Xuan Cooper I agree but it's setting a precedent for us all to live like this but not in separate buildings but apartment blocks. Either sharing bathrooms and kitchens or tiny kitchenettes and shower rooms inside small studio apartments.
And it's great for the teenagers too. A lot of people don't choose to be homeless, due to sicknesses etc. What the teenagers are doing is caring, and also learning at the same time. There should be more places like this around the world. Maybe the teenagers would have something to do other then getting caught up in the wrong crowds. Whoever taught of this, this is a wonderful idea. On helping people get back on there feet. And helping people know there never alone.
No one can make any moves in life unless they have a small, safe, secure space to live in. It is the stability and foundation on which everything else in one's life is built on.
That's the part people are not getting. Making them a nice box to sleep in is a waste unless they also have a space (that is theirs) to keep it. Homeless people don't need the box, they need to 'own' a place to keep it.
Yes I love this as well. I think the builders can enjoy this as well as the dwellers. Because the size of these homes are small so you don't feel much burden building them. Also,doesn't seem like the building needs any advanced carpentry skills or electriciy. and if it's basic,students and young people can easily learn while being productive. And cleaning is also easy if you are a dweller because living space is small. The place won't take hours to clean. I just like the Idea.
Here in Spain we have 3 million empty houses (bubble, you know). They are owned by banks and greedy investors. There are 40.000 homeless people in Spain. I guess the solution is simple...
Although I don't feel that this will solve the homelessness in the US completely, since there are still a large portion of the homeless that are due to extreme mental illness and/or drug abuse, I think this is a great step forward.
The question is who's going to pay for it, who's going to make sure it's done properly, so far the government doesn't ignore the mentally ill they just lock them up in prison because it's cheaper then proper care, what about those who can't get better or are so deep into their mental illness that they'll always be a constant threat to themselves or others?

It happened to me too. It happens so much more than you think. When you lose your health you can lose everything especially if you don't have a family who gives a hoot. Many people are just a paycheck away from homelessness
@@1953beetle I'm grateful that we have universal healthcare here in Australia, but being chronically ill and unable to work has meant I've lost almost everything, newstart isn't enough to survive on and if it wasn't for the coronavirus supplement I would be struggling to keep my house.
If we all come together to show our love and compassion for one another, there would be no more homeless - It is genuine humility these kids are learning. ♡
As an older disabled lady who has experienced homelessness, I thank you for this wonderful solution! Every state should have a Sawhorse Project. I rent a room, which is my current temporary solution to my seemingly permanent housing problem. Having a tiny house would fulfill my dream & present a true solution. Bravo to you!
These programs are great. They bring a sense of pride and accomplishment to participants and they also build relationships between groups of different ages. I really appreciate these folks in Seattle sharing this. The more we all do for each other, the more we all benefit. Love to see this sort of thing in UK where we have a huge housing problem.
Morons. It's not about YOU feeling good. It's about solving homelessness. And feel-good things generally enable homelessness. Curing it is boring and not emotionally satisfying. But that's what we need to do, with real policies that institutionalize the mentally ill and expand business so jobs are more available. Not exciting, no. Doesn't give you emotional pleasure, no. But it's the answer.
Kube Dog. There can be two types of selfless ppl. The type that give to feel better and less selfish and the type that give in a different way to actually solve the problems. There's no need to talk shit to someone who wants to do be the first type. Spend your energy turning that person into the 2nd type or turning selfish pricks into either of the 2 types I mentioned.
I appreciate you trying to take it seriously and see the good in the first type. You're wrong, because the first type ends up, usually, making the problem worse because they don't think it through and end up giving to a person or group that actually makes the problem worse (or at minimum enables the problem to continue). So, they are not "doing less good, but at least some good." No. They are enabling a problem (suffering) to continue. It's like if they want to feel better about a poor homeless man on the street and give him $10. Now they feel better about themselves, and since that's all they want they didn't think it through. The homeless man may just buy alcohol or drugs to enable another day of homelessness. So, has any good been done? I don't think so, because the problem has been enabled to continue. The person who wanted to feel better about themselves actually did harm. You must want to solve the problem. If you do, you will feel deeply good about yourself afterwards, but you can't go into it looking for that. You need to want to solve the problem.
They should have tiny houses like that everywhere and anywhere so homeless people can have shelter. God bless all those who helped and cared for others.
Me too my children and I lost husband/ dad been dealing with house fire losing everything and being scared and on off homelessness I just want to own a home before I go so I can rest assure they will be good and never experience homelessness ever again
What a wonderful idea for helping others who would other wise have to stay in a shelter or even the streets! I love seeing this kind of story. Such a breath of fresh air from all the negative news and videos out there.
+Alvin Tossler Extremely large, long-term and elaborate infrastructure like Cabrini-Green? Sounds like the problem is government red tape, not infrastructure.
The reason the homes are abandoned is the communities are abandoned. There are no economic opportunities in these locations. Therefor no reason for anyone to move into these abandoned homes. Th homeless need jobs.
We definitely need more communities like this, with a central shower/washroom/kitchen. Also with a resource hall to help those get working again. It gives people hope, respect, diginity having a secured home.
@@DarkestKnightshade In Long Beach Ca. A man named Elvis was handing out little micro houses to the homeless. They made him stop. Now the houses just sit in a yard. Years later. So Sad.
+Vape Naysh So true. Keeping people homeless is very profitable for the bedbug and disease filled horror shelters. Theses shelters charge taxpayers $1,500 to $1,800 per month for each bed that they can fill - it's a disgusting racket !
