I think once you have been homeless like I was a 9yrs of age a little girl, with my mother you understand how wonderful it is that something like this has come about.That was back in 1963, but the park bench was cold and lonely....(Not in America), but nevertheless homeless and scared. I LOVE THIS PROJECT. No human being should ever be homeless!!!
this reminds me of when i was 7 and jimmy carter was president. we lived in a duplex that shared a porch with the unit next door. they had a little girl not yet 18 months old. they taught her that her diaper was a pocketbook and they would sneak up behind her and put wet leaves down the front of her diaper and tell her jimmy carter did it. she would scream STOP JIMMY CARTER and rip her diaper off then they would laugh hysterically. they did it until she was exhausted from screaming. then they taught her to cuss. they told her that as long as she danced jimmy carter would not come and get her. she danced on that front porch all the time. they told her if she would cuss jimmy carter from the porch he would not come and get her. she spent so much time holding onto the bars of the porch railing like she was in jail and cussing jimmy carter as loudly as she could. the neighbors all hated her. the year they told her jimmy carter not santa was bringing the presents she went to bed crying and saying she did not want anything. it got to where if you just said his name she would start screaming and run hide in the bushes. it was a long 4 years for her.
What a great idea. I hope they are doing this in the whole country.
I think it's a great idea and all States should do this it's a great way to help the homeless and help them get back on their feet! 😊
Yes, I think so to.
It is a good idea to find out WHY? It is a prison planet, humanity has been enslaved for EON due to the limitation of their own MIND. They are paying for their own slavery while EVERYTHING should have been FREE as SOME HUMAN are literally the SOURCE provider to fuel this twice inverted PATRIX.
While I agree, there are stipulations for living in said homes, such as one cant be on the sex offender registry. This makes absolutely no sense since everyone is an adult. And keeping said people homeless, only will make things worse.
It's like it's ok to slit a guys throat while in the process of robbing him over $5, but to go down for a sec crime? They deserve nothing..............
Kathy Brown, true but the wealthy people that own this country don’t want people getting on their feet. They’re too busy building $5 billion stadiums to distract the masses from how corrupt the government is.
@@wanjuchien4208 EON, PATRIX?? I don't understand.
God Bless Tiny Homes. I am so glad that Indiana is taking the steps that is needed to help the homeless. 👏
I suggest weekly drug and alcohol testing. Use sober house rules. If not this idea will go straight to hell in no time.
I bet you believe in hell to you weirdo if you go pray maybe though Implement drug and alcohol testing genius really people are so stupid lmfao maybe they should put guard towers and 15 ft electric fences patrolled by German Shepherds and armed guards
Working of Art? More like dumb as s*** derr I'm sofa king me Todd did
@@graymannboston7562 And you are dumber than "work of art".
This is wonderful , I know the people who get to move in are beyond happy. It would be so wonderful if we had these everywhere.
God bless the. From a old disabled veteran 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏⛪️⛪️
I think it's a good idea.. til a person get back on there feet.
Must be so lovely to have a door you can shut and feel secure for once I imagine. Its a discrace that America , one of the richest countries on the planet has homeless people in the first place. Its the same here in the UK. Veterans that risked their lives for their country , now kicked to the kurb. We all need to rethink how society works. A society should be judged on how well it looks after the most vulnerable people amongst it. Brilliant idea however, thats sure to save peoples lives by keeping people safe and out of the cold. Well done to everyone involved.
I can imagine it as a cute and safe little village. Hope they enjoy it! :)
Hahaaaaaahaaaa lmao FR, I wanna smoke what ur smoking
@Chris Wood Shush yo clown ašs up
Amazing idea! A lot of those homeless are veterans who deserve a better quality of life ! ❤
ASHLEY G I agree!! there’s NO reason anyone should be homeless but especially our veterans! This country wastes enough money that it could house all homeless people.
This is an excellent idea, even if it is not ideal living. But, you have to take baby steps when you have nothing.
I would love to see the interior finished....
