HOPE VILLAGE in Medford, OR: a Transitional Tiny House Village for the Homeless

[@LindaQSunshine]

Wow, they’re not just giving them a place to live, but are also helping them with all of these programs, papers, rehab. Amen!

[@RespectfulRevolution]

Yes, a full-service step up! Thanks for watching..! -RR

[@prettypoodleposse2409]

This is truly amazing. I wish they had a program like that in every city. Many blessings

[@karenpombo8419]

California should start this for homeless. Bless all of you in Oregon who's made this idea possible..!

[@RespectfulRevolution]

Karen, that's precisely what CHAT (the Chico Housing Action Team) is trying to do! Check out the other videos on our channel and see how things are progressing...it's been quite the fight.

[@RVBadlands2015]

Respectful Revolution California is all about making money they don’t care about people. I hope C.H.A.T can make a break Thur in California.

[@L2design]

This is the best example to show your cities. Im sending this to san diegos people. I love the bigger sized homes. Love the cleanliness and chores. Love the kitchen and showers. Inspections are always needed. $600k is not that much for helping homeless in transition.

[@gracehoyle2061]

A small business started this village and that business is Rogue Retreat and im so proud because after this they made a shelter for homeless in the winter in a church but what makes me most proud, my mom thought of both.😀 luv you mom❤❤

[@petemavus2948]

This human thanks you and everyone who and everything that made this possible. 💜

Bless the people running the programme, and the community in it!!! Wonderful project!

[@randomvintagefilm273]

The man in the striped shirt is an incredible speaker. I can tell he has lots of experience. This is a very well thought out program "we don't want to warehouse people". That is great!

[@SarahWRah]

Fortunately these successful models are showing other communities what can be done. Approval decisions are made at the local, so each of us should do what we can to spread the word to our local public officials and stakeholders.

[@RespectfulRevolution]

Yes! The more successful models that exist, the less risky it feels for elected officials... Thanks so much for watching, and for your comments, Sarah! -RR

[@yelenakocheleva382]

Thank you for doing this for homeless people. Everyone need be happy. God bless you

[@Anna-tj7mp]

I love the people who start up and run these tiny home projects.

[@napoliansolo7865]

I agree and appreciate what these people are doing. Homelessness isn't the problem it's the symptom. The problem is the cost of living as risen so fast since the 70's and wages haven't. After WWII there were many housing developments that were built to support the war effort, workers coming in from the farms to work in factories, homes for GI families and these facilities were made available to low income people after the war. I know I lived in one as a kid in the sixties. The the housing market made the properties that were low income more valuable than the homes. Where I lived is now condos. Where did the homeless go? Out on the street "get a job!" people used to say. That's just not enough anymore. As a society it is our place to fix this problem.

[@davidwillhite421]

Love this non-profit! I will be volunteering to help build one in Grants Pass!

[@RespectfulRevolution]

David, that's awesome!

[@christinemendoza6703]

This is what Portland needs. It works well if you have security on the ground 24 hours that helps cut down on drug problems violence against each other etc. I think your model of tiny homes should be the same model everywhere. It's good they are learning things like gardening and hopefully they can eventually learn how to get them working in their communities. Earning a living instead of handouts from the government. Keep up the good work. Teach these people how to function in society. That's what these people need.

[@getreadynow647]

Thank you may God blesd and keep you

HOPE for the best. Love this idea to be in New Zealand

[@yowgyrl]

homelessness is not a character defect, it is a situation that the person is in. it can be temporary with more of these kinds of villages.

[@rosenia5409]

I’m so glad they came up with a solutions because I watched a lot of similar situations where the city councils were involved and major cities didn’t like the tiny homes idea for the homeless. It was horrible, tragic, and sad but I hope this idea spreads!!

[@RespectfulRevolution]

Yes, it's so sad but true. Ironically enough we (the producers of this video) live in a town where the very well-developed idea that exists for a tiny house village for the homeless just keeps hitting road block after road block, and now is languishing. It's unforgivable, really. I hope it changes! Thanks for watching and commenting Jenn! Happy New Year! -RR

I hope it goes global. I bet they take care of their place better than most because they’re grateful.

[@libertyann439]

We need more tiny homes not less. Not everyone has substance problems or mental lllness. Many are victims of gentrification and high rents.

[@mysilentprayersalways1913]

You hit that nail on the head.

[@petemavus2948]

​@@mysilentprayersalways1913 Greed, some would let sit empty for write offs rather than rent for discounted rates to help those struggling. I think those owners, developers should be fined every month an building, apt. or home sits vacant.

[@I-Told-U-So]

Every state should build BILLIONS to TRILLIONS of tiny houses like this. Then there will be no homeless people.

[@Aliciaek]

Gardening is good, also have some plants in front of the house (otherwise will look like concentration camp) more homey...some chair outside for a nice conversation.!!! perfect.

Next is to build affordable housing for those that are transitioning out. Rents in southern Oregon are insane and minimal wage is not enough.

[@lynbrown7359]

I wish there is a builder that would develop for people who would want small house , instead of building gigantic homes! And make it affordable like this this tiny homes.

[@rohtati1020]

If they ever do, how would they get all those expensive toys and extravagant vacation? ?? 😉😉😉

That's the sunniest Ive ever seen Medford.

[@matthewgoodman7588]

How do I get this started in my area? Who can I talk to for advice? This is an excellent solution to very low income housing.

