As cities grapple with housing shortages and homelessness, quick-build solutions in urban spaces have emerged as a pivotal strategy to address these challenges. This session will delve into the practical aspects of operationalizing Emergency Interim Housing (EIH) and Safe Outdoor Sleeping Sites (SOS) within urban environments. By leveraging available public land, underutilized spaces, and innovative construction techniques, cities can rapidly deploy housing solutions that meet immediate needs while setting the stage for long-term impact. This comes at a critical time as more cities are pressed to come up with immediate solutions, following the outcomes of the Grants Pass rulings, and the press to increase responsiveness with limited resources.
