In the heart of Phoenix, tiny houses are being built to create more affordable housing. And in late 2018, the first tiny house community for homeless veterans opened. Arizona non-profit, Build Us Hope built it with sustainable principles, long-term durability, and aesthetically pleasing design in mind.
V13 was built on a vacant lot within an existing neighborhood with mostly small older homes. Each of the three 288 sq. ft. micro homes included beautiful big porches, and are surrounded by edible landscaping. Veteran residents manage on-site community gardens. Also, the tiny homes are available for rent or purchase, well below the area's market-rate housing—starting at $450/month. Build Us Hope helps connect residents to financing, as well as supportive services.
The groundbreaking of the next Veterans village is slated for August 2019. Coming to the same Phoenix neighborhood.

That’s AWESOME. And good to see them WITHOUT the wheels-proviso. 😀
are these for sale? Can we purchase one? Can we go buy one and move there? What are the rules to live there? Can you have dogs? I’m ready to move there? Help
Please please please please build a village for artists!
I love this and hope to see more of it!!
I salute you by having this wonderful and extremely helpful project. If only more countries would take advantage of this idea, so many people would live with dignity. I’m in Italy right now and see the need for so many people who just can’t make it on their own. Great job.
Are there any tiny houses in New York north of the city? How can that be started?
Woo! Shout out to ASU Sustainability majors helping to make affordable and sustainable housing for veterans! Go Sundevils! 😀 So glad this organization is showing the state that this is a viable solution
LOVE IT
We salute our veterans and those who’ve created such lovely homes for their comfort and affordability … BRILLIANT!!!
Very nice. However, 3 homes is not a lot.
It’s a start. The next one breaks ground in August.
WOOOOOOOO!!!!!! This is beautiful!!!! What a wonderful idea! Congratulations to you and everybody !!!!
you two are really doing beautiful work for this movement. I applaud you…thanks!
Why is there homelessness under veterans, just to understand.
Can someone respond to my my question???? Above
450 dollars a month for a tiny doll house.
that is terrible. your making out you are helping veterans . Yet your charging them a fortune.
It is a great idea but the price should be cheap.
?agree
Done ?
