I think a lot of the money is in the counseling salaries, food, etc. Many years ago there were mental institutions but they all got closed down. These people definitely need more than just physical care. Many people and families are being priced out of a normal lifestyle. My husband, when he was 27, got $2.25 an hour (which was minimum wage at the time) as a gardener at a church. But his share of the rent was $62. So in 27 hours of work (our of 160 hours a month), he was able to have an apartment. (His roommate also paid $62.) Now the rents are so high, it is hard for some people to live. We are blessed now to own our home 100% in our middle 70s.

Toss in the electrical service panel, air conditioner, IKEA Beds, shelf table, bedding, lighting, windows, etc. and labor costs, I wouldn't be surprised of each shed comes in at about $40K each. Times 56 tiny homes, was it? 2.2 Million. That doesn't even account for the shower, toilets, laundry, and on-site counseling services. Tack on another $100K for those and the salaries of, say, 5 counselors on-site. Conservative estimates say 2.7 million over a year. Divided by 56 residents comes to around $48,200 each.

1. Education and the economy are broken. People are intentionally forced to learn trivia instead of how to be healthy and stable and resilient. The economy is designed to extract value from the losers rather than to facilitate organic, distributed creation and exchange. 2. Some people who end up homeless may never be "productive" -- but even so, who will pay to develop creative ways for people to become more productive? I agree this isn't a complete solution, but there are structural problems where we don't support people's development (some who may become homeless), and the government will spend to send people to space but how much to explore how to develop dignity and productivity in people? Create a problem...and then offer a partial, overpriced solution...and we're supposed to applaud.

This won't go well. Each tiny home should have a honey do list certain days to do laundry police the area of trash, everyday clean inside. Good rules make good habits , no rules make bad habits

[@mlss1229]

I just hope it's safe for the folks who visit the river park next door

The American dream. Ain't this the greatest nation on earth😃

[@truthhurts...6574]

This is really nice. I hope this does well and spreads to helos other homelessness individuals across the U.S.

[@gloriaterry333]

We are definitely needing more so make them at a cheaper price.❤

[@vdsilva6806]

She is right. Look at the nightmare videos from other cities showing their result on the tiny home concept because they didn’t have a support system set up. Too bad we can’t do what Norway did. Unfortunately that would leave the representation of those getting rich from homeless programs powerless.

[@johnnygavin3654]

They should appreciate it. They can go to work and get on their feet financially. Hopefully the doors lock as the homeless have a habit of stealing.

[@WorldOfWonder66]

This needs to be happening all over our country

[@max420thc]

It needs to happen in your backyard

[@safeandeffectivelol]

Yeah cramming us into coffin sized homes while they import 100 million new immigrants and tell us there's not enough space.

[@joseannsanders3662]

@@max420thc do you rather it happen in your front yard or on the streets. Wow at least Americans are being help as well as the communities. They are not criminals. They are people who possible fell on hard luck. It could be you or your children have a heart. At least they are not laying on the side walk or parks where children play. ❗

[@hhc1948]

Really? Most homeless people are drug addicts who brought it upon themselves. Why should my tax dollars go to support their addiction.

[@judclark7376]

Can't wait to hear about this in a few months

[@annabrown7302]

HELP AMERICANS HOMELESS NOT ILLEGALS THIS IS A WONDERFUL ❤

[@juliarodz2832]

Thats good help the poor and homeless people. Just like me help with finding a affordable living place that also can have a family together. Thanks all

[@loladolly9576]

Thank you Mayor! God bless you.

Now all they have left to do is fence it all off with razor wire and call it a day, I guess.

REI in the city of Austin gives tents, backpacks, boots, sleeping bags, food,etc. - much nicer than I can afford! They have converted an old post office into a place where people can receive mail, so they’re not indigent- and register for an ID, and receive a paycheck when they get a job. They have showers, a communal area with a tv, and pol tables. There’s a big industrial kitchen, and we used to cook Thanksgiving dinner for people. There are still a high rate of homeless in Austin sleeping by the river. They come there because it’s on I-35, and they travel up and down it from winter to summer. It’s not perfect, but it’s a solution.

I hope these news guys keep fighting on air. THAT is the KUSI way.

[@donovandelaney3171]

I say we should set up money-free villages of Futuro homes, Ecocapsules and EV Skoolies.

[@stevefritz5182]

I'm glad for the little discussion at then end of the video. There are a lot of realities this solution does not address. It is a "next step" for some.

[@claudenewton8932]

I wonder what the cost per unit was, most likely sky high.

[@TwilightZone96761]

They will need more storage space. I am currently living in a thing like that. A place to put clothes A place for food. BUT. Something is better than nothing!

[@lightningdriver81]

It will be trashed instantly, alas, and those who try to keep it clean and orderly will be harassed and hounded from doing their jobs.

[@anitaandrews2385]

God bless you all!!! Bravo! Bravo!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 May God move by His Spirit and deliver each and every residence in Jesus mighty name.Amen!🙌🏽

This looks like a damn cult camp

[@Spooge-ei4xq]

Lmao they’ll give it to the aliens

[@lilianarice3527]

I love it. It is a dream coming true for me
