MicroShelters, an Indigenous-owned company, is committed to providing innovative solutions to the homelessness crisis, prioritizing respect and sustainability.

At the heart of our mission is community involvement, recognizing the importance of transitioning individuals from tent encampments to MicroShelters and eventually permanent housing.

MicroShelters offer a promising solution to address the pressing issue of homelessness in Canada. These small, private cabins or tiny homes provide a cost-effective and rapidly deployable form of transitional housing that can help get people off the streets and on a path towards more stable, long-term living arrangements.

One of the key benefits of MicroShelters is their affordability. These compact dwellings are much less expensive to construct than traditional affordable housing. This makes them a more viable option for communities and organizations looking to quickly expand their transitional housing capacity.

In addition to their cost-effectiveness, MicroShelters can also be assembled and installed in a matter of hours, allowing for a faster response to the immediate needs of those experiencing homelessness. This rapid deployment capability is particularly valuable in addressing the urgent challenges posed by homelessness, especially during harsh winter months.

Importantly, MicroShelters are generally more appealing to those in need of housing compared to traditional congregate shelters. By offering more privacy, security, and autonomy, these tiny dwellings can provide a more dignified living experience and help foster a greater sense of stability and community.

While MicroShelters are not a permanent solution to homelessness, they can serve as an important transitional step in the journey towards more stable, long-term housing. By helping to stabilize individuals and connecting them with additional support services, these MicroShelters communities can play a valuable role in addressing the complex and multifaceted challenge of homelessness in Canada.
