The units were initially designed to serve as shelters for people who had lost their homes due to natural disasters, such as fires. However, the company started opening its scope of potential occupants when homelessness began reaching a similar «disaster emergency level,» according to King. Despite the potential to capitalize off of the tiny home boom, Pallet currently does not sell any of its units to one-off costumers looking for a backyard tiny home. «Right now, we are heavily focused on the humanitarian crisis in front of us,» King said. «We will not stop until homelessness has ended in this country, so that’s where we’re focusing our attention for the time being.» Last year, Pallet built over 1,500 new beds across the US. There are now Pallets in states like California, Minnesota, Texas, and Hawaii. It took Pallet five or six different iterations before it settled on this final design. Pallet offers two shelter sizes: the 64-square-foot Pallet 64, and the 100-square-foot Pallet 100. Prices start at $4,900 and $7,000, respectively. The sleeping cabins consist of an aluminum frame and fiber-reinforced plastic composite walls. These walls are insulated, but the home also comes with a heater and an air conditioner.
