Navigation centers are more inclusive than traditional shelters. They allow people with partners, pets and personal belongings. They also allow people to maintain relationships with people outside the center. Once inside they get intensive case management and connected to health care, substance abuse treatment and benefits. Navigation centers aren’t a solution to homelessness but they’re a step in the right direction. They provide shelter, services and support a pathway to more stable housing.

The world of residential construction is seeing an evolution with the unlocking of using lightweight pre engineered steel applications. RPM Team, a leading provider of turnkey pre-engineered building solutions is taking a commercial approach, using a repeatable, predictable, and manufacturable strategy to deliver efficient, cost-effective homes.

In March of 2024, RPM participated in a think tank session with U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who is also slated to become the future chair of the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH).

Pre-engineered buildings (PEBs) are a viable solution for sanctuary spaces and worship. They offer many advantages over traditional construction and can be delivered rapidly with a lower cost. RPM Team is experienced guiding congregations in their growth with pre engineered buildings.

Pre-engineered and prefabricated structures have gained popularity in recent years for a variety of applications and uses. RPM Team is at the forefront, utilizing the benefits of prefab to accelerate construction efforts for homeless solutions, affordable housing, and medical and military facilities, all at a more affordable cost. However, there are still some misconceptions surrounding the industry that can deter people from considering pre-engineered construction as a viable option for their project’s needs. Let’s debunk three common misconceptions about pre-engineered structures and shed light on their true potential.
