Shelter2Home

Shelter2Home provides an emergency/transitional shelter that can convert into a permanent home. Components can be either manufactured locally or shipped into the disaster area where they are assembled under the support and training of our staff. In the event that a shelter is no longer used or if a another life threatening event is pending, the shelter can be disassembled down to individual components, put into safe storage, and reused again later without any loss of integrity.
