Emergency and transitional housing on an ICC-ES evaluated system your building department can look up, on land you already own.
Shelters with Dignity
Everyone deserves a place to call home.
Real homes, not temporary structures. Fornidos shelter communities give people privacy, safety and a front porch of their own, built with the same ICC-ES evaluated panels as every Fornidos house.
Why dignity matters
A tent or a cot in a crowded room can keep someone out of the weather, but it rarely gives them what they need to move forward. A small home with a door that locks, a window, a bed and a place to sit outside changes that. It gives people privacy, rest and a sense of belonging, the foundation for getting back on their feet.
Fornidos shelters are built as real, code-built homes. They are arranged into small communities around shared courtyards, shade and gathering space, so residents have both a place of their own and neighbors around them.
