Jonathan Kendrick, Co-Founder and Chairman, said “ROKiT Homes was born out of a desire to lighten the burden for those struggling with housing dilemmas and communities with compelling needs. Whether it be those who lost their homes in disasters, such as the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires, congested neighborhoods that are placing a strain on local resources, or cities in-need of more medical buildings, we are here to change the status quo and prove that recovery doesn’t need to be costly to be successful.”
Kendrick added, “For those who have unfortunately lost their homes, we have made it possible for them to heal in a personalized, three-bedroom temporary home on their own lot. Rather than the nerve-wracking environment of large shelters, people can enjoy a return to privacy, security, and a space that’s all their own while they focus on rebuilding.”
ROKiT Homes currently offers five different models, which share:
- Easy transportation
- Quick assembly: have a full home ready in mere hours!
- High quality: life expectancy 25 years
- Strong: made of welded structure with galvanised steel
- Modular: design allows individual units to be joined and stacked to build larger units.
- Environmentally friendly: use no concrete and less than 50% of the energy needed to build the temporary housing solutions
- Resistant against flooding, cyclones, hurricane force winds, and made of flame-retardant grade A materials
- Easily-customizable
- ALSO AVAILABLE: support and extensive training program that covers all aspects of construction and assembly processes directly from ROKiT
ROKiT Homes has previously made their units available in Austin, Texas, within U.S. Native American reservations, and overseas in Africa, with plans in motion for an upcoming housing program in El Salvador.
“When we founded ROKiT, we knew we wanted to deliver premium products and first-of-their-kind services that everyone could benefit from. ROKiT Homes is the culmination of this goal, and it’s the housing of the future,” said Kendrick.
“We believe in compassionate capitalism, as I’m sometimes called the “compassionate capitalist” and our team is driven by innovation that will help the lives of people in need around the world. In addition to ROKiT Homes, we have established wide area mesh networking Wi-Fi services to rural communities through ROKiT Cities. We are also, through ROKiT Flix, providing medical and pharmaceutical support to victims of the Palisades fires. When people need help, we want them to feel comfortable relying on our team.”
