Disaster & Temporary Housing

When wildfire, flooding, or other disasters displace New Mexico families, speed matters, and so does getting people into safe, durable housing. Factory-built homes can be produced and placed faster than site-built construction, and they can serve as long-term homes rather than short-term shelter.
