Atlanta couple wants to build container home communities
" FULTON COUNTY, Ga - An Atlanta couple said they have the solution to the Sustainable housing crisis. Elize and Majesty Gayle want to build communities filled with homes made from shipping containers. The concept of a container home community came to the couple when the pandemic hit. They are real estate investors and developers and they said the need for sustainable and affordable housing became more apparent than ever before. "The need accelerated so quickly with the pandemic and everything that was happening with unemployment," said Elize Gayle with Evo Haven.

"Building 80 units or more in these communities and create a new demographic of homeowners," said Majesty Gayle with Evo Haven. The Gayles said the 8-by-40 foot shipping containers can be transformed into homes complete with bedrooms, kitchen, bath,
