SEATTLE - Miami-Dade County officials are thinking about the possibility of using "tiny homes" as a short-term solution to house its homeless population who will be banned from camping in public places as of October 1.

The law signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, prohibits cities and counties from allowing people to sleep in public places and allows local governments to create homeless camps if shelters reach capacity.
