Mini houses - an ideal solution because they are cheap and easy to build.

The Homing Project, a nonprofit organization in Tucson, Arizona, has been planning a project aimed at providing shelter for the homeless for more than two years.

March 1 was an important milestone in the implementation of the project: the first mini-houses for the homeless finally appeared in the village.

“We have 15 houses with bathrooms that we've already paid for,” said J. Christine Olson-Garewal, co-founder of the nonprofit.

Mini houses 6 square meters have one or two beds and are equipped with heating, air conditioning, insulation, windows, an independent solar energy system and a lock.

Homing Project has allocated almost half a hectare of land for the project and plans to build an entire village with mini-houses on it.

Besides mini houses The gated village will include private showers, a communal kitchen, laundry facilities, and community spaces.

The nonprofit will provide priority services to its residents, among other things. These include medical, dental and mental health care, substance abuse counseling and employment assistance.

“The problem is the lack of housing. That’s why we use mini-homes,” Olson-Garewal explained. “You can install them in just 25 minutes—and buy them by the dozen.”

The houses can be easily disassembled and packed for transport to another location or for storage.

The Homing Project already has plans for a second village in South Tucson.
