- Architecture students at Tulane University designed, created and built a permanent home for a man who hasn't had one for nearly two decades. The students worked on the project for 10 months as part of their final assignment for the UrbanBuild program at Tulane.

If this doesn't bring a tear to your eyes, you're not human .
So I guess I'm not human.
When he said I wanna die in his home, I lost it. 😢😢😢😢
@@Stephanie-vn6ir More like a subhuman.
Definitely, thank you, Students 😊 🙏🏾
I hope a business stepped up with appliances and a bed.
THIS is what the world needs more of: people serious about improving the lives of others.
As a former homeless person, I thank those who did this for him. I hope he enjoys it for a long time. Blessings to him and those who did this and their families and his too. Such sweet kindness. ❤
This is such a great idea. He gentleman gets a home and the architecture students get to see how construction really works. ❤
I hope they never forget how great it feels helping others, and asking for nothing in return.
💯
Ok
I pray this is a pack of professionals that will start a global operation
Instead of praying why not do something that actually helps and donate your time or money.
exactly, I wish I can do this for my sister, who is single/still working/struggling & can't keep up with the rising costs of living!
@@emiliaescobar7652whaaaaaaaaaa😢
I love this but it’s sad it took two decades for a few students to help; instead of community leaders and business owners in the area.
Others may have helped finance this or other projects.
@@audraarndt1824 yet the community let it knowingly happen for 2 decades what’s your excuse now hub
Habitat for Humanity and government agencies have all dome many things in that community.
@@Happybidr it's never enough
@@Happybidr Habitat for Humanity is a great organization
Should be a reality for all,a safe space
There's absolutely no reason anyone should be living on the street. Especially the elderly, veterans and disabled.
@@jp13119Tell that to state and federal leadership.
Community service is a required part of a Tulane education. This a great example of the lengths a school curriculum requirement can go. Roll Wave!
This made me cry. I was there as a volunteer not long after hurricane Katrina. Thanks for helping him!
Such a beautiful story. No one should be homeless.
Great job Tulane students remember YOU changed someone's LIFE for the GOOD awesome job
THIS is the kind of news story we need to see‼️ 💯 God bless these young people! 🙏
That home is beautiful! The passion of the students, is wonderful! So glad to see someone so happy to get a home he deserves! ❤
I’m balling!!!
This man is walking with JOY as a posture. Bless everyone involved ❤️🙏🏽
This is what the architecture department should be teaching these young students. By the students using their skills helps them to reenforce what they have learned.
How wonderful!! Now I hope he gets some furniture and appliances for his new home also. He will not have to fear the many dangers of living on the streets again.
what a great story. All schools should have a program where students are doing something for another less fortunate individual. This experience for the students will be with them forever. Affordable housing should be a must for everyone. Mr. Henry - welcome home.
Brought tears to my eyes. So happy for him! These young people have learned lessons that will last a lifetime. Good job guys! Beautiful home.
Such a cool screened porch. Will beat the heat. So happy this gentleman has a beautiful home to live in. Thank you young architects at Tulane University!!
Your country is proud of you all... Keep up the good work!!!
😇🙏🏽
This should become a tv show! They can build a company devoted to this and spread goodness showing it on a tv show.
Mr Beast just built a community...
There are like, millions of homeless people out there right now that are DESPERATE for a tiny house, and this should be an example why we need to find in our hearts to help them get back on their feet and off the streets!
Use money that our gov wants to give to the Ukraine and house our homeless families and vets....
God bless this young male and female
We need more people like you.
Can we leave your imaginary sky daddy out of this?
Just be one yourself... easy peasy...
@@marcwells03 Someday all knees will bow...
@@jenscheibner792 so your genocidal sky daddy will have his vengeance?
Wow!! This is why I love America. This demonstration of love is awesome.
If we all did something to give back, what a wonderful country we would have... I ran our church food pantry for
16 and serve meals to the homeless for 18 years...
They should be incredibly proud. I can’t imagine the struggle of being homeless 2 decades. Hope always survives.
im sitting here at home watching this myself, as a person in my senior years, and never had a home of my own, but this gives me hope that, god still has a few good people out there, im crying, because this has brought tears to my eyes , my god bless those college students for what they did. their heavenly reward awaits them. GOOD STORY.
