Veterans Housing Development’s (VHD) mission is to provide housing to homeless veterans through partnerships, involvement with members of the local community, the Veterans Administration and philanthropic donors. Our approach to address the problem of homeless veterans can be duplicated in every city throughout the United States as needed. Our vision is to provide a sense of home and community for our veterans.
Why are shipping containers ideal for constucting housing?
Affordable
A home built from used shipping containers cost significantly less than a conventional house with the same space.
Environmentally friendly
Reusing transport receptacles lessens the environmental impact of conventional construction materials such as cement, brick, and wood. Building a “green” home also saves energy.
Structurally sound
Shipping container homes are ideal for high risk weather areas as the modular elements are welded together.
Easy to construct
Shipping container homes can be designed and built from modular and sturdy units in relatively a short amount of time in comparison with construction of regular dwellings.
