Discover How Rapid Shelter Construction Can Help the Homeless

  Revolutionary Solution to Soaring Homelessness Crisis, Says Sprung Structures President

As homelessness continues to plague cities across North America, the urgent need for effective solutions is at the forefront of discussions during the National Alliance to End Homelessness convention. One company, Sprung Structures, the pioneering force behind tension-membrane shelters, is garnering attention with its innovative Sprung Navigation Center model, which has successfully transitioned over 10,000 Americans from homelessness to stable housing.  

An Alternative Approach to Combat Homelessness

Highlighting the pressing issue, Phil Sprung, president of Sprung Structures, states, "Soaring homelessness is a top concern for cities across North America, and we can offer the fastest solution to reverse this growing crisis." Sprung Structures has developed high-performance, purpose-built shelters, which not only provide housing but also essential on-site social services, thus achieving the desired outcomes of the Housing First model in a fraction of the time typically required for traditional construction.  

Swift and Superbly Equipped Structures

With superior climate control, abundant natural daylight, and spacious layouts that can accommodate a range of support services, Sprung facilities can be constructed in as little as eight weeks. These structures boast low construction costs and minimal foundation requirements, coupled with energy-efficient insulation packages that ensure a comfortable interior while reducing overall operating expenses.   A Holistic Approach to Support The Sprung Navigation Center model offers a mix of dormitory-style rooms and private units, addressing the diverse needs of homeless individuals. These centers provide critical resources such as addiction treatment, job retraining, and mental health services, helping to tackle the underlying causes of chronic homelessness. Research confirms that individuals with stable and secure housing have significantly higher success rates in addressing their homelessness issues, as evidenced by the Navigation Center model.  

Proven Success and Expansion

Sprung's innovative structures have already made a significant impact in major urban centers, including San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Portland, and Phoenix. "Successfully used in these cities, these special structures provide people who are experiencing homelessness with temporary housing as they travel the path to self-sufficiency and a brighter, more secure future," says Sprung. To date, more than 10,000 individuals have successfully transitioned from homelessness to stable housing through these centers. Further details and examples of projects can be found on the company's website, sprung.com.   Phoenix Praises the Respiro Solution In Phoenix, Sprung Structures' custom 100-bed tensioned-fabric structure, aptly named Respiro (meaning "respite" in Spanish), continues to save lives beyond the scorching summers. Yassamin Ansari, a city councilwoman in Phoenix, applauds the efforts, stating, "I look forward to working with Sprung to continue providing humane, temporary housing solutions for our unsheltered residents."
