Haiti-Emergency Homes Using Shipping Container Homes

Jan. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- My name is Jimmy Lee and I am the owner of ContainerHomes.Net, located in San Ramon, Costa Rica. We build homes from recycled shipping containers and export them around the globe.

My company is currently researching the proper channels required to provide emergency shelter container homes for the people of Haiti.

We are asking people, businesses and non-profits to review our company and consider using our services to create and transport our product as soon as possible.  Please provide us with any advice or suggestions on how enroll some of the support agencies in reviewing our idea.

These ISO shipping containers are both hurricane and earth quake proof, based on their design, and their seaworthiness. They can withstand 100mph winds unanchored and 145 winds anchored. These homes can be used now as emergency shelter and then converted into homes and offices later. These containers can also be stacked upon each other and replace the poor Haitian construction.
I have included in this letter the description of the unit.
I  have the sample design available upon request.

I am also available to talk in person. Please feel free to e-mail at: admin@containerhomes.net
