This Group Of People Took Matters In Their Own Hands And Are Building Tiny Homes For Homeless Veterans

There is a group of people in the country who seem to get pushed by the wayside. Now, a community is trying to help homeless veterans who are only asking for shelter.

The project started in Kansas City. There are now at least 500 other cities that have made it a point to take care of homeless veterans, showing them the respect that they deserve after they have sacrificed their lives for the country. Some of the cities that have started building homes include St. Louis and Nashville.

Those who are involved with the Veterans Community Project are donating their time and many of the materials that are needed to build the homes. They want to make sure veterans know that communities care.

Tiny homes are built in areas in the cities that are participating so that veterans have the housing they need while they recover from injuries, mental issues that they might have because of being on active duty, and while they live out the rest of their lives in peace.

Each tiny home has the same overall design structure. They are different colors so that the veterans have a sense of having their own home instead of living in a community where each house looks exactly the same. Heat and air are included in the homes.

Most of the houses built have one bedroom, a living room, kitchen, and bathroom. They are large enough for at least one person, possibly two depending on the family of the veteran.

Many of the homes have flags on the front porch and a sign that shows that the person living there is a veteran. The homes are connected to city electric and sewer services so that the occupants don't have to worry about the little details of being in a house.

The homes aren't owned by the veterans, but the occupants can stay as long as they need to so that they can get back on their feet.
