There are already thousands of people living in these $1100 housing units purchased by government agencies around the world.

This housing option has been very popular for emergency agencies and is developed by IKEA who already for years has been producing affordable prefab modular houses for the retail market. You can even connect more than one to another to make an even larger living space.Įach one of these Better Shelters are built with a rigid steel frame with fire retardant walls and ceiling pieces that match up to US and European guidelines. You can place doors and windows where you want them in the construction because everything about the house is modular. This IKEA prefab home will allow you to set up in 3 hours with simple tools that are included with the packaging. That is a huge benefit that nobody on the market has offered until now. These prefab tiny houses are hard walled and provided the added security that people were wanting.īetter yet, each tiny home comes with 4 solar panels that provides the home with enough power for 4 hours of lighting at night and use of small appliances and USB power options during the day. Not only that but these flimsy canvas tents would not provide any security among these large groups and violent crime was at many times an issue. Until just recently, these refugee camps were stocked with canvas tents for families but they only lasted at best 6 months before they needed replacing or serious repair. These “Better Shelters” were originally designed for the UN and refugees in large camps. How about an affordable temporary housing option that will allow you to get on the land right away? Introducing the IKEA $1100 “Better Shelter” pop up house that is designed to last for at least 3 years without issues.