I was homeless for 2 years in England the English government ain't got the brains to do this
Sometime we all just neee a break to get back in our feet.
This is positive
California get to work help good homeless that need a place and jobs tiny homes....take a page from them....
Love this idea.can yall fix up on the inside like actually home or apartment that would mean the world to them. GOD IF I WIN THE LOTTERY THIS IS WHAT I WILL DO FO THE HOMELESS
If you don't give now you won't give then.
@Strawberry Kiss , you only have to ask the churches about how cheap people are... ignoramus.
Me tooo :)
I would love to have a tiny house to live in. They’re cozy and quaint, just my style. Wondering why they didn’t think of this sooner. Great idea!
so wonderful some people are!
I wish these tiny homes were more prevalent.It seems such a wise idea to ease homelessness and give people hope and pride.
I applaud this but I always think how a tiny home this small is like a shed with better insulation. It's good they will have heat, etcetera.
Wow amazing I'm really happy for them now they have there own house
God bless the one who got the beautiful idea to help the poor
If they havo no income, how can they pay $60 for utilities?
Diane Blaylock they are required to get jobs. The purpose is to help them get in their feet, not allow them to remain homeless. These organizations assist them with Writing resumes and job hunting. They don’t allow them to stay unemployed. Otherwise your going to end up with a tiny slum. That’s why there will be around the clock staff monitoring the grounds. They want to make sure there are no drug transactions and other unorthodox behavior. Some of these people pick up poor habits living in the streets for so long & have mental illness issues. Hope they do this across the country.
Much better than a Shelter, We need more of this kinda thing YEA 😂
Yes these would be much better than a shelter because it not only provides a roof over one's head but it adds to one's self esteem, pride,mental health, etc.
Such an awesome idea. I pray it catches on nationwide.
Maria Hardy it should be nation wide
@@mxferro ,I agree about them being too expensive. They did them in Reno for @$1200 each ,without that porch and a little more Sq footage.
You can build for about $10 a square foot for a shell like these. Your price may vary based on location.
They are setting these on slabs which is totally unnecessary and adds several hundred dollars per house. 20 or 30 bucks worth of concrete blocks is all that's needed and adds to the portability.
I don't kno wat the cost per building is but to have a dry place insulated and dry as well as access for emergency personal and equipment that can get to every unit with hydrants and electrical, it is going to cost more then just a shell of a storage bldg,plus as for the slabs it's necessary to keep rodents and bugs to a min,with people living in them ,,I've watched several videos on homeless camps and tiny house neighborhoods and all of the above is mentioned on them in different ways in Oregon they have a similar set up and it's all on a old black top lot and with rain water running over it as well as rats an such it is all talked about in that video ,,I can't recall the name of the video or the actual twn,but it's on here youtube
Anyone that think this is a great idea is blind by stupidity why are you homeless 91% of homeless in Muncie Indiana from drugs or felons who scum Muncie up everyday they breath in the morning when they open there eyes, this town like many others is just wanting noone to get off there ass and work they all wanna get free income, ebt food, these people need drug tested once a month or checking to see if there selling 300$ of the 600$ to 700$ they get for all the two or three kids they have like this world needs to wake tf up because all humanity is lost In civilization and everything is handed out to people that don't put any effort into anything in life, besides there free pass to scamming these bullshit ideas over and over...
Awesome. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
The bath situation can be handled so happy they off the streets. And can lock there doors and sleep without fear.
Yes you shower at a gym..I recently saw a gym membership for $10 a month
Yeah, hopefully this is beneficial to these guys who will become generative enough and they can establish some ground and gain some confidence while producing income and eventually moveing out into bigger homes to let other people have a winning chance. God bless the foundation for caring and helping support fellow humans. If those homes work out I feel this could breed positivity in the community.
