A statewide call for California cities to adopt the BOSS turnkey delivery system and build the infrastructure needed to achieve Functional Zero.
Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) October 08, 2025 - BOSS Built On Site Systems (BOSS), a California-based leader in modular and panelized housing, today announced the launch of the BOSS Civic Infrastructure Blueprint to End Homelessness - a systems-driven framework and turnkey delivery program enabling cities to deliver interim housing rapidly, affordably, and at scale.
With nearly 1,000 cubes delivered, BOSS is mobilizing California’s cities to treat interim housing as core civic infrastructure - as essential as hospitals, fire stations, and schools.
“California cannot solve homelessness without infrastructure,” said Viken Ohanesian, CEO of BOSS. “Every city must have the capacity to provide safe, dignified interim housing that stabilizes lives while permanent housing is being built. BOSS has created the system - and now we’re inviting cities and partners to build it together.”
Permanent supportive housing remains vital, but the economics and timelines are prohibitive. With per-unit costs often exceeding $750,000 and delivery cycles measured in years, California’s 180,000 unhoused residents - 120,000 of them unsheltered - need a faster bridge to stability.
The BOSS Civic Infrastructure Blueprint to End Homelessness provides that bridge:
• Rapid Deployment: Complete communities delivered and occupied in as little as six months.
• Cost Efficiency: $60,000 – $80,000 per room including site work, depending on site conditions and infrastructure requirements.
• Turnkey Delivery: From design and modular manufacturing to utilities and installation - BOSS partners with cities, local architects, contractors, developers, and public works departments to build out the sites efficiently.
• Civic Infrastructure Blueprint: A replicable roadmap detailing land identification, funding structures, permitting pathways, stakeholder engagement, and operational partnerships.
Each BOSS community includes private, climate-controlled rooms, shared amenities, and offices for healthcare, case management, and employment services. Residents regain stability and self-sufficiency while cities reduce public-system costs and improve neighborhood safety.
“This is not a pilot. This is permanent civic capacity,” Ohanesian added. “BOSS is helping California build the infrastructure to achieve Functional Zero - where homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring.”