This is so pleasing to hear. I was homeless with my two kids. I lived temporarily in a hotel not a good one, we rose above that and we are on housing now here in Indiana. In 5/6 mos I plan to have the trailer I put money down on paid off and I will begin to build my tiny home. I am now raising my grandbaby. I've had her since she was 8 days old with no help from her parents. I can't wait to begin my Tiny Home. You are doing a wonderful job and I'm excited about what you are doing for them.
What is wrong with American society that getting sick can lead you to ending up on the streets. I know socialism is a dirty word in the US but come on, have some kind of safety net for people.
Even if you're having a heart attack, if you don't have health insurance, the hospital won't give any medical assistance whatsoever, they just care about the money, even going to a doctor in America can cost over $200! That's why.
I live in Greece and, despite economic crisis and severe austerity measures, we still enjoy some basic benefits. Nobody gets kicked off from our hospitals, no matter what. Because they're public hospitals, not private ones. Plus, we provide shelter and health care to over 60,000 refugees at the moment (when bankrupt Greece's population is just 11,000,000). So I don't buy it, that the US government can't do anything for the homeless people. If all US citizen's taxes (which I believe are quite high) don't go for minimum public goods, then where do they go? I don't think the american society is the one to blame here.
Yes, you can turn shipping containers into low income housing. There are so many empty containers sitting across the country, and wouldn't cost much to refurbish them.
"it's great to be able to have a key and a lock.." that kinda broke my heart hearing that from a person who used to be homeless. Kudos to this wonderful project.
Now if only people flocked to do things such as this instead of flocking to sightings of rare pokemon for Pokemon Go, the world would be a better, more self sufficient, more efficient, and more caring place. Though I have a question. Do the people living in Nickelsville get to learn how to build the houses and help in building them? I believe that would be a great benefit to them as well. Hopefully they would learn to build houses themselves and would then help in the building of houses for other homeless people, passing on the knowledge and helping people as they were helped.
Excuse me, but how many houses have you built? What makes you any better than people playing Pokemon Go? God. People just can't do anything without getting attacked.
+Emma Boland I have built no houses to be completely honest. Though I have helped out in other ways such as cleaning homes and yards and clearing them of junk and potentially harmful things (such as broken glass) free of charge to get them ready for others to live in around my neighbourhood. I have also donated many things such as clothes, electronics, and food to those who are less fortunate. Also please do not jump to conclusions. I did not say I was better than anyone nor am I attacking people that play Pokemon Go. I actually did not even mention myself. Though we have to be honest. If people behaved like this to do something such as help others youtubeonrepeat.com/watch/?v=S9LZZugYUmg that would be optimal/more beneficial.
BuckGreywolfe I am not exactly sure what point you believe that Emma Boland made in your favor, but I do not think she mentioned anything about the quality of houses for the homeless. She had simply misunderstood my comment and thought I believed that I felt I was better than people that played Pokemon Go, which I do not believe that to be the case. I was merely saying that things such as this are more productive and that I wished that more people would flock to and get involved with things such as this than with trends like games or Internet challenges.
It's about time they did something like this in the UK. ..ok they've made experimental 10x10x10 cube houses but they are not aimed at homeless people and it's something that is needed desperately. .I'd be willing to help build and I am sure lpts of others would too.
Tears!! God bless you! I'm glad that homelessness is being brought to a positive light. Praying for everyone to see the truth. Many people can downsize and give in America. There shouldn't be such a struggle to survive if you are just simply falling through the cracks. I happened to fall through the cracks with my daughter and went through hell trying to get back up again after a divorce. We have a testimony in the works and are still praying for a home of our own. I've never used drugs...and it's those women with children who are overlooked and thrown into poverty. My husband didn't care about anything but himself and his lustful desires. God sees every hurt and tear shed. Praying and stay ENCOURAGED!!! Bless them ALL LORD!!
I like the idea of providing work experience for High School students, and a place to call "home" for the homeless people! Tiny homes are being considered in Canada, but not in the same way that it is in the U.S. I think Canada should seriously think of building tiny homes like these, and creating communities like this one! We have so many homeless people, it just makes me cry! I encourage this way of thinking, especially if it can at least help the homeless a little by giving them homes like the ones in this video! ~Janet in Canada
What an absolute brilliant idea. To a lot of people, homelessness are people with substance abuse and/or drinking issues, but it's more than that. Homeless people aren't throw-away people but more so fragile people who have been through a lot and need our love, compassion and understanding to rebuild their lives and have the same chance in life as everybody else. People who have it are so selfish and arrogant, and they don't realise how fragile the balance is and could easily loss it all in a blink of an eye. And the bit that frustrates me about those who have it all, they think that the homeless, hobo, tramp etc are a completely different species to who they are, guess what, they're NOT! Donating to charities once a year is all fine, but how about showing charity to those who are less fortunate, i.e. Give someone on the street a bag of clean clothes you don't wear anymore, or a cup of tea with sandwiches, even a bar of chocolate etc. Anyway with those little villages, as well as having somewhere safe and warm to live, they will be given a sense of community and belonging to a family with people who knows where they are coming from. Two broken souls together can mend and eventually become two happy and healthy souls. Remember we weren't born broken, negative circumstances and abuse beyond our control will break your a person's spirit, but with love, compassion and understanding from others, we can be mended. And it's proven facts that when someone with an addictive personality is given something to live for and surrounded by love and support, the drugs, alcohol that was their crutch to coping with life will become less important to them as the confidence within them grow. All they want is for someone to not judge them but to listen, treat them like a human being and be a friend, and most importantly and obviously what this project is giving to them, something worthwhile to live for.