@@janal1206 What some homeless have a problem with is not having an ID or address. Without those you cant really get a gym membership
@@janal1206 usually homeless people will not have cars to get to gyms.and how embarrassing could it be to ride a bus feeling the discomfort of knowing your in need of the shower
@@WifeofaJer
There are some homeless people probably has an ID that haven't expired yet because there are some people that had a place to stay. That person's ID probably haven't expired yet. So they could be staying with different people here and there & have a regular car that's already paid for so they probably just struggle to have gas probably get a few dollars here and there because at gas stations I have seen cars with a bunch of stuff in there that people put in a few dollars of gas in the cars
They should make it to where they have solar panels to help on the electric bill
Nope! Solar power costs way too much. Popular ill informed belief. The hardware to obtain solar power will generate X amount of power over its lifetime. That cost has to be fully paid for upfront, in advance.
Better than nothing🙏👏
Better than sleeping outside period. Theres nothing like waking up to rain, when your getting rained on.
PS: if they want it solved they can solve it. programs like this should be in all cities.
People have thought of this for 20 years but states trash it and block it.
of course greedy mayors governors want the money for illeglas
It needs blocked it is a trash idea just execute all the scum from Muncie prolly 92% of it
It's a hand up, not a hand out.
A few years here to clean up, find a job and rebuild your life is all most people need.
The natural progression of people is upwards, it takes actively applied circumstances for people give up and accept a life on the streets if they are of sound mind.
Villages for ex con's is also needed but segregated by levels of offenses and appropriately distanced from vulnerable area's.
Kudo's to Muncie and the group that got this started. This is not a fresh idea. Unfortunately City Governments and States block initiatives for this kind of development. Kudo's Muncie Kudo's!
Bodean Digs ...
Excellent video..
How sad that politicians unable to solve this...hope this org...shame them showing it can be done...
Julia D. Check out your local government. Muncie has signed up for agenda 21/ICLEI, which is to take away private property, stick people in the cities, and the rest be off-limits. Lots of depopulation involved. Just look it up. I suggest don’t use Google.
Because if everyone lived decent, many MANY services would cease to exist! etc. it’s a plot
Terrific Tiny's have been suggested this for years! It's about time, congratulations on this positive first step to house the homeless. Now get these people to help build the next batch, and keep paying it forward!!!!😁😀💗
These are cute and a wonderful idea. So, these homeless people will have to have a job or income of some kind to live here. A lot of places wont hire u if your homeless and no address no benefits either. hum????
Right,what a nasty circle.
They get food stamps homeless All,they need contact address,for other things
my ,that's awsome having your own home ,not many in this world are so lucky you should visit India, slums in Mumbai Delhi,Chennai and see for yourself how the homeless and poor live
There are people living in cages in Hong Kong.
Welp it's 2019 and I am just now hearing about this so I guess it did take the world by storm. Idk I'm going to look it up.
Same here. I live around Muncie and have never heard or seen these.
@@melissawestlake7656 It's off of Liberty and 7th Street. Literally on Bridge's Community Center property. There is a huge privacy fence that surrounds the homes so you couldn't see them just driving by
Since the mall lost Sears and Carson's they could build apartments in the empty spaces before the whole thing gets shut down.
Amazing!!
More like a shed
Where kind I get one this inexpensive? I looked at Tiny houses before and the cheapest one was $45,000 which is outrageous!
You HAVE to build it for it to be that inexpensive.
Chick we BEEN thinking and talking about it sooner, but the government doesn't WANT this to happen. Duh.
Hope it all works out, with people sharing bathrooms, and kitchen is going to generate a mess...
Bless this idea ...bless these ppl and thank you lord for the hands and creators of this project .🙏
It's about time!! Not all homeless people are druggies, or felons. I'm so happy for the people that this will help. I hope this spreads to other states as well..
No but some maybe become that if they are desperate long enough.
For sleep only,,no toilet ?
Yuses Kid ..... GO back and watch @ 1:20 the bathrooms and showers will be set up in a separate building just like at a campground and the kitchen where they can cook their meals.
