Youth Tiny Home Village
After nearly two years of planning, a colorful tiny home village in Oakland, CA, for unhoused youth is about to open on a one acre lot. These units have a 70sqft living space, a loft for a sleeping space, and a closet for storage. This project will provide housing for 100 of the 900 homeless youth in an area.
