One Nashville pastor has a plan to help those without permanent shelter: building 60-square-foot houses with no bathroom, kitchen, or electricity.
Tiny Homes as a Solution to Homelessness in Nashville - The Atlantic


Seems way smarter that giving financially strapped individuals a full size house.

    Indeed, the Vanderbilt study found that housing-choice vouchers, which allow families to live in market-rate apartments, are among the best solutions for homelessness.

      From the same article, in the same paragraph...

      But in many booming cities, including Nashville, where rents are rising and vouchers can be hard to come by, and there's little city money for anti-homelessness programming, short-term solutions such as Carr's may make sense. Regan, for instance, says he's been on the waitlist for a Section 8 voucher for months.

    You would have to sleep standing up & take a dump behind the dugout at the baseball field.

    $7k each. Pffft!

    I can knock you one of these up for less than 50 bucks. If you're homeless you just need somewhere to sleep, don't you?

    Custom made to fit and free garlic included.

    people do need basic amenities to stay and survive.. sleeping at a safe place is one of them.. perhaps more important than electricity..
