- This video is long overdue! Today I am covering Low Income Tiny Home Communities in the United States. I found so many communities doing some amazing work. Not only do I cover communities for the unhoused but also many communities are out there for folks with low income.

WHAT GREAT IDEAS FOR ALL OUR COMMUNITIES.
Love the mentoring program in Utah. My bad decision was getting a Master's from a private university...I have been paying back since 2005. I burned out on the field (psychotherapy and case management). I'm now working as a lifestyle coordinator at a senior community. I love it but the pay doesn't approach the cost of living in Reno. I'm pretty self-sufficient but as I age, working 45+ hours weekly is tiring me out. I'd love to get into a tiny home ADU or community situation in Western Washington. Maybe I could scale back work hours and explore a lifestyle coaching practice.
Great video. Love the direction tiny home living is taking!
I'm so happy to see that so many more communities are being built for the unhoused and low income! I'm hoping this will continue to grow and that more states will change their home type building restrictions. Thank you for everything you guys are doing!
I totally agree! Thank you for watching:)
@FarOutTinyHomes: Shout from Texas! Joanne, I'm responding to 15:46 - 15:50 of this video! 😮 HELP!! I need to 😮 MOVE! I am tired of putting up with crummy Landlords, and Tenants..... will tell you more @ a later time. I just got off the Streets, (1 year) ago and I had been Homeless sense (2011). I need to 😮 MOVE!! Joanne, I would not be wanting to move if it wasn't for damn good reasons. Please, understand that minor could be overlooked in Apartment settings. But, very serious things can't be overlooked. Joanne, could you assist me finding somewhere else to live with my Section 8 Housing Voucher. I don't know if any Tiny Home Communities would accept my 🥘 Section 8 Housing Voucher. I live in Texas, but; I don't mind moving outside of the state. Thank, you! - Keyneisha
Of course, leave it to the Utahns to come up with such a unique concept. They definitely have the resources to make it happen and the open minds for such change that is needed and emergent. Unlike Nevada that just keeps blocking every attempt to help this situation .... Their problem solver involved citations and a bull dozer. I am one of those extreme low income individuals and I myself am teetering on the edge of having a home and not having one and it's definitely scary and unsettling especially when your a disabled individual like myself and rely on that money each month to survive and just one hiccup could lead you to the streets like I am also experiencing with social security continually interrupting my monthly benefits... It's sad and frustrating all I want is a home, for my long term dream/goal would be to be a tiny home owner, whether I assisted in building that home or working in lieu of actual money, of course as well as paper money that I could come up with. That would be ideal and amazing!!!! I definitely would love to volunteer my time or pay it forward.
This is a fabulous idea! I love the Utah concept. This is a great springboard for individuals and families.
Thank you for covering these revolutionary low income housing developments!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and for the positivity
I love hearing about the tiny home communities for low-income disabled Americans.. I would love to hear about more tiny home communities being built
Thank you for reviewing these... I really want to continue learning and discovering what everybody is attempting across the USA and Canada... And even overseas... As we all need to work toward ensuring that there are housing options that meet every person's needs... So that housing can be as barrier free as possible. I would LOVE TO SEE some city or cities...or a state.. Or states... Take on the incredibox from Incredible Tiny Homes... As a permanent solution per person.. Where the home would remain in the possession of the city or state.. But assigned to an individual for life... Permanently housed... And an option of different communities that a resident could be toured through as their needs change... But heir home transitions with them like a tortoise shell... Even if everybody in need got an 8x16 or an 8x20 incredibox... As their permanent residence.. I feel that stability might help create the beginning of change for so many people facing homelessness....
Arizona and California
You got it!
You are doing good young lady.
Very nice and fabulous ideas thank you
Love it it should be introduce in ever state.
Love what you are doing!! Thank you!! Tiny Home Communities are close to my heart. I am interested in information concerning building such a community in Laurel, MS. I started a non-profit organization when I was living in Florida, hoping to bring together other entities already working in the area of homelessness for the building of a self-sustaining village community. I started with local, city and state governments (even drove to Washington, DC and had many meetings), but was unsuccessful. Thank you!!
