Thanks to a lot of advocacy work, there is now a legal path to build tiny homes here in Denver, Colorado. Many different organizations and individuals are showing interest in getting involved in this housing alternative. First up, the Urban Land Conservatory will be providing land access to the the first such village here in Denver. The community will be sponsored by Beloved Community Church, and the village will bear its name, The Beloved Community. Although the first run will only be 6 months, there is hope and expectation that there will be access to other parcels of land in many parts of the city. Expect these cute little bungalows to pop up all over the city, helping to ease the housing crisis we are experiencing here in Denver. Tiny Homes are not the only answer but are part of a broad-based solution of many types of housing needed especially for those experiencing poverty and homelessness. To get an idea of the excitement about this, both the RiNo neighborhood organization and the Cole neighborhood organization voted unanimously to send endorsement letters of the project to the city. The Mayor's office has been asking the city planning department to “make it so,” as they understand the need for something to happen quickly. This style of living is very community-based, and neighborhoods are looking forward to the opportunity to share in this kind of community-based housing plan. There are other projects on the horizon. Just look at these cute things!!!
