KIRO ACTION GOVERNMENT OPTIONS
From Veteran/Homeless Options, Low-Income Housing, Disaster Relief, Emergency Shelters And In-The-Field Housing For Military, We Have You Covered
From veteran or homeless options, low-income housing, emergency housing, disaster relief shelters and in-the-field housing for military, we have you covered a at KIRO ACTION. Aesthetically, our solutions already have a modern vibe with high ceilings, sloping roofs, modern touches and designer-inspired looks. Our base size, measuring 400 square feet (37 square meters), has a functioning bathroom and kitchen using our patent-pending rollaway feature. If 400 sq ft is too small or large, our modular building design can be increased in 200 sq ft increments with ease, meaning you can have a customized unit that is 200 sq ft to 1000 sq ft (and above). KIRO ACTION units can be customized to your specifications, color choices, technology, and additional features are all available and can be implemented with ease. Our team of designers are ready to help craft that custom look for your order.
The beauty of KIRO ACTION is that it can be used with or without a concrete foundation. If you do have a concrete foundation, our units bolt into the foundation, just like a typical home or commercial building, making it a permanent structure. If you do not have a concrete foundation, our patent-pending, folding base structure allows you to quickly and easily put the units anywhere, such as in a parking lot or a field. If there is electricity and water on the property, utilities merely plug into the structure. If you don’t have water or electricity available, we have customized services solutions that will feed up to 15-units at a time, with water storage tanks, electricity through a generator, and a waste water disposal tank. Our services solution makes installation scalable up to hundreds of deployed units, even without ready access to city and electrical water lines.
The following are some markets that could utilize the KIRO ACTION solution.
HOMELESS and VETERAN HOUSING
The epidemic of homelessness affects cities of all sizes in every region in the United States. Unfortunately, most homelessness is the result of medical issues, depression, lack of mental health assistance, and unfortunate financial circumstances. Cities have been left holding the bag of services to assist homelessness and general poverty. Organizations, both national and local, attempt to put a dent in the homeless population, but are overwhelmed with waiting lists to serve people in need today. States don’t have the budget for a long-term solution. Our focus at KIRO ACTION is to create a solution that will put a dent in the general homeless and veteran homelessness population. This solution is an affordable, respectable short to long-term home solution that can be readily purchased and deployed by government entities at all levels.
Depending on where you live, cities and states tend to own the most land, whether it’s an empty parking lot or an unused field. The concept of KIRO ACTION was born with the idea that government entities have unused land that we can utilize with a product to house the homeless. We believe permanent housing is always the best solution, but our KIRO ACTION homes are built to last up to 20-years providing a critical bridge from homelessness to permanent housing, especially in the first years of homelessness. Government entities are hesitant to give away land they own forever to build permanent housing, but it’s much easier to put KIRO ACTION homes on unused land for an interim period. KIRO ACTION units are deployable, collapsible, flat-packed, and put together in two-hours by three people with no heavy tools or machinery. They are built to the code of commercial and home applications, and are an aesthetically modern and beautiful structure that can be moved with ease.
Rather than having homeless congregate in tents near an underpass, sleep on downtown benches or make shelters in wooded areas, we have the solution for cities in a dignified and humane manner that gets the person that is encountering homelessness a place to call home. Families can stay together. Homeless veterans can get the help they need. A physical home creates safety and is the first obstacle in getting back on track to having a successful life. In addition to our homes, cities can offer the homeless programs from drug rehabilitation, job search assistance, and mental health facilities in the midst of KIRO ACTION developments. All of our KIRO ACTION homes can be placed in empty parking lots or various fields cities and states own, and in addition, water and electrical connections can be made directly to utilities; even if there is no water or electricity connection, we have a solution to offer “off-grid” solutions feeding the homes water, electricity and waste water containment. KIRO ACTION homes can be put practically anywhere to serve people in need.
Our options to address unsheltered, general and veteran homelessness doesn’t cost hundreds-of-thousands of dollars per unit, but less than12k for a 200 sq ft home and has a functioning kitchen and bathroom. The cost is negligible for city and state governments, and in fact, often cheaper than not housing the homeless. Many court dockets are full of homeless citizens getting ticketed for camping overnight and trespassing charges clogging up the court and jail system. Charges for tickets can’t be paid by someone that is unemployed and homeless, thus creating a circle of being jailed nightly, ticketed or charged, and in the court system weekly. Our goal at KIRO ACTION, is to give the most important aspect of influencing positive change, and that’s housing. With housing as a foundation, cities and local programs can help the previously homeless in making them as productive citizens with employment and giving back to their community. Get the homeless a home and employment, and they become a tax-paying citizen giving back resources to a city or state, meaning offering cities will pay less in by offering a home.
DISASTER and EMERGENCY SHELTERS
Calamity hits everywhere, and sometimes, annually in the same places, leaving little room for recovery. Hurricanes, wildfires, and flooding wreak havoc on neighborhoods and communities. We understand that the first step of getting a life back on track is a safe space to sleep at night. The beauty of KIRO ACTION homes is our patent-pending foldout building method that allow for swift action in times of crisis. Government clients can warehouse hundreds and thousands of units, deploying them quickly in time of need. The homes can be put together in four-hours by four-people with no heavy machinery or equipment. This allows government agencies to be nimble and responsive to large-scale disasters that hit entire communities. Being prepared with a housing option that is available right away should be part of every emergency plan set by a government in time of calamity.
Insurance companies can benefit greatly from a ready store of warehoused units to be deployed in times of needs. Disaster victims typically have to stay in a hotel miles away, if they can even find a room, resulting in burdensome travel to and from their home destroyed home by fire or flood. Insurance companies have the ability to provide our KIRO ACTION solution within hours of a disaster. This is not only the right thing to do, it is also good business. Consumers stay loyal to those companies that are there in their time of need, such as a loss of a home. The biggest differentiator between a “good” and “great” company is the ability to be that helping hand in time of need and to restore normalcy as soon as possible. Warehousing and deploying KIRO ACTION units as an insurance company is no different than what the government does with crisis management.
MILITARY HOUSING SOLUTIONS
Remote military housing solutions vary from a tent to fixed building. As deployment destinations become more remote, the options for decent housing accommodations lessen. Our KIRO ACTION units are a fantastic option for military housing, both domestically and internationally. They can be put together in two-hours with no heavy equipment or machinery, sit on our patent-pending foldout base, and can be easily moved to alternate locations as conditions change.
We have the ability to adjust the base KIRO ACTION solution to make it larger or smaller to meet various needs. With the right military partner, we can make the unit more easily deployable for distribution from a C130 aircraft, create a city of KIRO HOMES shipped in containers, and be remotely setup by military members on the ground.
