Pallet is a Social Purpose Corporation, meaning we have a double bottom line - people and profits. We strive to prevent and reduce homelessness, both through the high-quality products we build and the invaluable people who build them. We are second-chance friendly; hiring and investing in people actively engaged in recovery and reintegration. In multiple ways, the purchase of a Pallet product gives someone a safe place to begin again.
The patented Pallet Shelter is adaptable to many different scenarios: disaster relief, temporary or homeless housing, emergency response and military operations. Quick to deploy, robust and reusable - it can be set up in 20 minutes without tools and breaks down to only 12 inches tall. Beds fold up or down to sleep 4 adults or create a spacious living area.
