The Maui wildfire exacerbated a housing crisis. Can tiny homes and ADUs offer a solution?

After the fire destroyed homes Lahaina couldn't afford to lose, non-profits and the government are getting creative.

In September, a military jet delivered dozens of foldable steel containers, each roughly the size of a single-car garage, from Hungary to a 10-acre field in the center of the Hawaiian island of Maui.

Over the following months, organizers transformed each box into a tiny home, complete with a kitchenette, bathroom and lanai - a traditional Hawaiian veranda. They installed water wells and solar systems, and built playgrounds, gardens and resource centers.
