Prefab/Modular Construction Makes Building Affordable Housing for the Homeless and Homeless Vets Affordable
Seeing homeless individuals and veterans is heartbreaking and trying to find solutions for the problem may be getting more challenging as budgets are getting cut:

USModular, Inc. has teamed up with several Architects and Engineers to create an Affordable design and construction solution to build housing for homeless individuals that is actually affordable to build.
We have created a 2 story (16 unit) and 3 story (24 unit) version of studio apartments that can be built on narrow in-fill lots. (Pictured below)

“Building these type of projects with prefabricated/modular construction is faster, better built and less expensive than a traditional site built project as we can complete site work and module fabrication simultaneously; saving time and financing costs and helping to get people into a home significantly faster.” Says Bill Cavanaugh with USModular Inc.
There is also a cost savings on projects that have a prevailing wage component as a majority of projects built off-site falls outside of prevailing wages requirements; saving developers significant $$ on the project.
The statement below in the KTGY summary of Modular construction for Affordable Housing is a good look at the future:
“We believe the concept of fabricating a housing module off-site and delivering to another will become the standard of affordable housing”
USModular, Inc. goal is to become a partner with forward thinking Affordable Housing Developers to build quality homes, on time, on budget and at a good price!