Those are not houses! It's a storage shed! 😵 They don't have a bathroom either. I believe they receive over eight thousand dollars in donations for one tiny house! Wow they could do much better.
Kathy Newell Agreed. These shells can be built for $1200. Much cheaper if you by material in bulk cheaper still if you buy seconds or imperfect lumber. I'm guessing they cost about 5-600$ mass produced
Time Warp 2280 Exactly! And looks like they aren't even insulted. That's also ridiculous that they would have to pay fifty dollars a month for utilities. I guess it works in a pinch though.
Well yk the person or somethings involved to try to get what they really want besides being human and helping each other out, they def are getting tons of profit they were seeking in the very beginning of the tiny lightbulb that turned on in there head.. Cuz of course money rules and destroys everything..
Someone had huge heart to do this wow
This made me cry for the 1st time for something I did just like this 🤔 I never gave it a thought till now how I changed people lives 😢
I think it’s a great idea and other states should go along with it
I definitely think this is a great idea to give people the opportunity to begin the first step of getting back on their feet! People need a hand up! I definitely see people succeeding! This gives people pride, possibility of new job, and so much more! Your giving these people their dignity back! Thumbs up on this! :)
I FEEL SO SORRY FOR HOMELESS PEOPLE BUT ESPECIALLY FOR HOMELESS VETS!!
At least make it a home not a room with nothing. Come on.....this is no home.... God bless them to do better.(no bathroom). My opinion
They are made more complete, you just saw the delivery and the shell. Shared bathroom and kitchen.
Anita Hall -- I think you have to remember what these people have, mainly basics if that. One can do a lot, with brain power and your own imagination. The thrift stores have so many things with very small price tags.If these people have a little home they can attempt to make into ‘their own’ they will be happy, Human beings are pretty resourceful with a little help!
this is beautiful. I'm so happy rn
What a great cause everyone that contributes to society deserves a roof over there head we all human beings and deserve the same.✌
exactly my thoughts. homelessness level is rising in my country and i cant believe it is a thing. no matter how much life goes wrong, every living being deserves a roof. a place that you could feel safe.
fantastic idea!!!! does anybody know how it's done so far??
Nanna Skare ~ i’m curious as well! Hope for a follow up!!
wow...
how do I donate
Just .. help them out by .. helping.. with.. plumbing .. and WATER...
applying in october why wait ? gee whiz put in a few porta potties and a kitchenett and start moving them in allready .
This is such a great idea I'd feel a lot better at night knowing my tax dollars are going to this instead of welfare to somebody living in a nicer apartment than me
Alex Hacke
I’m commenting in 2013 these would be so appreciated with the high number of people living rough, in cars etc, no rentals it’s heartbreaking 😢
They should do this in every state, but they would rather build $100,000 townhouses in low income neighborhoods instead. Shit don't make sense. You can always tell when the higher ups were poor at one point in their life.
very good ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺
New Song "All I am saying is give people a chance "
Catering to the "desirable" homeless.
The cost is great! for these little shelters,,, we could do this on a larger scale for all the working poor who can't get an apartment due to SKY HIGH rent costs..
they will never allow it
Such a great idea I hope this catches on!!
A beautiful way to handle this situation and more importantly how to assist in getting people into affordable housing. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
What is this "affordable housing" you speak of?
@@Klng5hlt What a rascal you are!!!
Really big tiny house. So cool. Amazing. Hope the state help with this ❤️
Wow, I see a nice home.
Yeah, SIX sheds with no bathrooms or kitchen facilities will totally solve homelessness.
May God bless you all for doing this for my people🙏 I love u muah💋
Ending poverty and creating opportunity is humanity’s only hope for reducing crime in a significant way. Poverty and crime go hand in hand, and this includes drug use. Desperation can make a person do many things they never would have normally done otherwise, if provisions were met. Just remember, poverty is not a personal problem, it’s societal.
Cosy ,;snug cute little bug out homes. ..wish i could have enough money to do that for the homeless here in UK.😢
I am planning to do this in my community. Could you tell me which organisation I can contact to find out more about the tiny homes? Website would be great! Thank you.
