First-Ever Veteran’s Tiny House Community in Phoenix
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 май 2019
- In the heart of Phoenix, tiny houses are being built to create more affordable housing. And in late 2018, the first tiny house community for homeless veterans opened. Arizona non-profit, Build Us Hope built it with sustainable principles, long-term durability, and aesthetically pleasing design in mind.
V13 was built on a vacant lot within an existing neighborhood with mostly small older homes. Each of the three 288 sq. ft. micro homes included beautiful big porches, and are surrounded by edible landscaping. Veteran residents manage on-site community gardens. Also, the tiny homes are available for rent or purchase, well below the area’s market-rate housing-starting at $450/month. Build Us Hope helps connect residents to financing, as well as supportive services.
The groundbreaking of the next Veterans village is slated for August 2019. Coming to the same Phoenix neighborhood.

Can someone respond to my my question???? Above
Done 👍
I'm a Veteran as well and an Architectural Designer and would LOVE to volunteer with your organization!!! Please reach out to me when the need arises!!! wrsmith34@hotmail.com
Tiny House Expedition We need these tiny home villages for teachers as well!
I abhor the word SUSTAINABILITY..... Never heard it so much in my life in the last several YEARS.
*It comes from the EU that tells AMERICA what to do*
With all the toxicity in the news, it's a heartwarming reminder that there are decent loving people out there just getting on with sharing their love of humanity. ❤
💯agree
You are SO right !!! We rarely get to see or hear good news !!!! Good people usually do their acts of love and kindness behind the scenes ❤️
Too bad the US government doesn't seem to be described as sharing that sentiment,....current and past.
Hands up for yu aperson is recognizedby house warmth dignity. God bless yupeoplw cos,ahouse is yours yul have pride
@@faithlinah806 Thank you..(I think). I AM though an Atheist..proof that no god is needed to love humanity. 😉
I am a Vet and I think this is the coolest concept. I would live in one of these homes. They are beautiful.
I agree 100 % and most people now days cant afford a 100 k plus home . I wish more home builder would build 300 to 900 square feet homes for folks that earn less than 50 k a year .
@Michael I do not know where you are in the VA system or the country, but in Portland Or and Wa there is a program for Vets that gets you greatly reduced rent on certain apartment complexes! Now they are not the greatest Apts but what I would do is make use of that program and then save up to move to a better place. I think they even help with the down payment. So if you have not already check with Veteran services.
@Michael lmao you dont know how much I dont fit in here, but that's not the point. Check with or if you know someone have them check with Veteran services at the local VA there are a lot of services they don't make public or tell us about.
I want one....please.....!!!! Tq
Colette Mcwilliams No we want vets to go first. Not the drug cartel. We demand that the vets get-free a cabin, Free land , free , food 🥘, medical. Free electricity. Free everything. Not the drug cartel. And there families. God said BUILD IT Deuteronomy 28 : 42 to 45..trillions are spent on them. Trump says. Put our vets in a very big cabin. Put them first
This is awesome. They NEED more tiny house communities in Every state. This would help the VETS. SINGLE FAMILY, DISABLED, LOW INCOME.
jrbland18 They are starting to pop up all over the country! It’s a great concept...Not just for the Vets but also for the “regular” homeless. 🧐It is becoming such a big problem with the enormous rent increases and no affordable housing(buying or renting...) Especially in the bigger cities. It is really heartbreaking. God Bless the people taking these initiatives...🙏🏼🍀👍🏼
vets and disabled maybe
This is a wonderfull IDEA. GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND ALL THOSE OF US, THE DEMS HAVE FORGOTTEN. GOD IS MAKEING A WAY.TRUMP IS 20/20 AND BEYOND.
@K X He is the only President who is not accepting a paycheck. Works tirelessly - barely sleep. His net worth has gone way down since becoming President. He is not about money or power - he had those already - he is making a difference. This medium is way too narrow to expound on all aspects of governance and what makes for an effective leader.
@@McChrister Most homeless people are homeless because of drugs. They make work lots of temporary jobs but they still buy drugs. They will soon start renting out those tiny homes for drugs.They need is to focus on the Veterans. They have shelters for the homeless.
We need this every city for all people struggling.
I was telling my son a few months ago how much I would love to take over one of the old parking lots in his town and do this very thing for our Veterans.
seabliss22 it’s such a great way to be set up .. Tiny houses could be positioned on that parking lot and then use raise grow beds made of mulch, etc and have plumbing inside of them hiding the utilities needed to make these tiny houses function.. I supervise such jobs .. where you at 🤓
@@jlsoldwood Harford County Maryland. My son is the city councilman for Havre De Grace. That is where I'd like to place this project. We have a VA hospital just across the river. Some son works there in the finance department
Go for it! If I had the money, that's what I would do.
