Housing for emergencies or for those in need could be a short-term solution or may be set up as a longer-term shelter. The shelter may be flexible to grow and change enough to accommodate the individual, the family and the community. The shelter is more substantial than a tent and easier to assemble and transport as compared to conventional shelters. The smaller of shelters can be transported in a standard size truck bed (for example, 8 feet by 12 feet) and erected by two individuals in a minimal amount of time, typically less than an hour. The shelter may include various features, including shelving, bathing facilities, sinks, beds, lighting, and the like. The design of the shelter is to be connected to external electric and water supplies. Optionally, the shelters may be designed as stand-alone, “off-the-grid” units. The ceiling of the shelter may include one or more solar panels to provide power for the shelter. The shelter's container provides the essentials needed to sustain life. This takes away the need for standing in multiple lines and gives the much-needed immediate help.
