Who We Are
J. L. Filbey & Sons Capital Partners (JLFS) is an approved contractor to the United States Government, the United Nations, and the Inter-American Development Bank, delivering disaster relief and sustainable affordable housing solutions at scale. We operate across all 50 U.S. states and territories, as well as internationally, partnering with governments, NGOs, and private enterprises to address urgent housing needs and long-term community resilience.
​
What We Do
JLFS deploys a rapid-build, fully self-sustaining housing system designed for speed, durability, and efficiency. Our units require no connection to power grids or sewage systems, needing only a potable water source. A standard 500 SF, 2-bedroom / 1-bath duplex unit can be ready for occupancy in as little as six days using a five-person crew.
Built using Structured Insulated Panels (SIPs) and helical pile foundations, our homes adapt to nearly any terrain while reducing cost, construction time, and environmental impact. Integrated technologies—including solar power, battery storage, advanced water and waste systems, and smart monitoring—enable carbon-negative performance.
​
Our Impact
Our community-integrated construction model empowers residents to participate in the build, providing unskilled, able-bodied individuals with valuable job skills they can carry forward into the workforce. Each home is engineered for resilience, with 180+ mph wind ratings, seismic resistance, and high-performance insulation (R-40+). Since 2006, JLFS has supported disaster-affected and underserved communities worldwide. Today, we are proud to bring that experience home—helping improve housing conditions across the United States while continuing our global mission. JLFS is committed to building more than homes.
we build resilience, opportunity, and lasting impact.
