Stew MacInnes, of Maximus Extreme Living Solutions just informed me that there will be a total of eight tiny houses on wheels on display as a Tiny Home Village at the Denver Home Show this March 20-22, 2015 at the National Western Complex in Denver, Colorado so I wanted to get this out to you as soon as possible in case you have a chance to attend and check out these tiny houses in person! Admission to the event is VERY affordable compared to workshops so you can definitely take the whole family.
And you can save $3 on tickets to get in with the promo code TINYHOMES at checkout. For more information, you can visit the Home Show Denver to learn more and to get your tickets for the show if you’d like to attend. Tiny house companies attending the show include Maximus Extreme Living Solutions, Sprout Tiny Homes, Exaco Trading Co, Tiny Diamond Homes, A Bed Over My Head, and SimBLISSity Tiny Homes.

A compassionate group of people in San Luis Obispo County, California are creating a village of tiny homes to benefit their homeless neighbors.
Right now they’ve completed their model 7′ x 16′ Cabin on Wheels which they are lovingly calling The COW.
The plan is to develop a sustainable tiny house community for their unhoused neighbors who are under-served and have fallen into homelessness.
The villagers will be building their own tiny homes on wheels with the help of their team of volunteers from the community. People can help out by donating and/or by helping to build by volunteering their time. And everyone involved will get to learn from each other while helping one another. For about $2,500 a cabin on wheels can be built for a veteran in need or other homeless person.

Right now I want to give you an update on OM Build which is a tiny house community for the homeless in Madison, Wisconsin.
If you feel called to I’d also like to invite you to help support the growth and completion of the community with your own donation.
Occupy Madison is building tiny houses for people who don’t have homes. So far, they have completed the first three tiny houses, according to this article on the Huffington Post.
The next phase is to build six more tiny houses along with a community area with a bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, and more.

DIY Tiny House Builder Looking for Space to Park & Dwell – Share Your Tiny Living Story Too!
Hi Alex and Tiny House Newsletter readers, I have been a fan of Tiny House Talk for almost a year now and I really appreciate you bringing the tiny house community together like you have.
I started building my tiny house in January and it will be livable by this December. My fiancee and I are Senior college students at Messiah College in Mechanicsburg, PA and we will be getting married on January 2.
We would like to live in our tiny house for our last semester of college in the spring but are having trouble finding a place to put our tiny house to live in from January to May. After we graduate in May we can really go anywhere but would like to look in Maryland, particularly around the Baltimore/DC area because that is where our family is.

Right now I’d like to take you on a virtual tour during my visit to an up and coming tiny house community in an Orlando, Florida RV Park (College Park Village) where Emily Lindahl, of Emily’s Tiny Adventure, is currently living simply in Elaine Walker’s tiny home.
I was glad to see so many people in Florida interested in the tiny house movement. There were over 300 people who came to the Florida Tiny House Enthusiasts Meet Up. Wow!

I had to share this story with you on a couple who has been living simply in a tiny house for the last six months and counting.
Christopher Derek and Betty Ybarra have been living in this micro cabin since December 2013. And it’s all of just 98 sq. ft.
The formerly homeless couple now have a solid roof over their heads. They park on the street and are required to move every two days to be compliant with city laws.

I’m so excited to feature this video tour of Brian Levy’s 210 sq. ft. one-level modern tiny house on wheels at Boneyard Studios thanks to Derek Diedricksen of RelaxShacks.com.
Brian designed his own tiny home because there was no set of plans out there that really met his needs.
So he ended up with a design that perfectly suits his needs. It has a big kitchen, downstairs bed, and all the amenities of home. And he built it using SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panels).
