Tiny & small bungalow homes are wonderful! They have the potential to be a great, rapid solution to address the housing crisis in California but let’s make some things clear about Tiny Homes; Tiny homes are NOT SHEDS!
Tiny homes have small bathrooms and kitchen areas within them. Tiny & small homes should be placed in well-put-together communities and they are great for various types of residents including those from the working class, seniors, students, and residents with low or no income. Shared kitchens and bathrooms that are within tiny home supportive** communities would be great for dwellers that cannot be offered housing right away, this includes car, van, and tent dwellers that are in need of basic resources like bathrooms and open kitchen spaces to use while making sure residents that get housed in the tiny homes, have bathrooms and kitchens within their small homes to use!
We’ve been at this housing thing for a while now, right? For at least 10 years, residents in California have been requesting housing that they can afford, so when we build tiny homes, let’s do it correctly the first time so residents living in them feel like they are in a real home because as we all know, the shelter system to permanent housing isn’t as efficient as it should be. We can pick up any random shed from a hardware store but those aren’t tiny homes, so let’s build efficient tiny & small homes that we can get long-term use out of. I think they will work great on vacant land plots & as ADUs in backyards that can support them.
Reminder; along with tiny & small homes, we also support affordable apartments, condos, and townhomes! Everyone has a right to housing that they can afford! Asking for safe, clean, and affordable housing (not sheds or temporary shelters) doesn’t make a resident “ungrateful”, it’s the BARE minimum that every person on the Earth needs along with self-love, food, water, and healthcare!
Stay blessed folks and here are some of our favorite tiny & small homes;
