Affordable Housing

The Tiny Town Association's Affordable Rent To Own (ARTO) program in conjunction with participating municipalities will expand the affordable housing options available under social assistance programs. In addition to social assisted housing, each Tiny Town will provide sites for up to an addition 800 affordable Tiny Homes.

Our assistance model has program participants living in communities of tiny homeowners. The community will be able to provide support to program participants who are living without luxuries due to their circumstances, to see how those living without those same extravagances by choice have a similar lifestyle, but a different perspective. The community is expected to provide a comforting transition process for selected participants.

“It’s been a new lease on life,” says Byron Thorpe, one of the community’s original residents. “It was something I didn’t think I’d ever have a chance at again. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have been alive these last two or three years.”