I hope you'll do it. I'm sure this org would be glad to share what they learned.
@@seabliss22 please mk it happen there's nothing to small or big u can't do especially when god sees ur very reasons why your doing it . we need more people to put the effort to do this for these people so since u have the resources give it try and let us know what was the outcome
The program is for a Veteran who SERVED our country and is Homeless. God Bless America, and God Save The Veterans from Homelessness. Keep America Keepin' On.
What a fantastic idea thank God for this project
What a glorious project! I applaud all those who have launched this much needed endeavour to help those most vulnerable. Such projects should be unveiled across the land. No person should live in his/her car or on the street--particularly in the richest country in the world.
So true!
Bless you folks!
Thank God someone is helping our wonderful veterans!
Being a Veteran myself, this made my eyes well up... Thank you for sharing this wonderful place with us! ☺️
🖤🦇
❤️❤️❤️our pleasure!
I pray our veterans soon get all they should have or want !! God bless each of you.
I'm not a Veteran but, I would definitely live in one of these little Homes.. at 64yrs old and not enough retirement money, would be perfect for someone with only SS monthly check.
I'm in the same boat as you, I was thinking the same thing.
You can live very well with a SS check, in Ecuador. Of course, inflation will destroy all our purchasing power soon enough. Then only the rich and well-placed will have more than the three basics.
Thank you to all Veterans!!!
I want a tiny house but on a big plot of land, 5 acres or more, preferably more!
We salute our veterans and those who've created such lovely homes for their comfort and affordability ... BRILLIANT!!!
I'm very happy for all of you! The one women just smiles so big. you can tell she is so appreciative. There needs to be more housing like this in the USA.
100% agree!
That woman's smile, made ME smile so big. :-)
In the USA and in the rest of the world too. Would love to see more of this in Canada
This is how you "Thank a Vet".
With real life action, not just empty words.
I am a veteran. I own 10 acres of land Western Kentucky. I wanted to do something like this only not charge, them anything. Just let them pay the electric, water and stuff. But when I went around try to get stores and other donation, you would think I was asking for a kidney, so I just forgot about it.
SMH that's ridiculous. IDK if you're still interested but here's a few thoughts about possible options:
- Reach out to organizations that help Veterans (sometimes it's who you know)
- Start a Facebook or Instagram account that's ALL & ONLY about this project & seek donations of materials
- even if it's only ONE house built so far in the project, shout it out to ANY & every platform available to get the word out
- Reach out to organizations that help low income or homeless communities
- Habitat for humanity may be of assistance
- Reach out to places of worship in the community
- after you get some traction & if you need more supplies THEN go back to the businesses that said no, show them the progress/participation from others/how the community is invested & offer something like a sponsor banner (advertising for their businesses) on the property where you'll agree to keep it for a period of time
- you may have to suggest it to a larger entity that's already seeking to do this But lack the property (be warned that THIS should be the LAST option bcuz once someone larger gets involved they'll want MORE control over the project BUT you should NEVER give them the rights or ownership of the land- ever. Give them an easement)
Hope this helps & good luck.
You should charge a small amount if just for the upkeep of the general landscape.
This idea is great! Please dont forget or give up if you would like to help others!
America by pop up William Blair My family owns a considerable amount (approx 100 acres) of undeveloped land in N Florida (in the middle of nowhere 😩) ...this is such a beautiful idea, but I would have no idea where to begin. I thought about it helping the elderly/veterans because of the remote location (small town, farm land) Hopefully,...God willing, one day it could be used to help people in this way.
Ok...im a vet, living in Australia at the moment, being treated for stomach cancer, and would love to live back in the states again. Id be more then happy to pay water and electricity and help you look after your property. All I need is a small comfortable place to live. Thanks for your service too. Cheers Dave
I salute you by having this wonderful and extremely helpful project. If only more countries would take advantage of this idea, so many people would live with dignity. I'm in Italy right now and see the need for so many people who just can't make it on their own. Great job.
@Kelli Andrews love watching living big in a tiny house! I'm sure the Italian giv doesn't allow living in containers in Italy. Let's hope in the future!
*SO MUCH LOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEE TO YOU GUYS*
Bless all of you.❤️
Thank you for helping our Veterans. ❤️
Beautiful both the structures and especially the concept... What a nice way to say thank you... Just a mention, the latest shipping container homes are also, quite amazing...
Neat and clean outside...no clutter...no objects ouside is the way to go...It looks so wholesome, clean, neat and well cared for.
This should have been done decades ago on a massive scale. Should have been fitted into the GI bill during Vietnam era
In 2009 I emailed about 25 key leaders/members of both the house and the senate. I pointed out that the French Foreign Legion gives a small chateau to retiring legionnaires on enough land to grow their own food, said homestead act could be revised for retiring vets and war zone vets...l the few that responded only gave stupid platitudes and a solid “no thanks” for the idea.... banks pay congressmen, banks don’t want affordable housing, they want big mortgages.
