San Francisco-based charity New Story has teamed with Texan construction technology firm Icon to 3D print homes for $4,000 (£2,868) each. Each of the 74 sq m units can be built in under 24 hours.
According to New Story, the construction process produces no waste and the homes themselves are able to withstand harsh climates and other constraints such as limited water, power and labour.
New Story has already built 850 units for those in need, but after teaming with Icon, they were able to lower the price of a home from $6,000 (£4,303) to $4,000.
