Homes for Hope
Homes for Hope
In a city with a vacancy rate of 2%, countless plots of land remain underutilized across Los Angeles. Homes for Hope activates this unused land to provide modular, bridge stabilization housing for immediately sheltering the city's homeless. Installed and dismantled in two weeks or less, Homes for Hope easily reconfigures and adapts to a range of site conditions. The 92 sq. ft. units aggregate into 30-bed communities, making it a by-right project zoned as congregant housing. The stackable units are structurally isolated and maintain their integrity as they adjust and relocate from site to site. The modules combine to form communal spaces, bathroom facilities, outdoor terraces, and a courtyard. Homes for Hope offers an affordable and empowering solution for rapidly rehousing LA city's most vulnerable: the first step on one's journey home.
