These days, every person loves tiny houses.
Every person hates that there are so many homeless people in our country that have served to defend in the military.
According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, there were nearly 40,000 American veterans in record who does not have a home.
After two years of planning, a group of local homeless veterans in Kansas City, Missouri will have a place to call home.
The Veterans Community Project has spent the past two years, planning and constructing 13 tiny homes on 89th and Troost.
A group gathered together to build tiny veteran homes for veterans who are in need. They already built 13 of these veteran homes.
Four of these are for families and the rest are for single veterans. Each of the tiny homes has everything that they need to live independently.
The building consists of four family units and nine single units that have all the necessities.
In addition to having a roof over their heads, the veterans will have access to classes that will teach them how to budget money, cook, stay healthy and overcome substance abuse.
Members of The Veterans Community Project believe that if these houses hadn’t been built than many of the veterans would end up in jail or remain living on the street.
They plan on continuing the progress by adding 19 more homes during phase two of the project.
There are also future plans for building a community center for the residents.
During an emotional ribbon-cutting ceremony, The Veterans Community Project received City Council’s final blessing and turned the power on in the newly designed homes.
“One of the vets was sitting out there last week, watching the houses get built and was in tears,” Mark Solomon previously told. “Literally just crying about the fact that he was going to be moving into one of these houses. That’s real.
That’s what makes this all worth it and yeah, it’s a ton of time and a ton of effort, but we’re going to be able to help these people.”
A simple act like providing information about a health care professional is already a huge help for homeless vets and those who badly need medical help.
With this tiny home project, one major problem is scratched off from their list of worries. One small complete home budget is about $15, 000.
This is all covered by donations! With the help of others who have the heart to donate for this project, more and more vets can be helped.
The combination of a place to live and tools to live a better life such as the one that the Veterans Community Project has provided is a win-win for everyone involved.
