Emergency housing
Helping families rebuild after wildfires and other disasters
After a disaster, finding a place to settle is one of many difficult decisions. We build permanent modular homes and can help you understand what a project would require, starting with the location and the people who need housing.
The housing challenge after a disaster
Why communities use modular homes for recovery
What would help people feel at home again? Start with daily needs, then work through the site, funding and schedule.
Permanent homes for everyday living
These homes have kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas.
A schedule you can plan around
Tell us when housing is needed. We’ll build a schedule around our production slots, permits, site preparation, and delivery.
Indoor construction, coordinated site work
Most of the home is built indoors in Battle Ground. We schedule delivery for when the site is prepared and the access is ready.
A home families can stay in
Families can cook, sleep in their own bedrooms, stay in their community, and keep their kids in the same schools while they plan what comes next.
How it works
From our factory floor to a family's front door
Three steps take a home from our factory to a family’s site.
-
1Built in our factory
Framing, electrical, plumbing, finishes, and inspection all happen indoors at our factory.
-
2Transported to the site
Once complete, the home is transported to the installation site. Our own field crew handles delivery, craning, and setting the home on its foundation.
-
3Finish the work needed to move in
After the set come the utility connections, the remaining site work, and the inspections required before anyone moves in.

Questions
Emergency housing questions
How quickly can a modular home be ready after a disaster?
It depends on more than factory time. Send us the location, the number of homes, and the date housing is needed. We’ll check our production schedule, permits, site preparation, utility connections, and inspections, then give you a delivery and move-in schedule.
Are these temporary shelters or permanent homes?
They are permanent homes with kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas, built for long-term living.
Who can request emergency housing from Wolf Industries?
Displaced families, community organizations, housing agencies, and local governments planning wildfire or disaster recovery. Schedule a phone consultation or visit the factory in Battle Ground, WA to see how the homes are built.
