In March last year, California Gov. Gavin Newsom promised 1,200 tiny homes to temporarily house homeless people, specifically those who already live in encampments, in four major regions across the Golden State.
The idea for the homes extends far beyond just a place to rest your head, though. Under the governor’s plan, the homes are meant to create a tiny-home community—with kitchens, dining and living rooms, common areas, and cabins for counseling—to help people experiencing homelessness find stability.
