Are tiny homes a cost-effective solution for homelessness? This Bay Area nonprofit thinks so
Briefly

We borrow vacant land that somebody might have plans for someday. It can be either private or public, so the land cost is zero... we buy modular units from various manufacturers. Heck, you can buy a unit at Home Depot these days. So, relocatable cabins on borrowed land and emergency building codes.
The problem with that strategy [moving homeless people directly into permanent housing], as Funk sees it, is there simply aren't enough affordable homes available, and building new units takes years and can cost $1 million per door.