I could live out the rest of my days in something just a little larger, but this is perfect for homeless veterans coming off the streets. We have an apt bldg nearby that also takes in homeless vets, provides them a nice furnished apartment for up to 2 yrs. It allows them to get training or a job and find themselves a permanent place.
WOW, THESE HOMES ARE SO NICE, GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
These folks are hero to our heroes
This is amazing!!! We need this everywhere!
They need to do this all over America this will bring down homelessness and rusted communities... We need better looking nieborhood s for the poor & homeless 🙆👀🌄
This is for veterans not regular homeless people veterans who served our country and sacrificed everything
@@ilovemesomechickenbutimave7052 that does not matter who serve the country or not they still got homeless people out there that deserve a home that deserve to live in something that is affordable... And that'don't need much....
@@ilovemesomechickenbutimave7052 These homes are being built for regular homeless people too. EVERYONE deserves a home!
Jimmy Crickets Narrow minded racist
This is such a great solution to homelessness. Especially for working homeless veterans. Never giving up!
I believe every state should have these comunities. I wish we could have a comunity like this on my island for our veterans. They deserve so much more.
This trend is the best trend ever.... The little porches are amazing.
These are needed all over the country.
🌟 Thankyou kindly for your service 🌟.....
You guys did really good for our military thank you very very much
wow...amazing..good job helping our veterans
Thank you for helping our Veteran's ❣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤❤👏👏👏👏
I'm a vet and would live in one of these in a heart beat!
Excellent God Bless our Vets
god bless the people who put this together..
This is a phenomenal idea, thank you!
Some people would say, "WHY?" and to those folks I would simply reply "WHY NOT?" People these days want to obtain more space than they really need. It is about the space that people need and not what is wasteful. Great Job!!!
As the mother of a homeless veteran I can sincerely say this is pretty amazing. I wish this could be implemented/incorporated in all of our cities across the USA with investors. So many homeless veterans need this kind of support and help to start over. Thank you!
Black women are God's gift to this earth!
I am a Veterans Advocate
I want to bring this to Houston
Thank you for serving our country and don't let a Dis-ease set you back
It’s all most people need.
An idea for 55 and over. 💡
Yes, I could see myself living in one of these. I would need at least a two burner stove. But guess I could get an induction burner.
I don't see any "elites" or "environmentalists" living in these. Hypocrites
The first in the nation was build in Kansas City, Missouri several years ago.
@April Duckworth "They" are wrong.
In my town in the UK the council built emergency pre-fab houses (asbestos based ) after WW2 ---- with a 10 year lifespan.
The turned out FANTASTIC !!!!!!!!!! ----- some people refused to sell when time for demolition.
They were knocked down only 15 years ago ----- they were BRILLIANT.
After watching this video and learning of this program “Build Us Hope” for Veterans, this is an Amazing Organization, also a beautiful appreciative loving way to show and tell the Heroic Veterans, Thank you, Thank you for all you have done, Thank you for SERVING OUR COUNTRY, as you all are during, I Pray more of us reach out and help our Veterans, show our genuine sincerity, also the value and worth theses Veterans sacrifice for us, God Bless “Build Us Hope” Nonprofit Organization, that you never lack need or want for anything because what you do is Love Comfort and Honorable, you even put a smile on God’s Face.
WOOOOOOOO!!!!!! This is beautiful!!!! What a wonderful idea! Congratulations to you and everybody !!!!
the houses are nice, the prices are OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Thank you for taking care of those who served us without hesitation.
Wisdom, economy and brotherly love❣️ -MBE
Thank you all for your priceless service to God and country. We love you service men, women and families❣️
🕊God bless you all❣️😇🎉🎶💝
FANTASTIC,
The design is spectacular and it gives honorable hope to the people who lost it.
I'M GLAD , they're helping the Veterans, I just hope they would make something like this community for People On Low income for Seniors in SOUTH TEXAS. GOD BLESS ALL THESE PEOPLE.THEY'RE VERY NICE.
Nikki is so precious. She seems like a such a humble and grateful person. I wish you well
you two are really doing beautiful work for this movement. I applaud you...thanks!
☺️❤️❤️
Love what you're doing..monitor those prices once over $40k you're =to the problem in overpriced homes. Too many are jumping on tiny homes then gouging with prices because they can.
Jesus Christ heard my prayers!
YES! Finally! These are beautiful!
Most every homeless man, that I have talked to were Vietnam Veterans with the PTSDs...
San Francisco & Southern California are turning into shit Holes.
These make many amile.
This is fantastic.
I'd love to be able to start a movement like this community, in Auckland New Zealand...It just goes to show...There are people out there who care enough, to make thing's happen...Love this video
Thanks for showcasing this property concept!
