Local homes to be built for those in need
A village of tiny houses is being planned in St. Louis to provide shelter for the homeless. This might be of interest to people in nearby St. Ann.
The village will be near the downtown area that was once the site of a recreational vehicle (RV) park. There will be 50 tiny homes to be funded by $600,000 from the CARES Act, which has been provided by the federal government. This money will be used to lease the land and build the homes. There will be 40 single houses, eight double houses, and two that will be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
There will be a desk, chair, and bed in each house, as well as heating and air conditioning. The village will provide showers and security. Case management and supervision will be available on site and will be contracted with a social services provider. Flyer printing is often used to offer more information about such houses and their amenities.
Mayor Lyda Krewson said that this an innovative and forward-thinking approach to housing that has been practiced in other cities across the country, but this is the first time this will be done in St. Louis. The community of tiny houses will increase the capacity of the city to help people and, Mayor Krewson adds, demonstrates the commitment of the city to provide a more stable housing environment for such people.
