204771 - 12021 Design Build - Emergency Housing - Modular Tiny Homes

The City of Kelowna is seeking proposals for the design, manufacturing, and installation of modular tiny homes to create a village for individuals experiencing homelessness. The tiny homes must be easy to assemble, disassemble, and relocate as needed.

These housing units are designed as a rapid safety net solution for urban areas, providing immediate, durable shelter for residents in need. Constructed with resilient, weather-resistant materials such as steel frames and modular panels, they are quick to assemble and can be rapidly deployed on vacant lots, underutilized spaces, or other urban settings.

The design is compact and efficient, with essential amenities to ensure comfort and security, such as insulated walls, wind-resistant roofs, and energy-efficient windows. These units are intended to offer a stable, temporary housing option that can be adapted to various site conditions within cities. They prioritize durability and functionality while providing safe, dignified living spaces for those in need of emergency or transitional shelter.

Units should be crafted with high standards for safety and resilience, aiming to provide a dependable urban housing solution that responds swiftly to growing or urgent housing demands
