horizon modules

Yesterday, I received a connection request that caught my eye. It was from “Modular for Affordable Dwellings.” Initially, I cringed, thinking it was just another initiative pushing tiny shacks as a solution for homelessness. However, upon visiting their website https://horizonmodules.com/floor-plans/, I realized these are actual homes, not tiny boxes meant for lawn equipment.
The model I’m showcasing is priced at $60k. Yes, it’s significantly more than the $14k tiny boxes from Pallet Shelter, but let’s address the reality: those tiny shacks are not truly temporary. Despite what politicians claim, there’s a harsh truth—they know there’s no real housing solution in place. A friend of mine has been stuck in one of those shacks for over three years, continuously told she’ll be moved into proper housing, yet there’s no actual plan. Imagine the trauma of living in a cramped space for years, believing it’s temporary, only to realize it’s not.

Reflecting on a previous discussion and this new information, it’s clear that the affordable housing crisis won’t be resolved soon. Warehousing people in tiny shacks is inhumane and unsustainable. Over time, it’s evident that homeless individuals won’t thrive in such conditions. If provided with genuine homes, the outcomes would be significantly better because they would have a sense of permanence. Coupled with supportive services, this could be a real solution.

So, why not move towards providing actual, livable homes like these modular units? Sadly, public sentiment often leans towards blaming homeless individuals for their situation, leading to reluctance in spending on effective solutions. Politicians, under pressure to cut costs, contribute to the worsening crisis.
The push for forced camps is growing, and should Trump win the election, the reality of “forced sanctioned camps” could come faster than we think. The tiny shack movement is the foundation to this disturbing trend.
Modular homes, though pricier than tiny shacks, offer a refreshing and humane alternative. They can serve as permanent residences. When paired with support services, they provide a viable solution. Yes, they come with a higher upfront cost, but the long-term return on investment is substantial. More importantly, this approach respects the dignity of homeless individuals, offering them housing with essential amenities like bathrooms, kitchens, and a sense of stability. It’s time to prioritize real, dignified solutions over inadequate, temporary fixes.
depends how you define support services
if any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do.. cancerous distraction
ie: notes from horizon site:
services listed:
COMMUNITY CENTRES: Dedicated Service Areas: Create designated spaces for childcare facilities, healthcare clinics, or administrative offices.
COMMUNITY SERVICES: Multi-Purpose Rooms: Host workshops, information sessions, or group support programs.
need rather: city sketchup ness.. otherwise.. still people telling other people what to do
DEFENCE: “Our nation’s security depends on a strong and well-supported defence force. “
has to be sans us & them ness..

EDUCATION: Identify Your Needs: We’ll discuss your curriculum, student body size, and future growth plans to gain a clear understanding of your educational requirements.
again.. any form of m\a\p as cancerous distraction
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT: Rapid Deployment Emergency Shelters: Provide safe and secure temporary housing for displaced individuals and families following disasters.

JUSTICE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT: “Reintegration is a crucial step in creating a safer and more just society. We understand the challenges faced by individuals re-entering society and offer innovative temporary housing solutions to support successful reintegration.”
need to try the unconditionality of gershenfeld something else law.. ie: a sabbatical ish transition
LAND AND HOUSING: Mixed-Use Developments: Combine residential units with commercial spaces or community facilities within a single modular development.
need this.. but via city sketchup.. not via list of assumed essentials ie: ed housing et al
PUBLIC HEALTH: Modular Clinics and Treatment Centres: Expand existing healthcare facilities or establish temporary clinics in underserved areas, providing essential medical services to the community.
again.. as per above.. triage for wholeness.. not just bandaiding (and so perpetuating) symptoms

bush immune system law et al
