Tulalip Tribes to open tiny home village with 17 shelters

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

TULALIP — Before the pandemic, over 100 out of roughly 5,000 Tulalip Tribal members reported housing instability.

Then, the tribes drew up plans for permanent supportive housing, a community called the Village of Hope. This fall, 17 tiny homes are set to open on Mission Hill Road, next to the tribes’ main shelter space.

The one- and two-bedroom tiny homes are equipped with kitchens and bathrooms. Residents will have access to shared laundry, computers and a large kitchen in the community building.

The majority of residents will be referred to the village through child welfare services, wellness court and behavioral health treatment programs.

1. I admire the "tiny home" concept...

but why does such a community have to look so drab and plain and unimaginative???

Why can't the design incorporate beauty inherent in the culture and surroundings???

Functional is fine... Does it have to look so unhealthily institutional???

My thought is this great idea can be done better...