Yes, please do something, it's really bad here. Do something, please. End homelessness. Use your idea, whatever it is, they're doing temporary shelters so permanent if that's your idea. Please go for it. People need a place to live. It's not what houses are for but not. It's confused here.
this is a great idea & we should be supporting projects like this on a global scale. I'm going to raise this issue in my community & see if we can do it here in Sydney Australia. everyone deserves a home, a place they can feel safe.
This is amazing what your doing for people, this is how people should be acting, by helping and working together in this world instead of fighting each other in America. You guys are amazing people, keep up your good work.
This is totally my speed would luv to join a community like this! No trouble just self substaind living,and community! You guys are amazing. This gives me hope.
This is amazing!! Thank you guys SO MUCH for doing this!! There are so many rich people out there who really could help do something to help others. Not just donating to charities but actually DO SOMETHING to help. And they don't, they spend money on new cars, 300,000 dollar homes and everything. It just makes me sick that people who would actually help never get enough money to help and people who are stingy win all kinds of money. Like wow omg!!!
It looks like a great stepping stone to new life. A new beginning for the people. If you guys need any free design msg us. Also take a look at our basic studio units at low cost of $3,900 for 180sqf. Keep up the good work
The concept of tiny homes is really great. Certainly it does not solve all problems that come along with homelessness but it helps. I hoe this project can go on and expand to help more people. Great job!!
honestly I'm only 14 but it gives me endless joy providing and aiding the homeless , but I have 1 question do any officials make homeless move the homes thank you I love the things you do
nope it is gone unfortunately--I always thought that it was a great use for the land there--for those who don't know, this was a piece of land in the middle of downtown waste pretty much between a freeway offramp and industrial complexes like a giant goodwill down the street. Pity they got rid of it, especially since they are kicking out more people from "the Jungle" where those hundreds of people will go is a question mark.
Because most of them are slimy criminal pigs. They need to clean up their own minds and attitudes, and until they do that, they will just get brushed from one dark corner to the next. And the mentally ill need to be put in a public facility. Or they can live in your back yard, douche bags, and there's nothing stopping you from adopting a homeless person TODAY if that's what you think should happen. But no, you would rather them live in my back yard, I'm sure, and then cry happy tears over what a good person YOU are.
This is amazing and like you said most kids don't get to build houses, but my school actually has a manufacturing company and they build a house every year.
It's not the people who are the problem, it's the system. America, step up, and get better health care and social programs. More socialism does not equal communism.
Achilles Pelides yepp... Im swiss and ive never seen someone living on the streets. Someone asking for money, yes. But to actually live on the road for more than a day is something you dont really find. And thats because of good programs that prevent this. In the us, you can get sick and lose everything. Here, thats not possible. Of course we have problems. And we do have poverty problems. But the system is way better (so i believe) in this aspect than in the us.
***** in what way am i on a cloud 9? i never denied problems that our system has. i just believe that in this one aspect it handels it better than the us. there surely are things that are better in the us than in switzerland. no country or system is perfect now is it? we can always improve it
***** that was not my intention. no system is perfect, nor the swiss nor the american. i just think that in this one aspect switzerland managed to find a better solution. there are other points where the us may have better solutions
This is a beautiful blessing. I know several people who could benefit with this project, here in the San Fernando Valley. A perfect plan to homelessness. Many Blessings to All
Dear God, Please donate lots of all the equipment that is needed for all the home for the Homeless in all states and countries and please help this and all organizations that are helping the homeless have an abundance of supplies to build the homes 💖 Thank You God 👍👍💖 💖💖💞👼 🌟 Amen 👍👍👼🌟💖 We Care! 👍👼🌟
I love this. It would be a great program for school kids to do everywhere. Get the woodwork teacher out with them and make it a real learning experience while providing much needed help to those in need.
wish that my daughter and I had one of these last summer... can't survive in Texas in a car in the summer, we went to Colorado and stayed out an old logging road, in a four man tent..... One of the best summers of my life... but this shelter would of kept the raccoons from destroying our much needed shelter in the end.... being homeless isnt fun, these would make the basic worries of survival much easier to take....❤
Awesome point of view! I am almost 57 & my life partner is 53, we are a monogamous gay couple who have been homeless almost 2 years. I was born with tourettes syndrome & bipolar disorder & been battling P.T.S.D for over 10 years, I got to where I couldn't hold a job after working all my life, my husband hot laid off as a para-teacher & it's hard, very hard! your tiny homes are absolutely wonderful!
2:22 So since you help put up insulation you now know how to make tools you bought from Home Depot and know to survive on a island...................................
Matty P - Sooo from this small clip of her putting up insulation you conclude that that is all she did and all she is capable of doing. And she said she can probably make tools, she didn't say make the same kind of tools that you can buy from HD. Holy shit you are a douche.
me too. if u haven't been homeless. then u don't k what it is like. please don't say you're sorry for us. Instead, try and help us. A lot of us could have hidden skills that you might not know that we have. Just try and help but that's all we ask
+lxCRON1Cxl I was homeless for a while but because I had a nice phone, nice clothes from before I lost everything and nice shoes no one knew I was homeless until I pulled out my sleeping back and slept on a bench outside of a train station. homeless people don't always "look homeless" many of them own computers or phones from before their life took a down fall.
Betteridge's Law of Headlines. no, tiny houses won't assist getting people out of homelessness, in fact, it'll actually disvantage those homeless people because of the difficulty in moving on from places that have no insulation, running water, electricity or sewerage connections, and where they might be victimised by local dickheads who smash their stuff up. when you're homeless, you really REALLY don't want other people to know where you sleep - it's just too dangerous. these people are building a slum and expecting people to thank them for it.
