Following a story MHProNews last reported Feb. 25, 2016, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada will soon be witnessing the arrival of modular housing units, each 250 square feet, for homeless singles and families. The city has pinpointed two sites for the homes. One site will accommodate 40-80 micro units, each with its own kitchen and bath.

The other 40 units will be sited on Howe St. where residents will share a community kitchen. Officials expect each occupant to remain up to two years until more permanent housing can be located, according to cbc.ca..

Five companies have been issued RFPs (request for proposals) with the expectation that the housing units will be ready for occupancy in late fall. Additionally, as modular small homes they can be moved to other areas as needed. ##
