thanks for sharing. From East Tennessee

Wow. Thanks for sharing. Had only heard of one of these shelters. Awesome 🤯

Homeless people don’t have $12,000 plus furniture, ground platform and insulation.

I’d like, love, to see a company offer something like these at, or just above, cost.

Good ideas and good solutions ! I like the containers trailers that will be a good protection against earthquake and hurricanes !

Great idea love the dome ones.

Very good show I needed to learn about all that stuff thank you

They would still charge outlandish prices. Governments don't care about helping their citizens they would rather have them paying for anything and everything. Hell of they could get away with it they would charge everyone to breathe.

CGS Tech, Thank you so much 🌼

I like the 'Shift' Pod. Good for camping, and short term living.

And what do we get here in the USA for the homeless, the needy, Tents from Wal-Mart.

Great video and very well done.

AWESOME ALL...LOVE IT...YES YES YES...MORE PLEASE..!!!!!

I watched some firefighters and police officers build a playground this summer. They spent so much time trying to figure who would be the boss and how to read and follow directions. I could see a similar situation happening with these shelters. 😆

I like the domes. There was a company that manufactured dome houses. I always wished. I am able to afford an agricultural land for my sister where we can have dome houses running on solar polar with its own water well and waste recycling system. And her own garden indoor hydroponic gardening. Then she can run her own animal shelter.She is currently,homeless living in her car , unemployed and has a mental disability.

Can you show a video where these shelters are being put to use?

Went camping with my shiftpod mini in the winter and summer it's really a great shelter.

I've been looking at tiny house options for a while, and have always thought "I could live happily in one of thees, but why are they so expensive? I could spend 50% more and buy a mobile home that's 3 times as large." Is something really minimalist if it isn't cost efficient? I'm going to need to give some of these shelters a closer look.

Impressive, this makes me so happy. Finally, affordable options for the homeless, for camps that get people off the street and to begin to build a life. Refugee shelters also that are easier to ship and set up. These are innovative and spectacular!

The Mayor of Los Angeles needs to look into this. Like any shelter have some people watch and facilitate with case management while and teach them to keep clean again with the means to do so. Much better than having them laying in trash in the streets. It should be done to look neat and provide the needs for the homeless till they can do better. By the way every Mayor should look into it. This is Beth's brother.

We had a modular building system in Nampa Idaho and they desided to move to Colorado ... but they were the same concept to make shelters for places that suffer from floods and fires..!!

these are needed now

The dome was very impressive.

Tarp between two panels of wire mesh such as concrete or cattle panels, the cheapest, easiest, fastest way to build shelter or even larger structures, possibly of unlimited size with enforcement

Fabulous solutions!

THE DOME ONE WAS THE BOMB!!!

grate video good on you for posting it

Well Here In The USA This Type Of Living At The Price Should Be Complete With Amenities, Moving Homeless People Completely Off The streets,

Those look nice, especially inside. 🙂

Very interesting and instructive info. Good to know. Thanks!

Looks fantastic on film in the right place but I've seen one of those structures in the city and it's a different story the problem is the homeless people throw trash everywhere and harass businesses because we aren't enforcing laws. A very nice tent will do the same job but the problem is very different. But I tell you this I'm thrilled to see people trying . I've been homeless myself so I might not be qualified to give the opinion.

They need to advertise this on tv and supply several to each city prone to disasters

These are great ideas……run with this☮️💟

I would definitely get one of those dome homes!

Is there anyone in these companies advocating for the people that actually need these? I'm hoping there's more than just a viddo on KZfaq about it.

I think, better shelter, maggie shelter can be used for small farm house 🏡 also. Send some to 🇮🇳, can be a good business or provide on Amazon.

Friggin love this video💞

Some these really nice designs could fill field with them especially dome ones great incase snow,anyhow cheap accommodation for UK I would love live in one ,great for accommodation people on streets think cost would come down buying power ,inspired me might look into this further.

GREAT!!!

Why not seeing this used? Always see tents and tarps

This is really good.🧡

I love the domes

You still have to have the land to pit it on

It won't be long till we'll all be living in shelters like this. Except for the elites that is.

Thanks for sharing

I love these ideas.

Are any of these emergency housing alternatives being deployed to the victims of the recent fluid disasters in Germany?

There are so many cost effective ways to provide housing to people in need. Most of the above are glorified tents., With the exception of the dome. I ve seen foldable houses, recycled material houses, printed houses, you mean to tell me that with all the genius minds in this country, the cities can't fork up big lots to house people and get them off the streets? We have multitudes living in their vehicles because they cannot afford decent housing. I bet without all the corruption there could be for example 450 sq. Or 600 SQ ft houses that look good and make people have a safe place to live so we can end homelessness once and for all. When folks actually see their tax money go to work in stead of being squandered by crooked politicians with their endless red tape, we can finally get somewhere.

Sir I salute You, Thank You

Miketacyour videos are very interesting to watch.

Aren’t u gonna need equal amounts of bathrooms or are these shelters equipped with environmentally sound portable potty’s ?

Cost? Homeless people could use these#

Brilliant.

Buckminster Fuller cane up with the idea for Geodesic Domes! They are very sturdy and can withstand strong winds! There is a town in the Mid-West named GREENSBURG! It was basically destroyed by a huge tornado. The people returned and decided it might be smart to rebuild using GREEN technology! They did! More places in the USA needs to do likewise!

I'd rather have a nice clean RV with WHEELS.

It's a good alternative for people whos houses are undergoing renovation... or experienced storm damage..... For the homeless, you have good intentions, but this is not the best solution. When many homeless shelters are grouped together, you're just making slum neighborhoods.... A better solution is to provide the homeless who can drive - vehicles... Vehicles where they can sleep in, and also move in.... Sometimes all that a person needs is mobility. It can make all the difference. The government(s) will have to get involved - for licensing, insurance, a weekly gas allowance, and vehicle maintenance.

There great I'd love them.

Makes me want to up sticks and move to one of these structures.

Sweet!

Bet Jeff Bezos could have bought a ton of those but going to space took priority..lol

AWESOMENESS!

Fantastic

Hello to you, my name is Pamela Cox and I am a peer in Fort St. John BC Canada. I have been looking for a solution for our homeless community. Being that we live in Northern British Columbia we can get cold fast. Is there any thing that you have for our climate zone?? As we are a volunteer group we rely on public support. So cost effectiveness. Needs to be a priority. Thank you for any suggestions.

I need one. Where can I get mine?

Therefore we do got AN ANSWER TO HELP OUR HOMELESS IN THE US. THIS IS GREAT HOPE PEOPLE.

worthwhile

Haiti needs these homes

Imagine bunking in a garden shed with a stranger, one whom might be adverse to sharing as well. No, this is not a solution. Safety built, SAE approved tiny homes with plumbing, sewage and electrical hook ups are what are needed!! Proper houses. Land ownership and building regulations have to be addressed to accommodate these tiny homes, for permanent residency!! People are being evicted because of money situations and when they go to rent again, up goes the market rent!! No, transitional shelters are not what's needed.

Awesome!

The yurt is the most genius portable living quarters concept.

Greed drives the way.. it's a shame tht products such as these NEED 2 B dreamt up & manufactured. In every country on this planet, Greed & power mean more than life. Sad

how about a Tufshed?

Wow! That's better than some of these people have lived in before.

good Samaritan, God bless you.
