Employing the homeless to insure their independent growth and self sustainability at early stages we will utilize the homeless population to build the tiny home village and by doing this it will instantly make them taxpayers and start one of the many things that they need to do to become self-sufficient and rejoin as a contributing member of society . It will also teach them skills and it will build a sense of accomplishment and appreciation for the place and they will hopefully not want it trashy and will take better care of it then if is just given to them and we will be working with other employers to provide a continuing source of employment this project and assistance is not a treatment or a clean and sober program it is a meet you at whatever spot you are in and start with building good habits and goals and hopefully get the fire of life going again the only requirement is that you participate in some aspect of improvement of your life and situation through work = skill training or school and health services