But what's the alternative that doesn't put them in the exact situation you're describing? They still experienced all those things without a shelter, but now at least they have a place to safely sleep and protect their belongings when they try to look for work. I mean, I personally support the concept of Housing First, but the majority of states go so far as to criminalize things that people simply have to do (like sleep). I understand your criticism, but what other option doesn't put these people back in the same shitty situation with all the same shitty baggage as before? We shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Besides, it looks like they're working with a local high school shop class. I've been so pissed as I see schools cut funding to life classes, when they could do something cheaply and with utility and provide a meaningful experience. Anyway, that's my view, we could do lightyears better for these people, but at least they're doing something constructive
putting them in the empty houses that outnumber homeless people in basically every western country on the planet. we just had a housing boom and then a financial crash, so there's lots of them. and they can't protect their belongings when they're not there. these tiny dwellings restrict homeless people from being able to get jobs.
Right, I said I support housing first too, but the vast majority of people don't (and our representatives too, which is ultimately more important). Even though trial programs in a couple towns have been very successful, we are still in the vast minority and there's no political will behind the concept. So now that housing first is not a realistic option, what is the alternative? And they have a key to these tiny homes so they they *can* lock up their belongings. How would these homes restrict them more now than when they didn't have a shelter? All of the issues that prevent people living on the streets from getting a job are *still there* if you take away these shelters. I'm not saying these shelters are good per se, but they prevent some of the bad that comes along when you don't have a home.
because the homes themselves would then also become part of the homeless peoples' belongings, and if left unguarded might be vandalised or broken in to or burned down or otherwise destroyed. it's not like they're real houses, you know? they just create MORE problems for homeless people. they don't prevent any. they don't stop homeless people from freezing in winter, and they don't stop them from heat exhaustion and stroke in summer. there's no heating and no air-conditioning, remember? what they do is as follows - they tie those homeless people to places that are out-of-sight-out-of-mind to most other people, and you expect to be THANKED for that? their problems don't go away, they just get swept under the rug, and seeing shit like this lets people like *you* think that you're justified in ignoring the fact that humanity is self-destructing in your own backyard but that's okay because it's not happening to *you*. the other thing is, they have NO SERVICES ATTACHED. no electricity, no water, no gas, no sewerage, no internet. they are LITERAL SLUM HOUSES that are put in places where the police don't go unless it's to harass the homeless people anyway. these people are creating third-world areas inside America, and you're PROUD of that? and expect to be THANKED? get fucked.
Why not build full tiny homes with kitchen and bathrooms? Costs a bit more but it provides them with a real home. After some time to get on their feet they can start paying rent on it.
Because right now they're just "shelters", but once you start putting in permanent structures then you need permits, and when you need permits you need to obey zoning regulations and building codes and a whole other mess of stuff that they simply wouldn't be able to afford. Yes, homelessness is expensive and it becomes infinitely harder to find work when you don't have a physical address etc, but mostly it's extremely dangerous and the ability to sleep safely and protect your belongings makes a huge difference especially while you are looking for a job.
I admire your work. How do you acquire the land to build the community ? How did you tap into the water and sewer systems ? Was this a previous building site ? Thank you for your good work ! Bunny
That's .17% of the population. Most of whom need mental or addiction care. Who closed down the mental hospitals and passed laws against taking mentally ill into protective custody? You can find out.
If you exclude over 65 and minors, the US has about 190 million people. So, more than 1 in 4 are homeless? Uh, huh. Okay. I exclude seniors and kids because they have FICA income if destitute. You're a moron. You don't think at all. You just believe and repeat fake stats, because you're a douche. You should be on America's Got Douche, because you'd win.
Also to all those teenagers , I wanna Thank you for volunteering your time and services on the making of the Tiny homes.
They're just bedrooms not self contained homes. Washing, toilet and kitchen facilities are shared.

I agree but it's setting a precedent for us all to live like this but not in separate buildings but apartment blocks. Either sharing bathrooms and kitchens or tiny kitchenettes and shower rooms inside small studio apartments.
And it's great for the teenagers too. A lot of people don't choose to be homeless, due to sicknesses etc. What the teenagers are doing is caring, and also learning at the same time.

No one can make any moves in life unless they have a small, safe, secure space to live in. It is the stability and foundation on which everything else in one's life is built on.
YEAH YOU'RE RIGHT!!
That's the part people are not getting. Making them a nice box to sleep in is a waste unless they also have a space (that is theirs) to keep it. Homeless people don't need the box, they need to 'own' a place to keep it.
I love that more and more people are caring for others.
And there's no such thing as too much of that.
This is such a beautiful thing!!
+YettaBonez +John Benton So much LOVE for all
Yes I love this as well. I think the builders can enjoy this as well as the dwellers. Because the size of these homes are small so you don't feel much burden building them. Also,doesn't seem like the building needs any advanced carpentry skills or electriciy. and if it's basic,students and young people can easily learn while being productive. And cleaning is also easy if you are a dweller because living space is small. The place won't take hours to clean. I just like the Idea.
All good points; well-put. Thank you.
Here in Spain we have 3 million empty houses (bubble, you know). They are owned by banks and greedy investors. There are 40.000 homeless people in Spain. I guess the solution is simple...

You're wrong, because the first type ends up, usually, making the problem worse because they don't think it through and end up giving to a person or group that actually makes the problem worse (or at minimum enables the problem to continue). So, they are not "doing less good, but at least some good." No. They are enabling a problem (suffering) to continue. It's like if they want to feel better about a poor homeless man on the street and give him $10. Now they feel better about themselves, and since that's all they want they didn't think it through. The homeless man may just buy alcohol or drugs to enable another day of homelessness. So, has any good been done? I don't think so, because the problem has been enabled to continue. The person who wanted to feel better about themselves actually did harm. You must want to solve the problem. If you do, you will feel deeply good about yourself afterwards, but you can't go into it looking for that. You need to want to solve the problem.