Just found your channel. Very concerned about the unhoused in our nation. All of us need to work together for solutions. I appreciate the work you've done in providing a list of cities and communities in the US that legally support tiny homes. I think they are the solution. There is a company in TN who is building 8x16 homes on trailers with complete off grid pkg for $30K. Imagine communities with vacant lots and no infrastructure using these homes for the unhoused. Maybe non-profits could help people to own these and as they transition out of the program to take their homes with them or move them to a low income permanent spot. Or maybe even purchase at $20K the version that can be plugged in to one of those spots immediately. I don't know, I'm sure there's a lot of red tape and more to consider which is why the problem has grown instead of lessened. Larger than my brain, but continually thinking of how to connect people in power to people with resources to provide a solution.
Yes Randy Jones, in Newport, Tenn.. met him and Amanda... they are doing a great job... I'm on the fence, want to buy one of his builds and check out the community...
This is awesome. I live in Nevada. I am 2 months new to this State and would love to create a tiny home community program. What do I need to create this wonderful idea? Thank you for this video
Love this
Love this I'm going to contact fresh start to begin doing this in my neighborhood.
Great info thank you
Yes yes yes and yes I am local Las Vegas
Please do a report on Southern California.
I love how you are getting the word out. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Marina! Yes, I absolutely have Southern California on my list. Thank you for watching :)
@@FarOutTinyHomes where is it? I don't see Calif anywhere on your list..
Very informative and helpful video. Going tiny is taking off! I wonder how living so large ever got started in the first place. My guess is that builders figured give people big homes, and they will come. But along with that comes high mortgages, high interest rates, the high cost of maintenance, and the stress of keeping the home from foreclosures. But with tiny home living all that goes away😊. Indeed, what a relief that to live in communities where everyone is like minded and feeling that relief also must be very nice. And because they can now afford to really enjoy life, I would think a lot more are taking the vacations they wish they could have taken if it weren't for the upkeep of the large footprint they used to have. Who knows what all our communities are going to look like in the future👏.
Does Fresh Start Ventures use prison labor as an exploit with nearly no pay, or do they pay the prisoners for their work?
Great info
Great ❤
Any chance you could check out Coast Village in Florence, Oregon?
This is so needed in vegas! I would love to be apart of a tiny home community.
We agree, Dominique! What would be your preferred approach? Co-Op style, rent to own (non-predatory), or ADU backyard mentorship?
I agree too!
...and your NV psychopaths that own the casinos and brothels there could CERTAINLY pay for this in taxes, but they're so morally bankrupt, entitled, empathy-deficient, and ruthlessly greed-driven that they won't.
The money those casinos and brothels rake in....insane profits they make.
Great video!
AWESOME content for affordable truly low cost housing thanks for the information please keep me informed of any in sw ga or how I could possibly build a small community
Great Information! What about tiny housing in New Jersey. Is there anything happening in the northern parts?
Thank you so much for your content. Can you do one for Texas? I am currently staying with a friend due to a snowball of misfortune & would be unhoused otherwise. While I am grateful & have a job, it pays extremely low making it very difficult.
Would Love to see in Washington State!!! Port Orchard .... Gig Harbor Area And Up north.
Hi Pamela,
I will add to my list. Thank you for watching:)
A list of states who allow tiny home villages should be list please 🙏
You can find the link to the blog were there is a list of all the tiny home communities in the video description
Awesome information
Thank you so much for watching.
YES
I'd like to see something like this in Delaware, Virginia or southern Pennsylvania
...
Do they have any in Lansing Michigan not Detroit if you could help me out that would be fine thank you very much
Nice video.
Is any of this coming to the state of California?If so Northern California/S.F.Bay Area?
You did great! Oregon is trying, aren't they?
Can you do a video on how to get legal land in the Puget Sound area of WA. Haven't been able to escape the rent cycle here in Seattle area. I have lived here my whole life, but priced out. Plus, I have a disability, but I'm not on disability my ex supports me so if I can find land I think I can create a tiny home like u guys did with some help of course. Thank you for your videos and positive attitude on hard housing topics here in the U.S.
