Housing Solution | Overview
MLU’s rapid response temporary housing is designed as a complete, managed solution. All operations are provided under a single contract with centralized management, ensuring consistency, clear accountability, and streamlined communication. This allows states to focus on other mission- critical priorities rather than coordinating multiple unfamiliar contractors in an unfamiliar scope in the midst of a disaster. n Leasing of TTHUs: Flexible 12- or 18-month lease terms with extension options; structured specifically to meet FEMA reimbursement requirements under PA and IA programs; clear cost breakdowns and audit-ready documentation to simplify reimbursement and state budgeting n Intake and Eligibility Processing: Survivor outreach, intake, eligibility determination, and placement tracking n Staging Yard: TTHUs are held safely and securely until they are dispatched n Site Feasibility Inspection: For Private Sites and Commercial Sites, to ensure that the Site is in compliance with the most recent version of the FEMA EHP Compliance Review Requirements – Ensuring Review for Direct Housing Missions, 2022-2023 and that it otherwise can physically support the installation of a TTHU n Haul and Install: Transport and install the TTHU, conduct inspections, compliance documentation, and ensure TTHU is Ready for Occupancy
MLU’s operation plan includes setting up a Forward Operating Base (FOB) where the TTHUs and all mission materials are stored, and which also includes its Program Management Office (PMO) . MLU designs the FOB to allow space for states to operate their own mobile office trailer. This structure allows for real-time oversight, coordination, and reporting. n Design and Construction: If necessary, group sites/commercial parks can be designed and constructed/expanded on an expedited basis n Maintenance and Call Support: Monthly preventative inspections, 24/7 dedicated survivor call center, and on-call repair services n Deactivation and Site Restoration: Lease-end removal of the TTHU and return the Installation Site to its original, pre-Installation condition n Oversight and Compliance : Centralized coordination across all housing sites; standardized documentation for FEMA eligibility and audits; structured quality control and near real-time performance monitoring; communication with state and federal partners; continuous improvement based on after-action reviews and lessons learned; transparent reporting to support state decision-making and FEMA reimbursement tracking; proactive issue resolution to minimize service disruptions and maintain mission timelines
MLU’s Proven Approach — Field-Tested Under LogHOUSE
Since 2004, MLU has refined our processes to form the backbone of our TTHU leasing model. Every component – from documentation and inspections to maintenance protocols and survivor support – has been tested under federal oversight and changing
field conditions. That proven track record ensures states can rely on a model that is not only FEMA- aligned, but operationally resilient, survivor-focused, cost reimbursable and audit-ready from day one.
States need a housing solution that can be activated immediately, scaled to meet demand, and aligned with federal reimbursement requirements. MLU provides all of this under a single, streamlined contract with a proven partner. We invite you to explore how MLU’s solutions can be integrated into your pre-disaster preparedness plans or deployed during current housing missions.