They should have tiny houses like that everywhere and anywhere so homeless people can have shelter. God bless all those who helped and cared for others.
I'm glad this is happening. I hope it becomes more widespread.
Paru Ap,probably won’t because most towns have restrictions against small houses unless they are on wheels!
I've been on the street for a year now , I'm so tired its not funny sleeping behind stores ... I would absolutely love this I absolutely need this.
Me too my children and I lost husband/ dad been dealing with house fire losing everything and being scared and on off homelessness I just want to own a home before I go so I can rest assure they will be good and never experience homelessness ever again
I don't know how to thank you for all the hard work building small homes for homeless people a big thanks to all of you 😁😁😁😁😁😊
This will really help the homeless it warms my heart that people are helping others
What a wonderful idea for helping others who would other wise have to stay in a shelter or even the streets! I love seeing this kind of story. Such a breath of fresh air from all the negative news and videos out there.

In the USA, we have more abandoned homes than homeless people. We don't need more homes, we need to preserve those we already have.
Thanks god somebody knows it. Poverty is a political and psychological problem. We can largely provide basic needs to everybody in the OCDE.
sure just convince those people to donate their homes that are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and we are good to go
***** www.mintpressnews.com/empty-homes-outnumber-the-homeless-6-to-1-so-why-not-give-them-homes/207194/
+Alvin Tossler Extremely large, long-term and elaborate infrastructure like Cabrini-Green? Sounds like the problem is government red tape, not infrastructure.
The reason the homes are abandoned is the communities are abandoned. There are no economic opportunities in these locations. Therefor no reason for anyone to move into these abandoned homes. Th homeless need jobs.
We definitely need more communities like this, with a central shower/washroom/kitchen. Also with a resource hall to help those get working again. It gives people hope, respect, diginity having a secured home.
Yes we need to do this all over the US!
BuckGreywolfe why don't we just fail an economics course?
'It's great to be able to have a key and a lock on a door' - things we take for granted everyday!!
we need allot of those here in California I'll help. ..especially los angeles and san fernando vally
California will just seize the houses and destroy them.
@@DarkestKnightshade In Long Beach Ca. A man named Elvis was handing out little micro houses to the homeless. They made him stop. Now the houses just sit in a yard. Years later. So Sad.
Sacramento too. It's fucking sad here...
They will just be destroyed. The emphasis is on punishing the homeless.
They probably can, if the government will allow it
+Vape Naysh So true. Keeping people homeless is very profitable for the bedbug and disease filled horror shelters. Theses shelters charge taxpayers $1,500 to $1,800 per month for each bed that they can fill - it's a disgusting racket !

Sure there is, there is absolutely a market for affordable portable housing. If they're weren't, then the trailer home would not exist.
I really hope this project continues being successful. :D
It will never be successful. Never.
This is so pleasing to hear. I was homeless with my two kids. I lived temporarily in a hotel not a good one, we rose above that and we are on housing now here in Indiana. In 5/6 mos I plan to have the trailer I put money down on paid off and I will begin to build my tiny home. I am now raising my grandbaby. I've had her since she was 8 days old with no help from her parents. I can't wait to begin my Tiny Home. You are doing a wonderful job and I'm excited about what you are doing for them.
What is wrong with American society that getting sick can lead you to ending up on the streets. I know socialism is a dirty word in the US but come on, have some kind of safety net for people.
Even if you're having a heart attack, if you don't have health insurance, the hospital won't give any medical assistance whatsoever, they just care about the money, even going to a doctor in America can cost over $200! That's why.
Socialism makes MORE people poor and homeless. The best way out of poverty is a job.
I live in Greece and, despite economic crisis and severe austerity measures, we still enjoy some basic benefits. Nobody gets kicked off from our hospitals, no matter what. Because they're public hospitals, not private ones.
Plus, we provide shelter and health care to over 60,000 refugees at the moment (when bankrupt Greece's population is just 11,000,000).
So I don't buy it, that the US government can't do anything for the homeless people. If all US citizen's taxes (which I believe are quite high) don't go for minimum public goods, then where do they go?
I don't think the american society is the one to blame here.
Unfortunately we live in a very unsympathetic world. If you don't have a favorable situation it's hard to get people to care
We spend trillions on homeless people, we have a safety net, but people have to try to work.
That's what we need more in this world LOVE not hate!
Terrific that people are reaching out to others. I love it. Much Love from Canada!
Dawn Dennis Eh mate! Where ya from in Canada?

Yes, you can turn shipping containers into low income housing. There are so many empty containers sitting across the country, and wouldn't cost much to refurbish them.
as a conservative, I don't care if the person is lazy, drug addict, or whatever. You don't have to do anything to deserve the kindness of people.
i absolutely adore this. i would love to be apart of something like this. this is awesome and amazing.
+BuckGreywolfe i will
Tyra Burnett Me too! :)
Tyra Burnett don't be apart, be a part.
DashaAZ vln You know what she meant. I agree with her! Why be a wet blanket and "correct" her?
No you wouldn't! Not after you see this. th-cam.com/video/n6h7fL22WCE/w-d-xo.html
Yes it can help, I currently stay in a homeless village in Scotland and it has helped me so much.
"it's great to be able to have a key and a lock.." that kinda broke my heart hearing that from a person who used to be homeless. Kudos to this wonderful project.
Even adding solar panels and back up electric generators is also a must.
I'm glad more and more people are caring about our homeless people! ....God bless ......
