Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Rural Homelessness Podcast, Matt McChlery discusses how modular housing can help address rural homelessness. He is joined by Lewis Herbert, the manager of Allia Future Homes, and Daniel Renn, the Allia Future Homes Housing Development Lead.

Modular housing offers benefits such as speed, cost-effectiveness, quality control, sustainability, and flexibility. It can be used in various sectors, including housing for the homeless. The challenges of modular housing include overcoming the stigma and lack of awareness, navigating building codes and regulations, and transportation logistics.