The Utah Fresh Start program sounds interesting. I’m guessing there must be some strict restrictions or requirements of the home owner. I could see people being motivated to do this in order to get a free tiny house for Airbnb purposes. Wouldn’t it be better to build the tiny homes with the goal being that the unhoused people benefit long term from the newly built tiny house. I would think creating tiny home communities would be a better way to use funds unless the mentors are partially paying for the tiny house they get to keep in their back yard.
Jilan, do you have a video on tiny home insurance?
Maryland and DC
I am in need of a home really bad. I love tiny homes. I am working, but don't get paid enough to rent an apartment or even buy a home. I live in NY.
Everything goes so quick
With such a large platform it's important not to perpetuate the stereotype that everyone who is "unhoused" has made a "bad decision" and needs to recover from their mistakes. You are doing a huge disserve by ignoring the fact that homelessness can be caused by illness, the death of a family member, natural disasters, intimate partner abuse, unemployment, the high cost of housing, and any number of challenges that a person may not have directly caused.
I don't discuss the reasoning behind someone's housing situation. I am here to give information, not make judgment's.
So, it won’t take off in Vegas. But I’m so with you though. Raised here. I’m a Realtor and have ideas along those lines.
I am a 73 year old widow on a fixed income. I have been blessed to have a $600 rent on a 500 sq ft loft. That situation may not continue depending on the property owners’ family circumstances. I would be looking for permanent tiny house living. I reside in Florida and would love to know if there are any communities such as the co-op here. Thank you for your passion for this!
Hi Linda. First thank you so much for watching. Your viewership is very important. Second, I REALLY appreciate you sharing your story. I will make a note to research Florida and see what I can find. Hang tight!
@@FarOutTinyHomes thank you!
Still hanging.
You are in a VERY serious situation there in FL, like I've never seen it in my 50+ years on this planet. Costs for housing have never skyrocketed to as high as they are right now, and with your politicians bringing in massive Tech companies and giving them tax incentives to be there, it has driven the rent in FL to all-time highs as we experience here in California (also due to massive Tech companies driving rents for 1 bedroom well above $2K/month, usually closer to $3K/month.
Now, take that issue and combine it with the massive loss of housing that hurricane Ian caused....? It is beyond unaffordable. The difference being that our minimum wage is $17+/hour and in FL it's something like $11/hour.
Please do take care of yourself and keep looking and connect with people by asking others to ask their friends and families for you.
A lot of people don't want to become "landlords" because of the problems renters bring to that. However, if they know someone is stable and knows someone they know well, and they can vouch that you're not throwing wild parties (lol) and playing your music and television too loudly (seniors often do this due to hearing trouble), they may be open to renting to you in their backyard.
Good luck, nanalinda! Wishing the best for you!
Awesome what's the waiting list like. I need one. I'd love do that
3:53
Yes, I want to know about new Mexico too! Thanks for the work you are doing!
Any programs in Alabama or Louisiana
Is new mexico doing any tiny home communities? Interested. Great channel! Good work!!
I’ll look into it! Thank you so much for the positivity
One problem with a tiny home, I'm finding all over the country. It's all start-up cheap rent and then go up to close to $3000 and bankrupt the people. They lose their home and everything, and they have to get out. And this is happening in california. So we're staying away because there's nobody guaranteeing that you're gonna be paying $350 for the rest of your life. If your seniors and search of security 350 to $400 a month that is bet high, you go higher. You're in serious trouble. So there's no guarantee with any of the tiny home that you will be safe there of the high rent cost and utility you'll be paying.
Major difference though, If rent gets too high the tiny house can be hitched up and moved to another place. People living in a trailer park long term whose rents skyrocket usually cannot move their homes due to their age. Most parks require the homes to be 5 years old or less. So they lose the home they own and are left with nothing.
paying over $400 in lot rent is a bit too much, the purpose of going Tiny is to live more affordable, ITH is the Best Community ever
Miss your videos :-)
Any areas that offer purchase of property for my tiny home? I thank you in advance for your response.
