New Mexico Tiny Home Village Finds Success After Removing Barriers for Homeless
-
A New Mexico tiny home village with $30/month rent sat mostly vacant for a year despite housing crisis.
-
The village cost $4.9 million to build but had strict sobriety requirements that deterred residents.
-
After removing barriers like sobriety rules and fees, the village is now nearly at full capacity.
-
One resident went from homeless and living in her car to feeling "safe" in a tiny home.
-
The village made changes after 2 years to quickly provide housing to those in need in the county.
