Rapid Reployment: Housing in Hours, Not Months
In a world where groceries, jackets, and power tools can show up in two days, we’ve grown used to speed. But when a disaster takes everything, the one thing that should arrive fastest shelter often takes the longest.
In June 2021, a wildfire destroyed 90% of Lytton, British Columbia, in less than 30 minutes. Over 1,000 people were displaced. And yet, a full year later, not a single home had been rebuilt.
Why? Because rebuilding isn’t just slow it’s fragile. Insurance takes months. Trades are overbooked. Roads to site are blocked. Foundations are delayed by heatwaves. In disaster zones, even small issues snowball into year-long delays.
TinyBox was designed with these very failures in mind. We bridge that urgency with our modular homes, No vigorous foundation needed. No crane, no concrete, no multi-trade coordination. It arrives like a flat-pack kit (think Ikea Furniture) without the need of massive trucks so just within 72 hours, families can lock a door behind them and sleep inside real walls—not a shelter, not a trailer, but a house.
Our homes arrive as sleek, modern micro-houses with full-height ceilings, finished interiors, and customizable exterior panels that blend into any neighbourhood residents consistently describe them as “real homes” rather than temporary shelters. Our rapid-build system is field-proven: a 20 × 28 ft unit reached lock-up in 72 hours in Kuujjuaq, another showcase home went up in nine days in Ontario, and a coastal California partner assembled a flat-pack kit over a long weekend. Because every kit fits a standard 40-ft container or curtain-side truck, we already deliver from the Arctic down to California, giving familys confidence that the same result is achievable in their region.
These aren’t tents or trailer homes. They’re real homes designed for real use—built to provide warmth, quiet, and stability when everything else has been lost. Our R-60 Thick insulated walls means it keeps the cold out during long nights. Our sealed windows keep out smoke and noise. Off-grid systems bring power and clean water even when nothing else is working. These aren’t high-end add-ons. They’re the basics people need to feel safe, rest properly, and begin again.
“We didn’t want to create a temporary fix. We wanted to give people a real place to breathe again.”
When recovery begins, every hour counts. TinyBox helps communities hit fast-forward on the long road to rebuilding—because the path to recovery should start with a front door, not a tent flap. Because time matters and in a crisis, every additional day without shelter increases stress, risk, and disruption. TinyBox provides a stable and secure home when people need it most. It offers not just speed, but a real starting point for recovery, giving individuals and families a safe place to rebuild again.