Sorry , many of us do not watch videos if it has any background music at all so goodbye , hand down
Do you know of any communities in North Carolina?
Some of these ideas are very costly! Perhaps not for the people in them, but certainly for the community at large. Especially that last project seems to throw money away, like it is nothing! I bet a lot of tax dollars go there. That could have been a lot more affordable and still nice.
Do you know of any tiny home communities in Washington State?
Are you sitting on an excersize ball? The bouncing!
ok so what do you have in New Jersey im a single woman on disability an live in a tent i own absolutely nothing cannot afford 2 live anywhere ANYONE WILLING TO HELP???
Not all communities for poor people. This is amazing for those who qualify. Often many of those can’t pass the background. But are good people. Sadly their background prevents them from getting help. They’re for people who also want to reduce their footprint and have realized having all that space and paying for everything about those spaces and not using so much of it nor needing it…smart people to me.
Hi，This is Tina from Hebei Weizhengheng modular house technology Co., Ltd.China
Are there any communities that are either already built or will be built in the future that are bigger than 400 sq ft here in USA? ( I prefer something around 650+ sq ft) as for a small home. I currently reside here in Vegas. I have been here since October of 2021 beginning in Henderson then having moved out from my sister's Home (residing in a Casita) which I did not care for; Personality conflict with her husband. I am now in an Apt and will be moving to another location due to 1) Overall Costs 2) Tenant conflicts (I basically can't do much without someone complaining about who and what I am as a solo female who has been working UBER EATS and recently signed up to be a Lyft Driver. I enjoy cycling/camping but the tenants who often GOSSIP about me; They basically go nowhere and do next to nothing. This is what I have been running from for years; I took of my father for about three years and he too gradually did not allow me to do much too. I was basically his prisoner. The same thing as had resided in my sister's Casita; her husband is somewhat of a Controlling person. I could not do much either without him complaining. All what I do as for leisure activity to enjoy life a little is also very cost effective....versus the wealthy OMG! They cost everyone a lot because of their excessive insatiable need of their type of entertainment or personal fancies! I would really rather invest in a small home that I can afford rather than wasting all my hard earned money into renting :( Any advice?
650 sq ft is not a tiny nor even modular .you want a mobile home park
i live in newhampshire is their places here low income
Pennsylvania please:) thank you
this is specifically to help the homeless populations. You never mention that!
Ý tưởng hay, cùng đồng hành nhé bạn
Or sometimes you loose your home to the landlord selling the home you live in. Or loose your job and can't pay your rent it doesn't have to be due to alcohol or drug addiction
How is a tiny home community better than a multistory apartment building? A taller building could have more units in a smaller space. That’d be more units for the price of the land. It could be closer to jobs and schools and such. Maybe the tiny homes would be cheaper to build. If the land is expensive the apartment building is probably a better use of the land. So tiny home communities will probably be further from jobs requiring more cars and driving which also cost the residents.
I was thinking they’re trying to get away from the “projects” concept. Projects within cities are often prone to drug and gang activity, and other crimes. Lots of places to slip away, hide, hide from security or police, etc. Having your own space is way better than that and easier to provide security, if needed. Maybe they provide a shuttle bus that gets people to jobs or public transportation hubs.
Apt. Buildings cost tons to build. Add in elevators, fire suppression, etc.
Tiny homes done properly won't cost a lot and would be homier. Tiny home village would be like a little neighborhood with opportunities to garden in your own little yard/patio. Creates a sense of community.
@@tennesseeterri I can see how tiny homes would be cheaper to build than an apartment per unit. Though they’d have to be on larger and cheaper land to match the units in a taller apartment. That’s usually further from jobs and public transit so tiny homes could help house people though it wouldn’t make it easier for them to work.
And here comes the 15 minute city,s. NO THANKS I am not taking the carrot.

