"Finally, a home of our own" - the foundation of PFNC, whose goal is to provide housing to those who most desperately need it around the globe.

PFNC utilizes surplus shipping containers resulting from the United States' consistent trade deficit. The containers serve as the building block of PFNC housing, after an extensive conversion process to make them a home.

They designed a galley-style kitchen with a stove, sink, refrigerator and dinette, and a 48 sq. ft. bathroom with a pedestal sink, shower and commode, a bunk area for children; separate sleeping quarters for the owners.

A half million people could benefit from such homes in Juarez, Mexico alone. Affordable for the average worker at manufacturing plants in Mexico along the U.S. border...instead of a cardboard shack, a real home, offered as a employee benefit in "a work to own" housing program. PFNC doesn't intend just to build shelter: it wants to build communities.

Great clip! I especially like the fact that the shipping containers are designed to stack to form clusters, with the clusters arranged to form squares around a middle plaza. Wonderful community planning.

The ultimate recycling. :~)

I could live in one of those. And put my books in another.

Inspiring solutions

Very creative thinking. if one puts his mind into it, solutions to these problems can be reached. thanks for the clip.
