She's one of many veterans who have gone to the organization to find a home, many of them on wheels and under 500 square feet.
The bill — sponsored by both Democrats and Republicans — was introduced in May, and must make its way through the House. Still, the bill is fueling hopes among organizations who have been on the frontlines of building these communities, including Operation Tiny Homes, which has assisted in building over a dozen of the tiny home villages.
If passed, the $100 million investment would be dispersed from 2023 to 2028, under conditions that the developers provide social services, including job and financial training, to the residents. The homes would range from 240 square feet to 340 square feet,As part of the social services, the tiny home villages also provide communal support to help address some of the mental health struggles many of these veterans have.
