Pallet shelters in Multnomah County.
Pallet offers two shelter sizes: the 64-square-foot Pallet 64, and the 100-square-foot Pallet 100. Prices start at $4,900 and $7,000, respectively.The sleeping cabins consist of an aluminum frame and fiber-reinforced plastic composite walls.These walls are insulated, but the home also comes with a heater and an air conditioner.Like any home, the shelters are equipped with safety elements like a lockable door, a smoke detector, and a carbon monoxide monitor.
The structure can withstand up to 100 mile-per-hour winds and manage up to 25 pounds per square-foot of snow.If that's not enough, Pallet also has an "extreme weather" version originally developed for a Hood River, Oregon location.However, none of the homes have bathrooms. This was intentional: the company wants its units to serve as "temporary stabilizing shelters" while its occupants wait for a more permanent option.
The Washington-based company's "social purpose" title means it serves as a combination between a for-profit and a non-profit organization.As a result, profits made are put back into the company's two main missions: stopping "unsheltered homelessness," and creating a "nontraditional workforce."To the latter point, 90% of Pallet's employees have once faced addiction, incarceration, or homelessness.
This looks like a solution to help the homeless folks !!
But how do they hold up to cold weather? Will these folks be given an ID and a chance to make this their permanent residence?
Why so much? Nothing there in the aggregate that should total 5k
More good news please(((