Sure sounds good program. What if you are disabled by illness. I do have accountant degree . So I can contribute my skills. I am in a home with severe mold. Landlord won't make repairs and I habe a no fault eviction need to be out in month. No were to go. On disability from the big c. Need more no info . Please help me obtain a worker to help me obtain all requirements to start in low income programs. Thank you
My husband stage 3 cancer and heart disease trucker who hauled all that stuff lawyers are sueing over then they never said wear a mask this may be dangerous no do here we are they cutting his check messed his med insurance guid o almost nothing couldn't afford to rent home deposite and such before now said he'll get 645 a month social Security where's that he said into where's out safety net security it's gone over there over sea sure not where it should be
California and Texas
You got it, Relencia!
@@FarOutTinyHomes do you know if there are any low income tiny homes available to rent in Texas?
Why does a tiny home have to be associated with low income.. The only ppl who think they need a mansion with 20 bathroom as the ones who need that that validation to prove they are rich.... Rich has a different meaning to different people. I love tiny home as it's looks nice and cosy.
o cara passar o video todo olhando pra cara dessa mulher...falando uma "ruma de besteira"....é dose !
PROBLEM ??? THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THE HOMES PERIOD TRY NO DEPOSIT AND START PAYING RENT AND HOME OWNERSHIP 7 YEARS THATS A RIP OFF ?????
?? You want feedback but only positive? I'll honor your request but it is unfortunate because you're actually off to a good start that could become great if you ever decide you're ready to hear constructive criticism, i.e., things I did not like or think that you could improve. Thanks for the info about low income tiny houses. My curiosity is piqued.
There's enough negativity out there no one needs anymore
Woa woa there missy Some homeless people didn't make a mo's ake some are just victims to economy inflation and politics my husband drove s mi 45 yrs he gets social security money take from his wages went to his retirement he earned it he started age 15 his dad had lung cancer he couldn't drive in last load so he maned up drove e that load in and many days after he helped keep food on table for his siblings and family We as Americans have sacrificed😮 suffered blood sweat and tears but we earned our retirement disability we didn't cut n run to another country to get checks put in hand for just showing up or get free college or free business with no customer or healthy food prep no we struggle and sacrifice for these things just to watch our government tell us their running out of funds for SSI disability well here's a thought instead of handing out dwendeling assets over to illegals that never earned one red cent in America never fought for america never cared for america half don't even like us hate us they just see an easy opportunity to get out of their struggle without sacrifice without suffering to find job keep it and have pride cause we earned it.where does the forgotten homeless here in America the retired seniors who worked all their lives thought they was taken care for their golden yrs just to realize it's not there for them they die sick homeless and alone watching our own cuddle ones who wouldn't give a #$#@ for us if we ran to them for help look I don't mean to be hateful I'm just sayingu got to take care of you before u can help others cause if your not here who takes care for the rest we are old and the forgotten but all our efforts went to make things better for our younger generation not for illegals who hate us disloyal to our flag and what it stands for all they can see in us is easy way out your pushing out the ones that paved the way for those that turn in a day don't say we made mistake look to the law makers who see us obselete we have been Sold Out the forgotten has beens but if not for them would you ever been???
Stop bouncing when you talk. other wise great!
Good content. More visuals and less talking heads please.
Thanks!

Great video, tthe bouncing is very distracting.
Sorry about that

are you sitting on a bouncy ball?
No indoor tours. How do you inspire people to go there? Thumbs down for that reason.
You keep bouncing up and down. Are you sitting on a ball?
Sorry! Yes, dumb move 🤦♀️🤣 I’ll make sure not to do that again
Why are you bouncing up and down. Very distracting
"Make a couple bad decisions"...like the govt not controlling rents or protecting worker rights or setting a LIVING WAGE? THOSE KIND OF "BAD DECISIONS". This woman is a bigot & doesn't even know it. & notice how she doesn't mention probably all these places are full & you probably can't even get on the waitlist because that's full too & if you have no income, you still on the street. Pure ignorance.
💯
You're doing great, just please stop Bouncing? I liked and Subbed! #400 liked:)
