Pocket Neighborhoods and Tiny Home Villages

A community within a community

No matter the name, access and affordability are the goals of most Tiny Home Villages. When paired with a community building with cooking, and sanitary facilities, they can serve as transitional shelter for the homeless at the 100 sq. ft. size. Beyond transitional housing , a 350 - 600 sq. ft. home can meet the needs of many prospective homeowners seeking to downsize, or lessen their impact on the planet.

One of the most visible and successful applications of the Tiny Home Village model has been providing housing to homeless Veterans. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs adopted a Housing First Philosophy that states in part ...people's need for housing is a basic need that should be met as quickly as possible, without any preconditions.

Profit or Non- Profit... The difference in Affordability

The idea of Tiny Home Villages are taking off all over the country. But like with anything your results may vary. Constructing a Pocket Neighborhood or Village requires land, labor, and lumber. And while building material cost may be close, the cost of land and labor can vary significantly. It may be difficult for a "For Profit" business to construct affordable Tiny Home Villages without some sort of subsidized support from a government agency. The median cost of a Tiny Home is $60,000.00. In Clarkston GA. just outside of Atlanta, some Tiny Homes have sold for $200,000.00. This style Tiny Home can be provided by a non-profit in some cases for $40,000.00.