Tiny houses are modern day flats more attuned to nature. 🙏✌🏼❤️
BRAVO!! Dear god what is the matter with us that we cannot do this en mass? I'm not fooling myself...it's not the entire answer...but it's a huge part!
So true!
What a wonderful and inspiring story hopefully it can spread across the country 👏👍
I absolutely love and appreciate the work that you are doing. Sustainable living and a simple lifestyle is the way to go!
This is amazing someone cares for the same people that put there lives on the line for us to have our freedom and when there job is done alot of them end up being MENTALLY CHALLENGED homeless and thrown out to the wolves when they should have shelter avail to them at all cost . pray this video will inspire other people in other states and countries to do the same and help the homeless also god bless
Just Beautiful, Thank You Tiny House Expedition for thinking about our Veterans. Please come to California to help
Our Veterans in need.
Good mitzvah. Well done.Gday from Australia.
Veterans and teachers are treated so poorly. Thank you for doing this.♥️
Lol teachers are treated pretty good I do not see or hear of teachers sleeping out in the streets like our poor veterans, no comparison at all !! Thesd teachers have unions fighting for there employment and rights !!The teachers here in my state walked out last year for 2 weeks they were given a 5 % raise, state paid healthcare, teachers here make decent money !! I think your confused Nurses are treated poorly they are usually taking care of 20 plus very sick patients , exposed to all of there diseases, with the newest influx of illegals here now they are stretched and being ran like rats !! Oh and as a nurse we pay our own insurance costs !! But back to the veterans they need these homes and thousands more for our vets !!
Teachers, you have to be kidding.
Look, people I'm merely stating the two groups
... To Me...
That aren't treated well. These two people groups take care of different aspects of our lives, the education of our children and the protection of our people.
Of course the veterans are neglected far more. I know that.
Teachers should not get paid pensions. Not like they’re coal miners!
I think these homes would be great for many elderly people who don't want to keep up with maintaining a large home and yard. They look very nice.
Thank you. You guys are amazing
Thanks guys I need to check out the new community this summer.
Happy to share! If you're interested in living tiny in AZ, stay tuned for big community and event announcements from Build Us Hope's partner, Tiny House Developers: arizonatinyhouse.com
This is a great idea for our vets. They differently deserve much more help from the government!!!!!
God Bless you wonderful Patriots.
God bless everyone involved.
So great!! Bravo!! We need more of these for vets!!! 💕💕💕💕💕👏👏
What a wonderful organization! Beautiful homes and it’s helping vets that shouldn’t have to be homeless in the first place due to them protesting their country, it’s very sad but this gives a lot of hope. 🙏🏽
There are massive builders out there that Could create entire communities like this!!!!
They would quickly turn into ghettos
God BlessThe Veteran's
I love that!! Thank you for helping them!!!! I would love the plans of those tiny homes it is also great for elderly!!!!!
Thank you for sharing. What a wonderful program!
Glad to see these homes.
This is a great idea and a very good cause . It’s truly about time
Bravo. Warms my heart. Well done.
i am at Borneo... this beautiful to help others that need this...keep it up
I saw another community like this. Those homes had better refrigerators instant water heaters and nice air conditioning. However, they had nothing identified as a social living space of even a small stuffed chair. These have a loveseat sofa and what appears to be a bedroom niche! I LOVE that. A WHOLE home!
This is great. I have been advocating something like this for years. Red tape has held me back from doing my own.
I would love a place like this. Just enough for a single person.
Making it a community and supportive services makes a bigggggggggg difference.
AWE, these houses are so nice. I'm so happy the vets are finally being taking care of so I Ty all for being so caring. I would love to have one, I'm looking into them now. I want simple. we really don't have many tiny houses in ct. I'm gonna start the fad. God bless all of you.❤
Thank You V13! And Thank You to ALL VETERANS for Your Service!!🇺🇸🇺🇸 2A Will Not Be Infringed Apon!🇺🇸
Very inspirational story and I can see this being built for the elderly as well. Xxx
What a wonderful thing! Oh my goodness. I love this. Our veterans should have a place to call home and to know we care.
*Hurrah for the good guys🍃❣🍃*
Absolutely beautiful and great for the veterans.
From a Veteran, thank you for helping my fellow brothers and sisters! God bless you!
We need more organizations like this
Volunteer! Everyone can do something to help ALL homeless people.
Volunteer! Make it happen for homeless people in America.
GOD BLESS & THANK YOU TO OUR U.S. VETERANS and YOUR COMPANY for your service,GREAT JOB!
Outstanding thats whats needed for my brothers & sisters in arms all over the country , sadly we serve get hurt physically & mentally & have to fight for everything we get from the Va , we all served with pride! Semper Fi
