An Arizona non-profit is taking large shipping containers officials had used to prevent migrants from crossing the Mexican border, and turning them into tiny homes for people aging out of the foster care system.

Based in Tucson, the company's called Wholistic Transformation, and is a faith-based organization that's transforming the thousands of white shipping containers — previously stacked at the border by the state's previous governor, forming a makeshift border wall — into livable spaces.

Bryan Benz, the founder and CEO of Wholistic Transformation, intends to create a community of seven tiny homes on two adjoining lots.

Each one-bedroom tiny house will feature a full kitchen as well as a bathroom and a washer and dryer. Their future occupants will have a say-so in the interior design of each shipping container.
