The Crane WASP, also known as "the infinity 3D printer," uses locally sourced clay, mud or cement to 3D-print affordable homes. It can even use agricultural waste as aggregate. The system is now being used to build much-needed housing in Colombia.

Worst case you have a meter of traditional wall on the first floor. I like the concept!
Hell, even if it was off-grid, it would be an improvement over being homeless.
I know, right? Seems like a really cool project, and for that cheap, small non-profits could get their own.
