Website links directory – delayed on new site

Written by Founder on . Posted in Founder's Blog.

We have launched our new Tiny Home Directory which we have dubbed “Our world of Tiny Homes”. We want to build a resource for owners and wannabes to help us navigate the growing Tiny Home industry. If you have a tiny home related website or offer products and services for tiny homes, or you find a really great website, YouTube channel, etc. that you want to share with the community, we encourage you to submit it under Recommend a website.

Being listed in the directory is free, as we want to build the most comprehensive directory possible. All we ask is a link reference to the association website on your site so that we can spread the word about our Tiny Town mission. As the industry comes together, we can make Tiny Homes a viable housing option, now and for the future.

Advisory Board Discussions are now Open

Written by Founder on . Posted in Founder's Blog. No Comments on Advisory Board Discussions are now Open

I have now begun posting to the Advisory Board Discussions. This is where all plans and discussions about the direction of the Tiny Town Association will develop. All members of the Advisory Board are encouraged to follow and comment in any discussion that interests you, as this will form the basis for the Associations actions.

The first discussion started is regarding designing the model for Tiny Towns. I believe that building with a plan will create a better town, so I have posted my initial thoughts (well thoughts that have developed over the last year or so) and I look forward to the board’s comments. I have started with the town design as a discussion as I am beginning discussions with suppliers about town services.

Currently the Advisory Board is open to new members, so if you think you can contribute to the association’s plans, I encourage you to become a member of the board. Simply log into the site and update your profile to indicate you want to join the board or register and select Advisory Board member as a way you would like to Participate.

100,000 Supporters

Written by Founder on . Posted in Founder's Blog. No Comments on 100,000 Supporters

Our goal is to get 100,000 people to sign our petition to prove to the municipal, provincial, territorial and federal governments that Tiny Homes, and our Tiny Town initiative is something to be taken seriously. Once we have reached our target, we will present our Petition, along with our plan to make Tiny Towns a reality to all levels of government.

We are not looking to just advocate our plan, we want to enact our plan by acquiring the land, getting the correct Tiny Town zoning applied, developing the land based on the town model we are designing, then make the sites available to tiny homeowners. We are beginning discussions with some tiny home builders about construction of our social program homes, and plan to have some available in each Tiny Town when they open.

So help us get to 100,000 signatures. Tell everyone you know that has an interest in tiny homes about the association. Post us on your social feeds. When you are logged into the website, within your profile is an Invite tab. You can send invites to your friends from your profile and track who signs up. This will also track how many people that you recommend to us, sign the petition. Maybe we’ll award a prize to the member that gets the most  people to sign the petition. I am not promising anything here, because a prize is not the reason to tell people about the association. It is the strength in numbers that 100,000 signatures brings to the table. So help us grow!

 

Follow Tiny Home Communities in the News

Written by Founder on . Posted in Founder's Blog.

Note: we had stopped collecting news and YouTube videos, focusing on our own content

We have begun collecting the latest news stories that relate to Tiny Home communities from across the web. The news that we find relevant to communities we are posting an intro in our News category and linking to the original story. If you have an interest in Tiny Home communities, you will be able to follow the latest news, as it breaks through the association site.

We have also begun filtering through YouTube videos that are relevant to our THOWs community cause and are linking to them in our News category as well.

Our aim is to bring together everything that relates to THOWs communities on this website to assist the policy makers, homeowners, and partner corporations with a single portal to everything that is Tiny Town relevant. If you find information that you think is of value, send us a link to our Contact Us page, or join the association yourself!

Tiny Town Association website is active

Written by Founder on . Posted in Founder's Blog. No Comments on Tiny Town Association website is active

The Tiny Town Association website is now active. We have been working hard to formalize our Mission and create a direction towards achieving our goals. While we understand that as new information arises and we move through the plan as it exists today, modifications and improvements will be required to bring a version of our vision to reality.

If you have an interest in Tiny Houses (Homes) on Wheels, then I would extend to you an invitation to join our membership. Our goal is simply to make legal places for Tiny Homes to park. While our initial focus is in Canada (we live here), our hopes are that the association concept will extend to every country around the world, providing all people with the ability to live tiny, should they so choose.

There are no membership fees to join, just your support of the concept is enough. If you want to go further, then indicate how you would like to help out on the registration form and we will contact you to discuss what you can do to help us create a place for Tiny Homes in our world.
