"A tiny-home community rises in Detroit" makes sense.

Unless it's a home community of unusually small size. But this, apparently, is a community of tiny homes. It's good to let the punctuation let the reader know that the adjective modifies not "home community" with "community" as the head of the phrase but "home."
