Miniature housing a homelessness solution – Prince George Citizen
December 1, 2016
I was very pleased to see the first of the tiny homes for homeless erected by the Nak’azdli Whut’en First Nation. Four such homes were built, but it is a start. When used on a much larger scale, this approach to the homeless has proven to be an excellent cure for the issue of homeless peoples.
I think Salt Lake City can claim it was the first to implement this cure.
The size of these homes makes them ideal to be manufactured off site. They are 320 sq. ft. yet enough to include washers and dryers. Surely the various charities in Prince George could each build one or two on some land provided by the city as was done with some of your new Syrian residents – adopt a homeless person, build the house with volunteers, and move it to a suitable site.