Now if only people flocked to do things such as this instead of flocking to sightings of rare pokemon for Pokemon Go, the world would be a better, more self sufficient, more efficient, and more caring place. Though I have a question. Do the people living in Nickelsville get to learn how to build the houses and help in building them? I believe that would be a great benefit to them as well. Hopefully they would learn to build houses themselves and would then help in the building of houses for other homeless people, passing on the knowledge and helping people as they were helped.
Excuse me, but how many houses have you built? What makes you any better than people playing Pokemon Go? God. People just can't do anything without getting attacked.
+Emma Boland I have built no houses to be completely honest. Though I have helped out in other ways such as cleaning homes and yards and clearing them of junk and potentially harmful things (such as broken glass) free of charge to get them ready for others to live in around my neighbourhood. I have also donated many things such as clothes, electronics, and food to those who are less fortunate. Also please do not jump to conclusions. I did not say I was better than anyone nor am I attacking people that play Pokemon Go. I actually did not even mention myself. Though we have to be honest. If people behaved like this to do something such as help others
youtubeonrepeat.com/watch/?v=S9LZZugYUmg that would be optimal/more beneficial.
You can start GABE by handing 90% of your paycheck over to me now. I'll build tiny houses for the homeless. Pay up fucker.
Lol... The maker is satanic. Okay weirdo. Go troll somewhere else, not on an inspirational video. Your negativity sickens me.
BuckGreywolfe I am not exactly sure what point you believe that Emma Boland made in your favor, but I do not think she mentioned anything about the quality of houses for the homeless. She had simply misunderstood my comment and thought I believed that I felt I was better than people that played Pokemon Go, which I do not believe that to be the case. I was merely saying that things such as this are more productive and that I wished that more people would flock to and get involved with things such as this than with trends like games or Internet challenges.
It's about time they did something like this in the UK. ..ok they've made experimental 10x10x10 cube houses but they are not aimed at homeless people and it's something that is needed desperately. .I'd be willing to help build and I am sure lpts of others would too.
Tears!! God bless you! I'm glad that homelessness is being brought to a positive light. Praying for everyone to see the truth. Many people can downsize and give in America. There shouldn't be such a struggle to survive if you are just simply falling through the cracks. I happened to fall through the cracks with my daughter and went through hell trying to get back up again after a divorce. We have a testimony in the works and are still praying for a home of our own. I've never used drugs...and it's those women with children who are overlooked and thrown into poverty. My husband didn't care about anything but himself and his lustful desires. God sees every hurt and tear shed. Praying and stay ENCOURAGED!!! Bless them ALL LORD!!
I like the idea of providing work experience for High School students, and a place to call "home" for the homeless people! Tiny homes are being considered in Canada, but not in the same way that it is in the U.S. I think Canada should seriously think of building tiny homes like these, and creating communities like this one! We have so many homeless people, it just makes me cry! I encourage this way of thinking, especially if it can at least help the homeless a little by giving them homes like the ones in this video! ~Janet in Canada
What an absolute brilliant idea. To a lot of people, homelessness are people with substance abuse and/or drinking issues, but it's more than that. Homeless people aren't throw-away people but more so fragile people who have been through a lot and need our love, compassion and understanding to rebuild their lives and have the same chance in life as everybody else. People who have it are so selfish and arrogant, and they don't realise how fragile the balance is and could easily loss it all in a blink of an eye. And the bit that frustrates me about those who have it all, they think that the homeless, hobo, tramp etc are a completely different species to who they are, guess what, they're NOT! Donating to charities once a year is all fine, but how about showing charity to those who are less fortunate, i.e. Give someone on the street a bag of clean clothes you don't wear anymore, or a cup of tea with sandwiches, even a bar of chocolate etc. Anyway with those little villages, as well as having somewhere safe and warm to live, they will be given a sense of community and belonging to a family with people who knows where they are coming from. Two broken souls together can mend and eventually become two happy and healthy souls. Remember we weren't born broken, negative circumstances and abuse beyond our control will break your a person's spirit, but with love, compassion and understanding from others, we can be mended. And it's proven facts that when someone with an addictive personality is given something to live for and surrounded by love and support, the drugs, alcohol that was their crutch to coping with life will become less important to them as the confidence within them grow. All they want is for someone to not judge them but to listen, treat them like a human being and be a friend, and most importantly and obviously what this project is giving to them, something worthwhile to live for.
Aw man! I thought I had an original idea! I guess I could still do this, too. Love it!
Yes, please do something, it's really bad here. Do something, please. End homelessness. Use your idea, whatever it is, they're doing temporary shelters so permanent if that's your idea. Please go for it. People need a place to live. It's not what houses are for but not. It's confused here.
Positive around project,the no substance rule is a good one as well.
this is a great idea & we should be supporting projects like this on a global scale. I'm going to raise this issue in my community & see if we can do it here in Sydney Australia. everyone deserves a home, a place they can feel safe.
Very admirable of her
Bless them all people, those who had the idea of , and poor homeless people who found a bit of space and can feel safe 🙆🙌
This is great!
I want to volunteer now after watching this over and over again
Where can I sign up.
I have the knowage.and love it.
This is absolutely the most fabulous thing I have seen on youtube for a long time. I love these people.
Great job people =)
Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the homeless and your community!
This is amazing what your doing for people, this is how people should be acting, by helping and working together in this world instead of fighting each other in America. You guys are amazing people, keep up your good work.
Excellent,well done,nice to see someone helping
SAME444♊️
This is totally my speed would luv to join a community like this! No trouble just self substaind living,and community! You guys are amazing. This gives me hope.
These kids are amazing people!
This is amazing!! Thank you guys SO MUCH for doing this!! There are so many rich people out there who really could help do something to help others. Not just donating to charities but actually DO SOMETHING to help. And they don't, they spend money on new cars, 300,000 dollar homes and everything. It just makes me sick that people who would actually help never get enough money to help and people who are stingy win all kinds of money. Like wow omg!!!