Awesome! We have way too many multi millionaires in the world for anyone to be homeless and hungry. The Lord says in his word: "But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day."
He wants us to not just use it for ourselves but for others. No person on the planet should be homeless and hungry and especially innocent children and Vets who fought for our country to be safe.
This would be an ideal solution for Seattle. Last I heard the Mayor wanted to spend $45 on 1960's style Tennament buildings. Remember the kind in Chicago, five years after they were built they were covered in Graffiti with all the drug dealers etc. moved in. After about 10 years they all needed to be bulldozed.
figures thats what happens when you let government get in on it , pay out the ging gong is wrong to do to someone that is in need people really need to stop trying to act nice and be nice for real , not to judge but my opinion .
Look what our country has come too...there are plenty of houses to live in...but greed has gripped many...but they will lose in the end..we all will have to answer for what we did in this life weather you believe or not...you will...
I think it great I can't amazing sleeping rough in the winter freezing cold 😨 when you can have a home food and.a bed to sleep in people' grumble about petty things but the way I look at it there's people out there who are a lot worse off so I think myself lucky I got home comfort s
Unfortunately, it is not addressing the real problem. Actually, it only encourages homeless people to remain homeless. I wouldn't be surprised if homeless people rejected such housing. The state of Rhode Island has addressed the real problem of homelessness. That problem is to get the homeless the real help they need. They need help overcoming their drug addiction and their mental illness.
This is how to do it. Lots of people can not make rent, and then what are you going to do? Even renters would like in on this deal, because you could save some money. There should be housing developments like this, on the edge of town somewhere, maybe further out, where land could be bought cheaper, by someone not so interested in making himself rich. They could own what they build and people could hire out their help or help for free, building according to some set of reasonable standards.
They didnt plan the lot very well. Could have packed a lot more of those if the concrete pads were layed out right, give each a small amount of outdoor space like a diagonal parking lot, back to back, and make a main walkway in between
Tiny homes should be the norm in this day and age . People should practice birth control ,curb consumption , live with less. There are many people working that can barely afford to put a roof over their heads . There needs to be a change in thinking and not keeping up with the Joneses .
Good idea ... but they aren’t allowing ALL the homeless to have a home which is unfair tbh !
Good idea
The only problem is that you're just concentrating the poor in slum districts. You need regulations like what Massachusetts has where developers are required to have a certain percentage of the development as affordable housing indistinguishable from the outside from the other homes in the development and distributed throughout the development rather than concentrated.
That's such a kind thing to do for the less fortunate in society. But for the Grace of God, anyone of us could be in their shoes.🙂🇬🇧
Unfortunately Muncie is rancid. And you would have to move these outside of town in order for people to get away from drugs and illegal activity for them to get on their feet.
dear God you wish the filthy rich bastards would help i would if i was rich rich i certainly would for sure God Bless the homeless xox
It’s great to live there because you can save lots of money instead of paying a big house.
Actually if you look simple like that why would you want to go back to paying rent anyway or gained a big house that's my problem with people they want to go back to the same problems they had before that put them to where they are out today that don't make sense to me at all I live out of my van and I'm happy with that I don't want to go back to writing ever again...
Yes help those people
this was a sham! i live by this area there is no tiny homes
This is an awesome way to help a problem. Its a hand up and not a hand out. For others that have the means and choose to live in a tiny home, there are so many obstacles to parking a tiny home with resistance from governing bodies that it is just ridiculous.
If all them churches in every community helped one homeless person each we would only have a few homeless ! but they don't I wonder why ! when every Sunday they want money to help people as they say !
These should be in place in every city that has empty lots from delapedated houses not in use,
This would be a great idea for the homeless in California.
Heru- deshet Fuck no!
I have family members who work with the homeless and this idea should be passed on to every state and city.
Totally awesome, everybody deserves shelter.
Good for Muncie. Is there electricity in these homes?
