This Tiny Home Village Is the Largest in the US 

This is what the federal government should be investing and funding.

i think every town should build tiny home villages so people can afford a place to live.

Honestly, the most important thing about these homes is that they can provide an address to these people. That by itself is such a barrier to getting a job or any sort of help

"good idea, bad location"? The people who protested obviously care more about the housing value of their home than the "good idea".

This should be spread all over the US. Homeless people will now have at least some shelter and help businesses by applying for a job. Such a great idea that doesn’t even cost that much. (Edit: I understand, it might be in the middle of the freeway, but at least people in need will have a nice shelter to live in. Isn’t that the most important thing?)

Finally people aren't criminalizing being homeless.

It's not just ethical to do things like this for the less fortunate - it physically makes the streets look way better. Also people operate better if they live in more accomodating enviroments with privacy and somewhere to sleep. I hope these people can start getting jobs and make their own money, even if its just at McDonalds or something because they need to use their lives for something.

It's great to see people trying to help and LIFT the homeless community UP instead of bringing it DOWN. This is positivity we need right now 🤗🌎👍.

$8,000 for someone to have a place to sleep, function and rebuild their life. *That is what the government needs to be spending money on.*

People yell at the homeless "get a job" BUT before you can Keep a job you Have To Have A Home!! This is great here!

Why would people protest this!? It breaks my heart

it’s honestly astounding how affected people feel about these tiny homes. like you pass by them on the street without a care and now that they’re gonna have somewhere to live and be safe it’s a problem makes no sense

Here’s a suggestion: instead of building new shopping centers/stadiums on empty lands/lots, build more tiny homes, affordable housing, hospitals, etc…

This won't solve the homeless crisis in California, but this small action could led to bigger changes down the road. It reminds me of some of my favorite flavor text. "You can't save everyone, but you can save one person. And they well save another person. And them another, till everyone is saved."

People always kick out homeless people anywhere they go in the city. They sleep outside a Walmart, they get kicked out, they sleep outside a restaurant, they get kicked out, they sleep in a hydro field, they get kicked out. Even in a forest they might get kicked out and depending on where you live, it might be dangerous to live in a forest because of bears and all of that. So they have nowhere to go. These houses will decrease the number of homeless people living outside places people don't want them to be so I think it's a good idea.

This is a great start. Why can't this be done across the country for the homeless population?

My mom is like those protesters. She wants the homeless to get the help they need, she doesn't want them getting the help they need in her neighborhood because it "would be unsightly". I think this is a morally abhorrent position to take. Especially because I was once homeless and to think that my own mother wouldn't want me in her neighborhood just kills me.

Awww that’s so amazing for everyone that needs a home, this should be available in every state! Rowan has beautiful eyes.

People want homeless off the streets.... when they do get off the street THEY COMPLAIN?!?!?

This is a very good way of dealing with homeless people, give them tiny homes like this instead of kicking them off the curb with their tents

I hope this could be implemented all over the country.

Unfortunately this doesn't solve the main cause for homelessness; rising cost for housing and simply lack of affordable housing.

O, that looks very comfortable, and a huge blessing for the homeless folks that work extremely hard and want to prosper a lovely home.

This should be used in all places. It would help give homeless people a safe place to sleep & would improve the community.

I can understand why people wouldn’t want them popping up next to them but it’s a good idea to find a place for little communities like this.

That looks like a small community, its certainly better than living on the street. Great work!!

I would love to have a tiny home community like this in my area!!! I hate passing people sleeping in the cold knowing I can do nothing to help! These things should be everywhere, I would love to volunteer and help construct them!

This is making me wanna cry bc Ive seen so much hate towards the homeless and ive seen many anti homeless structures. This is a great idea and im so happy for those who got a home

It has been proven that tiny homes actually bring in revenue and help increase the property value around them. I hope that this continues. it's a step in the right direction.

Now this what i prefer to have my taxes be spend on. Get them the help they need to get them off the street. I support this big time. There more big empty lots they can use to make more of these.

This type of thing should be available for every American honestly. Young people could have hope for a future if we could get a start in something like this and all our money wasn't going to a Lord.

Why did this take so long so many rich people in the world. It’s a warm bed.

i’d pay to stay here

This is such a great idea. I hope it’s a major success.

So great to have such homes for homeless...whoever has initiated or worked on this may God Bless them always

To those who said it's a good idea but a bad location, would you be willing to open up your own homes for the people in need of these tiny homes? No? Then park it.

One step to making the world a better place.

Everyone needs a safe, clean place to rest. Imagine being homeless. Kudos to those involved in this great effort. Hopefully this will help people transition into permanent housing and get the proper resources to succeed in their life.

I wish you could buy empty parking lots, Malls and set this up and charge like 100-300 dollars a month. It would fix a lot of problems. You could even combine 2 houses into one for a small family. They could be like trailer home parks in the city.

THIS is what our government needs to be doing for our population that is less fortunate. This could change so many individuals lives. Treatment a place to lay your head, and a roof over it could mean so much for so so many people! ❤️❤️❤️ I love this.🥰

I think I would be happy in a tiny house.. less stuff, less to clean 😊

Imagine if each celebrity and famous person donated 2 million dollars each.

the good things about these little homes is the people who own them don’t allow the homeless to bring in any weapons or drugs!

What a fantastic idea. There's no telling just how much good this can do for so many people. This is a second chance at a normal life. Nobody in North America should be homeless and hungry. Congratulations and best wishes to all the tiny home recipients 🤗🙏❤

This warms my heart fully. These need to be everywhere especially here in ATX though

About time California now, Arizona need this program

This touches my heart. And also makes it more safer for the city...the people and the communities.

