HaitiHouse.org Solves Haiti Housing Crisis With FlatPackHome™ Permanent Self-Assembly Shelter & Container Support Units Creating Entire Villages
[January 30, 2010 - Thomasville, GA USA] Haitihouse.org (http://www.haitihouse.org), a division of luxury houseboat manufacturer, Harbor Homes LLC, in response to the global demand for permanent, safe, efficient and affordable disaster housing has released its FlatPackHome™ brand line for purchase by the general public.
Formerly a private FEMA contractor, Harbor Homes LLC has an impeccable record producing temporary housing, travel trailers, and more for disaster relief inside the United States. After hurricane Katrina, another division was responsible for building and transporting thousands of park model homes for American families.
The FlatPackHome™, combined with container bunk/offices, clinics, kitchens, laundries, baths and showers, can be used by the hundred to create entire villages overnight! A FlatPackHome™ can be assembled by a small group of men with a wrench and ladder in 15 minutes, with no power tools nor any special training. Sixteen FlatPackHomes™ fit in a single cargo container.
The best features of the HaitiHouse.org FlatPackHome™ permanent housing solution:
- Easy to ship, place and install - arriving ready to unfold.
- Made of galvanized steel with powder coated aluminum, all adhered without fasteners, all roof, wall and other seams are sealed.
- When anchored, it is structurally sound, able to withstand 130 mile per hour winds (a Category 3 hurricane is up to 130 mph) AND carries a rating of Seismic D for earthquake protection.
- Available immediately for production and delivery in two sizes 7'6" x 18'9" (or 39" long).
- Has a locking door and screened windows for personal protection and to shield residents from wind, rain, and weather damage.
- Pressure treated raised lumber floor on steel frame keeps all belongings dry, and protects the owners against illness from standing water.
- Impervious to insects and will not rot - carries a 30-year rating.
- Affordable in bulk, and will not need to be constantly replaced, like tents, framed canvas and lesser housing units made of plywood or inferior materials.
- Environmentally friendly and completely recyclable!

With their own ability to deliver units using roll-off shipping transportation to alternate Haitian debarking sites they can build and deliver homes/offices and entire villages to Haiti in less time and at lower cost than any other contractor in operation.
