A Safety Net From Homelessness
Boxes of Hope is transforming shipping containers from Arizona’s border wall into affordable rental homes.
Who we are
Boxes of Hope is a nonprofit organization based in Tucson, Arizona. We’ve developed an innovative solution to repurpose shipping containers from Arizona’s unlawful border wall – then convert them into affordable, rental homes.
Boxes of Hope was founded by Beau Phillips, a media & marketing executive who’s known for delivering successful results for Nintendo, Amazon, CBS Television, MTV Networks and Westwood One Radio.
Beau is joined by Ryan Egan, a leading expert in container home conversions. He was one of the first to transform shipping containers into homes and recently led one of the largest conversion companies in the U.S.

Our Mission
Tucson is struggling with one of the highest poverty rates in America. This dire situation is compounded by a shortage of affordable housing and skyrocketing rental prices.
Boxes of Hope intends to put a significant dent in Tucson’s housing crisis by repurposing abandoned shipping containers and transforming them into livable homes. We will help people who are in desperate need of affordable, rental housing, including seniors, teachers, veterans, single parents and laborers.
Boxes of Hope will create thriving neighborhoods and offer them a safety net from homelessness.
But putting roofs over people’s heads is just the beginning. We’ve partnered with La Frontera to provide residents with behavioral healthcare and job training. Looking forward, we’ll help them get back on their feet, earn a living and become more self-sufficient.
