The Guelph Tiny Homes Coalition unveiled a prototype of the homes they plan to build to help give people experiencing homelessness that stability they need to get back on their feet.
The home was on display in Guelph on Wednesday. It is 120 square feet, it can accommodate a couple, has R21 insulation, a steel door and two windows to provide a cross-breeze in the summer. Remley Homes will be building the homes.
The Coalition has established partnerships with groups like the Royal City Mission, Guelph Community Health Centre, and Stonehenge Therapeutic Community to provide services to the residents of the tiny homes. They are also getting support from the Guelph Chamber of Commerce.
The Coalition is still searching for a site but might soon have one. Marcolongo says city staff are presenting a report on a possible location to Guelph city council later this month.
