As you’ll notice, we haven’t been sharing any new potential community designs, or locations. Developing a community is a complex process, and requires that the municipality, township, city and/or town be willing to partner with us on the development. While everyone says we need more affordable housing, and all levels of governments talk about it, very little new affordable housing is being developed. That is because through the development process, potential hurdles can stall or even derail a project. While we are currently work on 2-pojects with the potential to include almost 200-tiny homes, we will no longer post information until a partnership agreement has been reached, and we are sure the development will proceed.
We would like to announce that we recently received a grant:
The Leeds and Grenville Affordable Housing Development Lab (“The Lab”) will assist non-profit groups, municipalities, and community-minded entrepreneurs to conduct a feasibility assessment and development plan, at no cost, to move forward on an affordable housing construction project located in Leeds and Grenville, that will provide long-term affordable housing to households in need.
We are currently working with the Lab to identify a location within the municipality of Leeds & Grenville to build a showcase tiny home community. This is one of the 2 municipalities that have demonstrated a willingness to work with us, to become the host of our community model development. All homes within the community are planned to be affordable forever, cooperatively managed rental units.