Seattle, the home of great ideas.
Thank You. That's all I have too say. You guys have changed people's lifes for the better. I thank you for being such a inspiration to me. Thank You!
It looks like a great stepping stone to new life. A new beginning for the people. If you guys need any free design msg us. Also take a look at our basic studio units at low cost of $3,900 for 180sqf. Keep up the good work
The concept of tiny homes is really great. Certainly it does not solve all problems that come along with homelessness but it helps. I hoe this project can go on and expand to help more people. Great job!!
Yes it can indeed
honestly I'm only 14 but it gives me endless joy providing and aiding the homeless , but I have 1 question do any officials make homeless move the homes
thank you
I love the things you do
this is on correctly zoned land. You can use Google to look it up.
I will take your word I was just curious
Dee Dee
I wish I could see the good in people like this
god bless the people that builds these houses for the homeless
Didn't this just get torn down? over by the Boro School and Goodwill? Or am I thinking of another place?
Yes, everyone was kicked out by the Police.
nope it is gone unfortunately--I always thought that it was a great use for the land there--for those who don't know, this was a piece of land in the middle of downtown waste pretty much between a freeway offramp and industrial complexes like a giant goodwill down the street. Pity they got rid of it, especially since they are kicking out more people from "the Jungle" where those hundreds of people will go is a question mark.
omfug why where they kicked out? :(
Because most of them are slimy criminal pigs. They need to clean up their own minds and attitudes, and until they do that, they will just get brushed from one dark corner to the next. And the mentally ill need to be put in a public facility. Or they can live in your back yard, douche bags, and there's nothing stopping you from adopting a homeless person TODAY if that's what you think should happen. But no, you would rather them live in my back yard, I'm sure, and then cry happy tears over what a good person YOU are.

That's gr8! I think of this everyday! It's important that we help one another without being judgmental.
This is awesome...but do u have to pay for the land, like lot rent? Ik the government doesn't allow anything for free 😒
SAMMIsLIFE I read that they had to take down all the structures.
This is amazing and like you said most kids don't get to build houses, but my school actually has a manufacturing company and they build a house every year.
It's not the people who are the problem, it's the system. America, step up, and get better health care and social programs. More socialism does not equal communism.
Achilles Pelides BERNIE OR BUST!!!
or just make more jobs
Achilles Pelides yepp... Im swiss and ive never seen someone living on the streets. Someone asking for money, yes. But to actually live on the road for more than a day is something you dont really find. And thats because of good programs that prevent this. In the us, you can get sick and lose everything. Here, thats not possible. Of course we have problems. And we do have poverty problems. But the system is way better (so i believe) in this aspect than in the us.
***** in what way am i on a cloud 9?
i never denied problems that our system has. i just believe that in this one aspect it handels it better than the us. there surely are things that are better in the us than in switzerland. no country or system is perfect now is it? we can always improve it
***** that was not my intention. no system is perfect, nor the swiss nor the american. i just think that in this one aspect switzerland managed to find a better solution. there are other points where the us may have better solutions
This is a beautiful blessing. I know several people who could benefit with this project, here in the San Fernando Valley. A perfect plan to homelessness. Many Blessings to All
I'm not homeless but I want a tiny home so bad.
Building the tiny homes was such a great idea. God bless and thanks for sharing.
Dear God,
Please donate lots of all the equipment that is needed for all the home for the Homeless in all states and countries and please help this and all organizations that are helping the homeless have an abundance of supplies to build the homes 💖
Thank You God 👍👍💖 💖💖💞👼 🌟
Amen 👍👍👼🌟💖
We Care! 👍👼🌟
I love this. It would be a great program for school kids to do everywhere. Get the woodwork teacher out with them and make it a real learning experience while providing much needed help to those in need.
I object to the term, "Encampment" it implies it is illegitimate.
To me "Encampment" doesn't imply illegitimacy, but does imply "temporary".
I'm in the process of becoming a peer counselor and I'm going to school. This sounds like a great idea. I can't wait to gather more information
so cute,, even I wash I had one those houses 😍
I wish there was something like that in my country. I have financial problems AND would like to learn those things. What they're doing is great!
wish that my daughter and I had one of these last summer... can't survive in Texas in a car in the summer, we went to Colorado and stayed out an old logging road, in a four man tent..... One of the best summers of my life... but this shelter would of kept the raccoons from destroying our much needed shelter in the end.... being homeless isnt fun, these would make the basic worries of survival much easier to take....❤
We need this In Philly. What an empowering opportunity for the youth and the homeless
that's nice I want to do this when I grow up right now I am 7
Awwww..Thats so wonderful and amazing!!!
God Bless Us All!!!
this is the best thing ever you guys are amazing
Awesome point of view! I am almost 57 & my life partner is 53, we are a monogamous gay couple who have been homeless almost 2 years. I was born with tourettes syndrome & bipolar disorder & been battling P.T.S.D for over 10 years, I got to where I couldn't hold a job after working all my life, my husband hot laid off as a para-teacher & it's hard, very hard! your tiny homes are absolutely wonderful!
2:22 So since you help put up insulation you now know how to make tools you bought from Home Depot and know to survive on a island...................................
why not help out rather than ridicule?
Matty P - Sooo from this small clip of her putting up insulation you conclude that that is all she did and all she is capable of doing. And she said she can probably make tools, she didn't say make the same kind of tools that you can buy from HD. Holy shit you are a douche.
A big Thank You to the young men & woman helping build these houses.
I would like one of those homes. me being alone. i have no place to live In Denver.
awwwpp :'( God Bless!
