“Overall we had an amazing experience working with BOSS, all questions were addressed, and delivery deadline was met to avoid any delays with our project deadline. BOSS provided a relatively seamless process with very detailed direction in regard to assembly of the units. Products are of very high quality and really have provided a great housing solution alternative for our residents.”
— Bernardo Navarrete, City of Baldwin Park
“Our streets have literally become the waiting room for housing, I think this is a real game changer.”
— Elizabeth Funk, Founder of DignityMoves
“The BOSS system has been intelligently and strategically designed so the site assembly was remarkably simple. This led to a great balance between on site construction, organization and manufacturing expertise in this project.”