Not only is it great that people can afford to have a roof over their heads it’s amazing to look at the unique painting on each house.

I love tiny homes and van life. Only idiots who aren't down on their luck would be selfish enough to protest.

I wonder if those people who protest become homeless how would they feel.

*Californians; “The government should do something to help the homeless”. **Govt sets up tiny home village 🏠 🏡 🏠 *Californians; “Good idea, bad location- we don’t want tiny home village in our neighborhood”. *The rest of the world; 🤔 🧐 🤷🏻‍♂️

I believe that all other states should do something like this and not put people on the street. It would help someone get back on there feet at start over. I am so for this 😎👍

This is a good start. We can do more

It's not a hand out. It's a hand up. People getting upset about new homes being built need to grow up.

I think everyone should have a home ❤️ Especially the houseless communities nationwide and worldwide ❤️

The neighbors want to help the homeless, but they don’t want to see them in their neighborhoods! Typical!

Love love love this every major city should have this.

Bring that Idea to Jacksonville Florida. Many here would be so thankful if you did.

I live next to the one in Reseda, it’s such a cute community and doesn’t bother many. The area is gated off, and it’ll help many. There’s a family that lives in their car 1 min away from there so I hope they can move in soon.

Fantastic, a step in the right direction. With motivation, perseverance, and tenacity this project could be a foothold to a much safer, and brighter future for the residents. One Love 🔥

This is well needed

The most insulting part of this is that the Politian's in LA say they built these, when in fact it was someone with a good heart who started these. Then the Politian's in LA had to start building these because it started making them look really bad when people wanted funding for it. So there is a evil side to this story.

Every major city should consider doing this as well. Help give back to those who have lost all hope. I am so Proud for those that went on with this project inspire of the negativity that others have. May God continue to Bless this project as it moves forward. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Really? An 8x8' you couldn't give them a 10x10' even? That's really cheesy, but definitely better than being on the street. This is a great program for those that take them up on it.

*Me who loves "The Smurfs" film and small things: Pack the packback bois, i know where we should go!*

It makes me sick to see people protesting those getting help being near them. “They aren’t as good as me! Keep them away! My comfort is more important than theirs! Keep them away!” Yet if they were in their position I’m sure they wouldn’t enjoy being looked at and treated as less than human.

It's cost alot more then $8000 per unit. It was $43000 for EACH tiny home they built in North Hollywood. Plus the cost of 24 hour employees, 3meals a day ect.

A very noble and worthy cause. I am however, concerned about the unforeseen long term effects like lazy people taking advantage

"Oh we like the idea just not on our street!!" Wow.

This is literally what the government should be putting funding into.

Here in the UK, we have a name for protestors like that, NIMBYs, Not In My Back Yard. Once "named & shamed", most NIMBYs changed their attitudes.

This fills my heart with warmth and joy 🙏🏼

I like how they said “it cost the city” You know damn well it’s our taxes

Tiny homes for the homeless.. beautiful and that's God's grace...

I'm glad someone is doing this. I've been wanting to do this for years

I remember someone doing this in the same place. Shortly after the city seized all the homes. Hope these people can have a future in peace.

The sheer amount of cargo shorts in that protest..

Lol everybody claims to want to help the homeless, but don't wanna be around them when they're trying to get help.

It cost the city 8,000 dollars for tiny home compare to 38,000 dollars to house someone in jail. I said this a step to the right direction.

This is so kind 😊 These thing give me misty eyes

This amazing, please bring this to more towns. 🙏

I wish they had something here in Toronto because I don't know where I'll go when my time runs out here at home...

Wtf 8000$ for one home ? This probably cost like 1500$ in my country 😂

I love this idea this is something that every city needs instead of the streets! ❤️❤️

I love this... we need this type of housing in every big city in North America.

Everyone that is willing to try deserves a home...

Only 8000? That is so cheap, with AC and Heating. This so cost effective that it should be everywhere.

Now this is the definition of helping a community

The pride and security the homeless will have should be a motivating factor. Many will receive the health care and assistant needed to make a permanent transition to a better life. Folks should push for this across the country and start to end poverty and homelessness. It's a great start. RECOGNIZE THE GOOD

8,000 dollars for each?!? WOW CA is truly the most economic inefficient state in this country... The material cost for those is barely $400, the land no doubt is 'city land' just meditate for 5 minutes on how this could have been done better and I'm sure you can come up with at least three things that would have saved more money and helped more people.

A tiny little home is still a home.

That's awesome. They should make some for people who can't afford high rent and who have children. Renting a house now a days like a 3 bedroom house for around 1,500 to 2,800 a month.

Now this is a positive story! I hope they do more of this in other cities.

Would love to see our homeless disabled/ veterans first on list.

Amazing job! Finally. Love from Sydney, Australia💝🙌

WHY WOULD THEY PROTEST? INSTEAD OF JUST BEING HAPPY FOR THE HOMELESS TO HAVE A HOME

It's actually about time Cali started fixing their homeless population, went there for a vacation and was ruined by the downtown/LA vibes of homeless.

Human Rights #14: Right to seek a safe place to live

I think this would be okay if there was weakly or monthly room checks to make sure people aren’t doing drugs or trashing the places because we all know that’s what would happen.

*It's pathetic that they don't want them there. Everyone deserves a chance.*