[@RespectfulRevolution]

Matthew, you might begin by checking out Rogue Retreat's website...this is the nonprofit that created this village in Medford, OR. Good luck! Thanks for watching - RR

You guys should set up a store , with all those vegetables 🌽 let the food be free to the village

[@RespectfulRevolution]

hi Angela... The food grown in the garden is available to the residents for free, definitely.

[@shannoncane3774]

It's nice to help the homeless with house in and also will with creating jobs to get them to help themselves .. So they can pay their own bills act ... Food and their personal items ... A tiny home can cost up to $60.0000 not to mention the land where your going to pay for every month ....

[@mariacoratto5021]

ES MUY BUENA ESAS CASITAS !!!!¿¿ LO BUENO ES QUE TENGA UN BAÑITO LA COCINITA Y UNA CAMA QUE SE CONVIERTA EN UN ASIENTO , Y OBLIGAR A TENER MUY LIMPIA SUS CASITAS !!!!!! Dios LOS BENDIGA SIEMPRE A TODOS

[@nellyalvarez3088]

You guys are doing a wonderful job helping out the homeless. My brother just lost his wife and now he's homeless any availability for him there...???

[@44ronie]

Hoping to see some interviews with some homeless people....I'm trying to understand homelessness because I have a homeless loved one. I've done everything I can think of and the more I do the more resistances & hate I get in return.....Last I heard, he's in the Medford area

[@FindingPeace65]

What is that your doing? Offering a room in your home with rules and that's it..isn't the answer.

[@shannoncane3774]

Ver )... The majority of homeless people don't want to work ... They want to depend on others .. That's not cool ... You have to help ur self to get by ....

[@ummiramli6554]

It's been 10 months. Hope you got help in any way possible.

[@luckilarock7709]

I've heard that there's no power or heat inside the tiny homes is that true? I've also heard that the residents don't have a key to lock their own door. Is that true also?

[@RespectfulRevolution]

Hi there... Neither of those things are true at this village. Each room is wired for electricity and has a lock on the door. - RR

[@bluemoondiadochi]

wow, only 600.000 dollars for all this! impressive money management! btw. i also like the semi-detached houses, they are big for a tiny house and still more of them can fit on a given area than than with self-standing houses.

[@LindaQSunshine]

I wish I could help with these tiny houses by helping hands on. I’m going to find out how to give money. I don’t have a lot but every cent counts. I’m in Colorado and saw they have these in Denver. I wish they had that in my small city. There is a man hat I’ve seen for years, walking with all kinds of bags .

[@xradelox]

You want to hear something super disgusting? There are 555,000 homeless people in the US. There are 1,800,000 vacant homes!!! I’m sure many of those are trashed but could fairly quickly be repaired. Here’s an idea for the government: Choose the 555,000 vacant homes that are in the best shape and purchase those homes from the banks, hire unemployed construction workers to fix up the homes (so it helps with unemployment), bring in all the homeless people (each family to their own home), give them ONE YEAR of rent/utilities free (utilize solar panel technology to help with utility cost) so they can be helped to get on their feet and get jobs and save up money, then after a year, start charging them rent that is specific to that person and the job they found so that they can actually afford their rent, and have them rent-to-own. Once they’ve paid off what the government put into the house then they will no longer have rent. And they won’t be stuck with a mortgage that has interest. It’s a win win win win. It wouldn’t work for EVERY homeless person but it would work for most!

[@xradelox]

You could even use that as the next step after people use tiny homes like in this video as transitional housing.

[@tracymorgan5386]

Transition to where. Those people don't look like they are going to be able to pay normal rent prices anytime soon if ever. I don't understand why they can't be a tiny home community where people pay below average rent depending on their income and stay as long as they like. Educated people with great careers who are having a hard time paying their rent are living in tiny homes why can't these people stay where they are.

[@cg9616]

Many of these people lived on the streets on the margins of society - ignored. Here they have a chance to stop in a safe place and feel valued. You are Assuming that the homeless are uneducated and that’s totally untrue. Circumstances can cause someone to lose their job, home and family. Hope is essential and having an address gives access to a wealth of grants. Great job.

[@HomeFreeinmySUV]

I've been watching the development of these communities...but this one? It's great to see this..however, I have never seen such a lifeless, un-community project. Where are the people who live there? Why aren't they coming together in a Community House, where they can make connections with each other. Sad to see this...so 'lifeless'....

[@binkotsu]

how is it doing now?

[@mariacoratto5021]

Y que pasa cuando vienen los huracanes oh tornados 🌪 gracias

[@pamelahomeyer748]

What's worse the banks won't even loan money on houses that are only worth 50 or 60,000. They only make those loans to people who are going to flip the houses. Pretty soon no one will buy those either nor will the bank give those loans because they're not Mega houses. This is a complicated problem and it's been coming for over 20 years. I am female I had $40,000 in cash and wanted to buy a $50,000 home and I could not get a loan on the difference. You figure that out. I am not disabled but I was unemployed at the time. However I am a college graduate and I am capable of making $18 an hour. Also every new building projects should be required do you have 10% of its housing available for low income

[@missdeal07]

Seems a bit extravagant to have individual houses & duplexes. Why not build some dormitories. Money goes much further that way. More units. Also - I'd love to see collaborations & mergers between community groups, to reduce redundancy & free up money ... in order to assist max number of desperate people in the community. I've been there. God bless. 💕

[@melodytannerclark]

People with mental illness and chronic illness need privacy. Some are paranoid. The ability to lock their own door is central to healing.

[@OhJodi69]

these villages might not be zoned for multi-apartment buildings/dorms. The lots they are on might not be the legal size, etc. The tiny homes in this video are not extravagant, they're pretty much garden sheds.