Thank you engineers! For caring and sharing!
Beautiful story. Can we normalize college projects to always leave tangible results like this? Students are already doing a lot of work. Would love to see projects tackling Superfund sites and restoring denuded land.
you mean colleges focus on issues that real and practical that’s fanatical !
Everything about this story is what is beautiful about being a person and doing/touching/coming from LOVE.
All of you who built this home. Thank you.
Just thrilled that the Tulane students were able to provide this wonderful tiny home for a homeless person. My only concern is who’s going to help him get furniture, pay for the electricity and water, and surely there will be some taxes involved too. Wish we knew more.
This is news we can all use...💙☮️🙏
Beautiful!! Why isn’t this on MSM all over the world?!! I know there are stories like this from all over and why can’t we share the stories to remind us that we are more good than not!! ❤
MSM is pushing the world is a terrible place with terrible people...
It is shameful that anyone in the US is homeless.
Right. Wealthy nation with homeless ppl
🥹 Congratulations Mr. Henry, I pray you have nothing but peace and happiness in your new home. ♥️
God Bless the students whose sweat and energy built this home and thank you. ✨️♥️
Let’s just thank the students and leave your imaginary sky daddy out of it please
@@marcwells03people should not force god on people AND people shouldn’t denigrate people who believe in god either.
@@RevLeigh55 even if their God character is abhorrent? Do religious ideas get a free pass no matter how terrible they are?
@@RevLeigh55 do sky daddy believers push their evil ideology on others all the time? Why do you apologize for religion?
Loved this piece so much. Here on the west coast we have THOW's (tiny house on wheels) groups who live in modern THOW's who are now building THOW's for homeless veterans.🙂 And yes, they are affordable and yes, they help build community.🙂
Truly wonderful to hear...
Awesome job young people 💙💙 God bless you all in all of your future endeavors.
Can we leave your imaginary friend out of this?
I love this but i wish they'd given more info? Like how is he going to afford his property tax, electricity, water, upkeep, etc?
He is old enough for a SS check and maybe now that he is established he can get a job. I'm sure this
man knows how to make money and has worked hard to survive these past 20 years... He'll be fine...
In Louisiana, property tax is incredibly low and seniors can apply for exemptions and such.
What a wonderful story. Thank you to these people. We always see the bad reports about young people...we need more of this!
Congrats to Mr. Benjamin Henry! May he love and cherish his forever home. I hope he had some huge help in furnishing it too. I also like that it’s in the 9th ward. So fantastic for these students. I hope that whenever they get their dream jobs, that for every 10th job they complete (at least), they do something like this to give back to the community. They’ve already started down that road with this great project. Thanks, Tulane University. You are doing something great right.
Saying hello from Chicago Illinois ❤Much success and Happiness 🙏
Hopefully they get to make finishing touches specifically for him...
Love the idea,,,now how does the gentleman pay for utilities/taxes and home maintenance?
Beautiful Home.
Beautiful People.
Keep the Hope 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💪🏼♥️!
Well done Students, Well done.
This is real service! Help those who cannot help themselves, Love Thy Neighbor!
My town in northern California created a tiny home village with state funds and got almost every single homeless person housed. It works. Our country can solve this problem state by state and tiny homes and abandoned motel renovations are key to this. California is by no means perfect and has shameful problems accounting for the funds it allocates for homelessness but it is doing at least SOMETHING and that something is working in many counties. Now we need to tackle LA and San Francisco.
Beautiful! Architects of hope, love. solidarity, humanity...
Now let’s see if he can keep it. There’s a lot of work and expense and responsibility involved in owing even a “free” house.
You're blessed, Mr Henry. Pay it forward when you can
Keep building them
This should be done everyday in our country. Hand up, give hope. Love shall follow.
How amazing great job 👏🏽
WONDERFUL! God bless and nurture ALLLLLL OF YOU! 🙏👌😍🥰🤗💪
Much love and admiration from SOUTH AFRICA. 🌞🌍🦓
Please leave your sky daddy out of this
I cried so hard! I think this sweet man has some new friends, too! SO happy for him! The young people here are beautiful inside, and out.
