It's an interesting idea. I wonder what the equivalent cost would be of a caravan of the same dimensions and fittings, maybe like the caravans in holiday parks that are used for transient housing. Presumably the little prefab houses would need to be plumbed into the water and sewerage systems, also connected with electricity.
One of the obstacles would be locations - a ghetto of low cost housing has never been successful in the past, but seeding them into communities would take a massive PR drive, and most residential land has covenants preventing small houses from being built.
Another thing that has occurred to me is that the majority of our homeless are in the bigger cities and towns, where land is expensive.
I'm interested in other people's thoughts on this.
