“Shelter2Home has what the displaced people of the world needs, why invest in tents and other structures that are just thrown away only to have to start all over when building a permanent home? What a waste of materials and more importantly the money from donations generously given.
Shelter2Home allows you to create shelter quickly and upgrade as required. Nothing is thrown away and upgrading always gets you closer to a permanent home.”
Shelter2Home provides a systematic approach to providing decent, affordable housing to people displaced by Natural Disaster, War, Poverty or Neglect. Shelter2Home is the only Transitional/Emergency Shelter System that can be converted to a Permanent Home or systematically upgraded over time.
Donald A. Stevens, founder of the non-profit called Reach and President of Stucc on Steel Building Systems, started Shelter2Home after spending 6 months in Sri Lanka over a 2½ year period analyzing the Transitional Housing Programs of some of the world largest international NGO’s in their attempt to solve the housing crisis created by the December 2004 Tsunami in Sri Lanka. From dark colored tents—to asbestos covered wooden shacks—to stacking the same cement blocks back on top of each other, often with no concern to cost, the environmental or economic impact in the area, Mr. Stevens knew there must be a better way.
