We take shipping containers left along Arizona’s border wall and turn them into safe, comfortable rental homes for people in Tucson.
We repurpose abandoned shipping containers from Arizona’s border wall instead of letting them go to waste.
Every container is thoroughly refurbished and freshly painted, inside and out, with new flooring, walls and windows.
Each home gets a private bedroom, living area, kitchenette and full bathroom, built for Arizona’s heat with dense insulation and a mini split AC unit.
Through La Frontera, residents get behavioral healthcare and job training to help them get back on their feet.
Our container homes are designed to feel like home, not like a container. Every unit is a complete, private home:
Our homes start with a standard 40-foot high cube container: 40 feet long, 8 feet wide and 9.6 feet tall. That footprint gives each resident a real, private home with everything they need.
Tucson has one of the highest poverty rates in America, and rising rents are pushing working people out. Our homes are for seniors, teachers, veterans, single parents and laborers who need an affordable place to live, and a safety net from homelessness.
Affordable, private homes for older residents on fixed incomes.
Housing for the educators Tucson’s schools rely on.
A stable home for those who served.
A safe place for families to grow.
Homes working people can actually afford.
Every gift helps refurbish containers and support residents as they rebuild their lives.