Awesome young people. Humanity is so random. On one hand, you have a group of doers, creating things for others. On the other hand, you have a person who could be a doer (get a job and make money) but can't. I find this fascinating.
You don’t know what his situation was about why he didn’t work. It is hard for homeless to get a job with no address.
That is rude of you to judge him.
There is a lot more to this story, they had to get the plumbing, electrical, heat, permits, and then he will need things like towels, blankets, dishes etc! This would make a great movie! Love to everyone involved here!
They didn't do all this to leave him hanging...
Very very cool. More of this, please, for those who had a rough start and zero intervention.
Giving is more blessed than recieving❤
This should be spread to inspired many
I love stories like these 😁 I wish they would have done a tour of the entire house.
That is a great story!!! Cheers to David enjoy your forever home 🏡
We need more of this. Yes tears in my eyes. Love this story. Thank you. I needed this.
Fabulous project! And it would be nice to see apartment buildings built for the homeless. It would help more people at one time & may help prevent the loneliness they sometimes feel when living alone. I know the money is out there.
Well, we can go to the Ukraine and see if they'll give some $$$$ back?? LOL Biden just increased
the USA's homeless population by millions with the open border...
Thank you God for blessing this man in a way that also blesses so many hearts, including mine. 💯❤️
May God bless everyone who contributed to this project!
The most wonderful news I've heard in 3.5 years. God Bless them all..
Beautiful, heartwarming story!
Love this!!
05:43 it looks like those kids want to hug him. What awesome kids. Bravo.
This is so awesome if we were all to come together like that we can build so many homes for homeless and they will recover because they would feel loved🙏🏻🙏🏻
A porch is something to say hi as neighbors pass by. Wonderful story. ❤❤❤❤❤
Beautifully done
I don't usually watch CNN, however, what a story!!!!! What a wonderful way for these students to learn that we are meant to help each other. In this life, there is no greater gift to give ourselves. To each of those students: DO something good with your life!!! You are our hope!!!! Thank you for showing our greater angels!!!
CBS Mornings, CNN would never do a story about hope and love... I don't watch any MSM as a rule.
God bless those students and very happy for the Man.
Thank you students.
Beautiful
Great job by those young people. Hats off to them all
Wonderful gift! I volunteered in the lower ninth ward after Hurricane Katrina.
Thank you...
Bravo, young people! I see the light in yous.
BRAVO to these young adults. 👏👏👏 My father was a Tulane alum. You youngbloods give me hope for the future of our nation.
The World 🌎 Needs SO much more of this Right Now......ACTS OF KINDNESS 💕🙏✨.
If Loving Kindness was Celebrated and a Way of Life, our World would be a Different Place Healed and Whole. 🙏🎁💜🕊️🕊️🕊️🌍🌈
@@deborahzahler913 Amen to that 😥

This is beautiful
Those sliding porch screens are a great feature.
Ohhhh my goodness, this one was perfect! God Bless these awesome angels that have done this with luv, may his life in his new home be blessing....❤
I hope this project spreads!!! Fantastic.
Crying my eyes out … beautiful ❤
God Bless these Students! Thank you!
Why not just thank the students and leave your fairytale sky daddy out of it. ?
I’m not crying. You’re crying! ❤️
Awesome!!!!
We need more of this!!
Good job 👍.
I NEED ONE, TOO.
Beautiful. 😢
This is amazing!
God bless them all! I truly wish we could keep this going and continually have it funded by donations.
God bless those precious precious students. ❤
That was so very kind of these kids. The Governor of our states need to learn from these people.
OH MR. HENRY WELCOME HOME!! GOD IS GOOD!!! LOVE AND BLESSINGS TO YOU!!!❤❤🙏🙏🙏
“Hallelujah! 🙌🏼”
Why can’t every city in all states do this.
A + for these creative, kind, and wonderful students. ❤❤❤❤
God bless all of these beautiful people. ❤❤❤
