Proposed Tiny Home Community Site Plan

This community is not a shelter- it is a stepping-stone to independence.

​

Each resident will have her own private living space within a supportive, structured environment that promotes healing, growth, and accountability.

In addition to housing, residents will receive:
• Life-skills training (financial literacy, employment readiness, daily living skills).
• Mentorship and case management
• Faith-based encouragement and emotional support.
• Access to community resources and workforce opportunities.

 

 Our goal is to create a peaceful, dignified environment where young women can rest, rebuild, and rise.
