Tiny Villages Help Solve HomelessNess
Youth Spirit Artworks' Tiny Village For Homeless Youth, Oakland, CA
Our homeless youth are especially vulnerable and have slightly different needs than our homeless adult populations. Youth Spirit Artworks' Founder, Sally Hindman, is a pioneer in helping homeless youth express, through artwork, how they can heal and support their past, present and future lives. CloudHauz is working with YSA and donors to raise $50,000 to complete the village that plans to open in November 2020. Click Here To Donate.

community and cooperation
CloudHauz believes homelessness is not a life sentence even though it may feel like it. We believe in planting seeds (foster new growth), but not growing roots (a more permanent state of that holds one back from living up to their full potential). If you or a loved one is experiencing homelessness, there are resources to secure temporary housing as well as a gentle pathway forward to more permanent, long-term housing, job placement and community support.

CloudHauz in on a mission to encourage the development of homelessness communities that provide safe and affordable dwellings that are also earth-friendly. We support the Housing First social policy, that moves the homeless directly from the streets into their own accommodations, as long as there are robust services available to give them the support they require.
Safe construction
All too often, the homeless are offered shelters that are cheap and easy to obtain which some say is better than nothing. The homeless don't deserve "better than nothing" they, like everyone else, deserve to live in safe dwellings free from the threat of climate change - fires, hurricanes, earthquake collapse, molds, toxins and carcinogens. As well, they deserve to have a comfortable living environment that keeps them warm in cold weather and cool in hot weather. CloudHauz has developed the "Defender" Series of Tiny Houses that do just that.
Easy on the earth

Made with steel, composites, stone and double pained glass, every CloudHauz strives to be 90% wood-free. Our builds use the most durable structural wall panels, making them durable for over 300 years. Made of composite and steel the wall panels offer 4-in-1 construction - load bearing structure, insulation, vapor barrier and sheathing, making them ultra durable. They can withstand a 9.0 earthquake, 200 mile per hour hurricanes, have the highest fire safety rating in the industry and offer the highest thermal values (up to R-50).

CloudHauz Tiny Homes are manufactured in a Net Zero "all green" facility. Because we us a penalized method of construction there is no waste at the building site, no procurement of construction materials, no trips to the lumber store and runs to the dump when the project is over. There is no off-gas, no carcinogens, allergens or pathogens. Our panels are 100% recyclable and made 100% from recycled materials. Because steel and composite offer no food source, our panels are insect deterrent (termites, mold, fungi, vermin)
