Dignity Designed and Delivered is a Social Enterprise committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of homeless individuals by providing them with shelter. Our organization strikes a balance between social impact and financial sustainability, prioritizing the delivery of innovative, dignified, and sustainable housing solutions for those in need. While we maintain a focus on financial stability, our ultimate objective is to address homelessness and support the well-being of vulnerable communities, fostering a more equitable and inclusive society.

Dignity Designed and Delivered shelters are manufactured using high-quality product components sourced from various locations, including the USA, UAE, China, and Africa. Our shelters are designed and constructed to adhere to Sphere Humanitarian Standards at a minimum, ensuring that they meet the essential needs of the individuals and communities they serve. By leveraging international expertise and resources, we strive to provide durable, safe, and dignified shelter solutions that significantly contribute to improving the lives of those in need.

Dignity Designed and Delivered shelters are primarily procured by the United Nations and various humanitarian organizations to address the needs of displaced populations and crisis-affected communities. However, we also cater to individual clients who are interested in purchasing single units. Our shelters can be shipped to a wide range of locations, including the US, EU, Middle East, Africa, and Asia, ensuring that our durable and sustainable shelter solutions are accessible to a diverse array of customers seeking reliable and high-quality housing options.

Dignity Designed and Delivered shelters have been thoughtfully engineered to facilitate a quick and efficient assembly process. Typically, two individuals can assemble and erect a shelter in approximately 2 hours, ensuring that the housing solution can be deployed rapidly in times of need. Similarly, disassembly of the shelter is just as convenient, taking around 2 hours for two people to complete. This ease of assembly and disassembly not only enables swift deployment but also simplifies the relocation process when required.

Dignity Designed and Delivered actively encourages partnerships and collaboration with both government and non-governmental organizations that share our commitment to the United Nations Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals. By fostering strategic alliances and working together, we can combine resources, expertise, and knowledge to develop innovative and sustainable shelter solutions that have a meaningful impact on the lives of those in need. We are dedicated to creating a better future and believe that collaborative efforts are crucial to achieving our mission and contributing to the global objectives outlined in the SDGs.

Dignity Designed and Delivered shelters are the result of a collaborative design process led by the award-winning Nottingham Spirk design innovation team based in Cleveland, Ohio. Working closely with the leadership of Geopolicity Inc, the joint efforts ensured that the shelter design was carefully crafted to address the unique needs and challenges faced by displaced populations and crisis-affected communities. This partnership combined the expertise of Nottingham Spirk's innovative design capabilities with Geopolicity Inc's strategic insights, ultimately creating a durable, sustainable, and dignified shelter solution that makes a tangible difference in the lives of those it serves.

As a social enterprise, Dignity Designed and Delivered shelters is committed to serving both non-profit and commercial applications. Our primary goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of displaced and crisis-affected communities while maintaining financial sustainability. However, profits generated from our commercial uses such as temporary shelters for building sites, art shows, industrial road shows and other uses cases are reinvested into the business to finance and expand our operations, allowing us to reach more people in need. In line with our mission, we have set an ambitious internal campaign targeting the provision of housing for 1 million people. By funneling commercial profits back into our organization, we aim to achieve this goal while staying true to our social impact objectives.
