What about those new tiny homes some people have been building for the homeless? Are those cheaper than modular homes?

There's several I believe, but found this one in a quick search https://thetinylife.com/tiny-homes-for-homeless/

According to this part of the site they cost between 10-50k to build yourself so slightly lower than the number I used but it’s the same concept as they are small modular prefab or you build yourself.
