When Cheryl retired after 30 years as a public school teacher, she was living in a 1,400-square-foot home. Having raised her son as a single mom, she was ready for something new. She knew the only way she could afford a tiny house would be to build it herself, so she found a workshop with Incredible Tiny Homes. The company built a shell to her specifications, then she and some friends stayed on site to finish the interior.
Although the house is only 140 square feet with a small storage loft, it has everything she needs. She even fit in her sewing machine, a sewing table, and all her supplies. After seven years of tiny living in two different communities, she’s now at The Bird’s Nest in Texas.

About 60 minutes from Downtown Dallas in the city of Cumby, Texas, lies The Bird’s Nest, a tiny house community started by a tiny house-dweller who wanted a way to invest her 401K. Robyn was already living tiny in another community, so she knew how supportive and special tiny house villages can be.
Right now, the village has five female occupants, and Robyn said it’s become a safe place for women to empower and encourage one another! Supportive men are always welcome, and she has 10 more concrete pads ready for tiny homes or RVs for a 12-month lease. She intentionally keeps the lot rent low, at $450/month, including everything but electricity and propane.

Brian was looking for a home base for his travel plans and found this second-hand tiny house at Village Farm Austin for $80,000. He was just about to set out in his campervan when the world shut down in 2020—and he was happy for the new community he found himself in!
This house has two porches, one open to the community and the other with privacy walls that he uses for storage. He has a grand living room space decorated with his guitars and mandolin. The galley kitchen has plenty of storage, and his first-floor bedroom doubles as a bike garage. What do you think?

What happens to teenagers and young adults who age out of the foster system? Often they’re left struggling and homeless. Ruston Seaman and his non-profit New Vision are trying to solve that problem by building a village of 24 tiny homes in Philippi, West Virginia.
This village will give these vulnerable young people a stable place to live and learn essential life skills. The first tiny home is nearly finished and was unveiled at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in March. Thanks to a $750,000 grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, they hope to have five homes finished this summer. See some photos below and read more about the village from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

The founders of Providence Park recently broke ground on a 50-acre community designed to provide permanent housing, support, and income opportunities to the chronically homeless in Arkansas and based on Community First! Model: This village will eventually include 400 homes, a community garden, a health center, a functional hall, and more.
The village goes beyond putting a roof over someone’s head. It intends to provide wrap-around care for the most vulnerable, including access to mental health support and opportunities for individuals to work “on campus” and form a community. They just completed the first home and hope to have 100 finished by Spring 2025, eventually completing 400 homes in future phases of the project.

You might remember the tiny house community that Canadian millionaire Marcel LeBrun was building in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Well, he just placed house #96, meaning they’ve built a house every week since the project started two years ago! Impressive.
While there is still plenty to do, like landscaping and building some of the community structures, it’s a great start to helping the unhoused community in his area. He has been getting requests from folks across the globe on how they can replicate this kind of village! What do you think?
