A Tiny Solution To Homelessness Greg Cantori American Tiny House Association

What are Tiny houses? Year round living - unlike RV’s Typically less than 400 square feet Permanent, or on wheels

What we face: 600k+ homeless in US Waiting lists for affordable housing, shelters, support services Little serious conversation at political or national level Stereotyping, fear and discrimination What Housing First can do: Save thousands of $ Safety, sleep and health care Stability Community Support An address!

Why tiny: Very affordable Truly mobile…Park anywhere vehicles are allowed Lower Utilities: Potential for off-grid More location options: Back yards…construction sites…unbuildable lots…infill Can be moved closer to work Greater potential for ownership benefits vs renting

How: Buy or build Rent or buy land Accessory dwellings Convert garages, sheds, barns

Decisions: Location? Manufactured homes? RV's? Clustered or scattered site? Meet housing first goals? Provision of services? Counseling, mentoring, addiction treatment mental health, jobs….. Most important: What about the neighborhood? Oxford house: Doesn't ask permission. Move in like any family would. Good neighbors in good neighborhoods Adapt to codes and zoning? Variance? Pilot Program? Change them? Self organized autonomous vs. nonprofit organization?
