GOPDD: City Won’t Let Veterans Stay Homeless, Builds Tiny Homes. Gives Them to Vets for Free

Dec 31, 2016 by Harry Hibbs

Everyone loves tiny houses these days, and everyone hates that there are so many homeless people in our country who have served to defend it in the military. Now, a group in Missouri is taking this love/hate dynamic and putting together an incredible idea.
An organization called Veterans Community project has built an entire village of tiny houses to provide homes for homeless veterans. This idea is both cost effective and empowering, and has potential to be replicated from coast to coast. Check out their story here.
Indeed this is a very righteous way to focus tiny homes on people who truly need them, instead of promoting the trendy, yuppie movement of the whole tiny house living.