Many people would be happy to have their own shed, including me. No one in this country should have to live under a bridge.
me too. if u haven't been homeless. then u don't k what it is like. please don't say you're sorry for us. Instead, try and help us. A lot of us could have hidden skills that you might not know that we have. Just try and help but that's all we ask
How you on the damn internet. McDonald's free fuckin wifi.
+lxCRON1Cxl I was homeless for a while but because I had a nice phone, nice clothes from before I lost everything and nice shoes no one knew I was homeless until I pulled out my sleeping back and slept on a bench outside of a train station. homeless people don't always "look homeless" many of them own computers or phones from before their life took a down fall.
Truly awesome and Keep up with great work! Thank you =)
Betteridge's Law of Headlines. no, tiny houses won't assist getting people out of homelessness, in fact, it'll actually disvantage those homeless people because of the difficulty in moving on from places that have no insulation, running water, electricity or sewerage connections, and where they might be victimised by local dickheads who smash their stuff up. when you're homeless, you really REALLY don't want other people to know where you sleep - it's just too dangerous. these people are building a slum and expecting people to thank them for it.
But what's the alternative that doesn't put them in the exact situation you're describing? They still experienced all those things without a shelter, but now at least they have a place to safely sleep and protect their belongings when they try to look for work. I mean, I personally support the concept of Housing First, but the majority of states go so far as to criminalize things that people simply have to do (like sleep). I understand your criticism, but what other option doesn't put these people back in the same shitty situation with all the same shitty baggage as before? We shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Besides, it looks like they're working with a local high school shop class. I've been so pissed as I see schools cut funding to life classes, when they could do something cheaply and with utility and provide a meaningful experience. Anyway, that's my view, we could do lightyears better for these people, but at least they're doing something constructive
putting them in the empty houses that outnumber homeless people in basically every western country on the planet. we just had a housing boom and then a financial crash, so there's lots of them.
and they can't protect their belongings when they're not there. these tiny dwellings restrict homeless people from being able to get jobs.
Right, I said I support housing first too, but the vast majority of people don't (and our representatives too, which is ultimately more important). Even though trial programs in a couple towns have been very successful, we are still in the vast minority and there's no political will behind the concept. So now that housing first is not a realistic option, what is the alternative?
And they have a key to these tiny homes so they they *can* lock up their belongings. How would these homes restrict them more now than when they didn't have a shelter? All of the issues that prevent people living on the streets from getting a job are *still there* if you take away these shelters. I'm not saying these shelters are good per se, but they prevent some of the bad that comes along when you don't have a home.
because the homes themselves would then also become part of the homeless peoples' belongings, and if left unguarded might be vandalised or broken in to or burned down or otherwise destroyed. it's not like they're real houses, you know? they just create MORE problems for homeless people. they don't prevent any. they don't stop homeless people from freezing in winter, and they don't stop them from heat exhaustion and stroke in summer. there's no heating and no air-conditioning, remember?
what they do is as follows - they tie those homeless people to places that are out-of-sight-out-of-mind to most other people, and you expect to be THANKED for that? their problems don't go away, they just get swept under the rug, and seeing shit like this lets people like *you* think that you're justified in ignoring the fact that humanity is self-destructing in your own backyard but that's okay because it's not happening to *you*.
the other thing is, they have NO SERVICES ATTACHED. no electricity, no water, no gas, no sewerage, no internet. they are LITERAL SLUM HOUSES that are put in places where the police don't go unless it's to harass the homeless people anyway.
these people are creating third-world areas inside America, and you're PROUD of that? and expect to be THANKED? get fucked.
why u are so negative!!
Love that this young man is not that old but building a tiny house for someone. 💞💓💗💕. Awesome ❣️
So awesome.
Why not build full tiny homes with kitchen and bathrooms? Costs a bit more but it provides them with a real home. After some time to get on their feet they can start paying rent on it.
Who will pay for all of that? Electric bill and water bill?
Because right now they're just "shelters", but once you start putting in permanent structures then you need permits, and when you need permits you need to obey zoning regulations and building codes and a whole other mess of stuff that they simply wouldn't be able to afford. Yes, homelessness is expensive and it becomes infinitely harder to find work when you don't have a physical address etc, but mostly it's extremely dangerous and the ability to sleep safely and protect your belongings makes a huge difference especially while you are looking for a job.
V boy
Who pays for subsidized housing now? There's your answer
I assume there is a shared toilet and shower block for them to use which means going outside to use it. There is a shared kitchen.
lemsip That's really cool :)
Funny how no one sees this for what it is, the first step towards shantytowns.
......THANK YOU! now, i want to 'hump' your leg, Johnny!..... Rastaman goats, chickens, ducks, burro, horse, vegetable garden, murals, painted tables & chairs..... TOURISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!/($$$$$)..... :-)
Thank you Seeker Stories. It's heart warming to see positive news and even learn a thing or two in the process.
ilove this i would even help
I admire your work. How do you acquire the land to build the community ? How did you tap into the water and sewer systems ? Was this a previous building site ? Thank you for your good work ! Bunny
600.000 homeless in U.S ???? 😱wow...
andri mulyana thatsalotoffuckinghouses
That's .17% of the population. Most of whom need mental or addiction care. Who closed down the mental hospitals and passed laws against taking mentally ill into protective custody? You can find out.
If you exclude over 65 and minors, the US has about 190 million people. So, more than 1 in 4 are homeless? Uh, huh. Okay. I exclude seniors and kids because they have FICA income if destitute. You're a moron. You don't think at all. You just believe and repeat fake stats, because you're a douche. You should be on America's Got Douche, because you'd win.
