June 27, 2024 Montebello, California— BOSS (Built On Site Systems), the technology leader in dignified housing to address homelessness, has been awarded a California Department of General Services (DGS) Statewide Contract for emergency sleeping cabins. Local agencies and cities can now skip the lengthy RFP process and simply write a purchase order to build safe and cost-effective housing for homeless individuals in their communities.
The California Department of General Services (DGS) launched a statewide procurement contract for emergency sleeping cabins. BOSS Cubez is one of a very few select vendors awarded a contract.
