"In collaboration with Steadfast LA, a nonprofit backed by billionaire developer and Los Angeles resident Rick Caruso, Samara offers homes at no cost to people impacted by the wildfire, particularly long-time residents who were underinsured and can't afford to rebuild on their own. Samara CEO Mike McNamara said his team currently expects to install about 10 homes for affected families, though that number could increase depending on available funding."
"The modular homes, Samara's two-bedroom, two-bath, 950-square-foot Backyard XL models, can be ready for occupancy within 90 to 120 days of permit approval. Once the home is installed on a foundation on site, the Samara team will spend several weeks preparing the home by adding decks, porches, awnings, carports, hardscaping, landscaping, fencing and other design features. This quick, efficient end-to-end cycle time is a principal reason modular housing has emerged as a compelling option for communities rebuilding after a natural disaster."
Samara installed its first modular home for wildfire victims in Altadena in partnership with Steadfast LA, offering homes at no cost to affected, underinsured long-time residents. The company currently expects to install about ten homes, with the number potentially rising if additional funding becomes available, and may place units in Altadena and Pacific Palisades. The Backyard XL two-bedroom, two-bath, 950-square-foot models can be ready for occupancy within 90 to 120 days of permit approval. After installation on a foundation, teams add decks, porches, awnings, carports, hardscaping, landscaping and fencing. The homes are built to be fire-resistant, with fiber-cement exterior cladding, a metal roof and advanced HVAC to filter wildfire smoke, making modular construction a fast, resilient option for post-disaster rebuilding.
