Housing
Tiny Villages Inc.'s ambitious, but highly achievable plan
Tiny Villages Inc. will be able to house 500,0000 vulnerable individuals throughout the United States - and that's just the beginning! In brief, the first project Tiny Villages Inc. is working on is 50 Villages (one in each state) supporting about 10,000 people by providing access to food, water, shelter, and basic needs including but not limited to education and healthcare.
The following plans are purely representative. All drawings are intended to showcase intended design and layouts, as are outlined in the Design Standards Guideline document. Following the purchase of a property, all designs will be done with the best practices following the existing conditions of the site, and will vary from the images below.
The Five Communities
At maximum capacity, the Tiny Village Community will have FIVE distinct communities. These neighborhoods are separated based on the overarching homelessness demographics, outlined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. For the safety of all residents, these neighborhoods will remain separate and accessed by control points. Depending on the vulnerability of the group, additional safety checks and separation will be implemented.

Each home will have a carport to protect cars, increase useable outdoor space, and maximize solar production. Each house will have direct access to shared green space.
Individual Plots
Below are diagrams showcasing what design of the individual spots. Every home will have a tiny home, parking space and small green space.
Small Plots
