Mark Horvath Interviews Carmen Guidi from Second Wind Cottages Tiny Homes Community

Carmen Guidi has an incredibly huge heart As he showed me around Second Wind Cottages, and told the stories of the men who will soon call the place home, it became clear that Carmen is one of the most humble and caring men I have ever met.
Carmen donated the land and started building small cottages in rural Upstate NY after one of his homeless friends committed suicide. Later in the day, Carmen took me on a short tour of the tent community where is friend and several others died • The Jungle (homeless t... After experiencing first hand how broken homeless services system is, Carmen just decided to take action and now 18 people will have a small cottage to call home.
I really love this model of creating small communities for our homeless friends. My friend Alan Graham, a personal hero of mine, likes to call his "Community First". www.buzzfeed.co.... Homeless people have created tiny house communities, and maybe my favorite is Dignity Village in Portland invisiblepeople... and someone posted on Facebook a link to tiny house community for normal people boneyardstudios...
With lack of affordable housing increasing and homelessness increasing, I think tiny house communities are brilliant. If you'd like to learn more about Carmen's Second Wind Cottages click here: secondwindcotta...

About Invisible People:
Since its launch in November 2008, Invisible People has leveraged the power of video and the massive reach of social media to share the compelling, gritty, and unfiltered stories of homeless people from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. The vlog (video blog) gets up close and personal with veterans, mothers, children, layoff victims and others who have been forced onto the streets by a variety of circumstances. Each week, they’re on InvisiblePeople.tv, and high traffic sites such as KZbin, Twitter and Facebook, proving to a global audience that while they may often be ignored, they are far from invisible.
Invisible People goes beyond the rhetoric, statistics, political debates, and limitations of social services to examine poverty in America via a medium that audiences of all ages can understand, and can’t ignore. The vlog puts into context one of our nation’s most troubling and prevalent issues through personal stories captured by the lens of Mark Horvath - its founder - and brings into focus the pain, hardship and hopelessness that millions face each day. One story at a time, videos posted on InvisiblePeople.tv shatter the stereotypes of America’s homeless, force shifts in perception and deliver a call to action that is being answered by national brands, nonprofit organizations and everyday citizens now committed to opening their eyes and their hearts to those too often forgotten.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the way we think about people experiencing homelessness.

It's impossible to find modest housing. In order to retire I had to give up my spacious 4 berm suburban home but there were no 2 bedrm homes except in bad neighborhoods or I could go the condo route. I opted for a small 2 bdrm mobile home in a senior park. I never thought I'd be happy in a place like that but I love it. Developers need incentives from local government to build new but small affordable houses. Middle class persons obviously don't suffer like the homeless but the endless pursuit of luxury is not useful in the final analysis and places hardships on us too.

Forgive me for explaining this in this manner but I know no other way..you know how animals can exhibit human behavior as such h as heroism complex emotions and such, well humans have a way to go from human to God like. And I say this because he sees the people as his Flock and that takes more heart than then next 50 normal good men combined. lives for this so does Mark H who has created Invisible people. I and my girlfriend have grown very fond of him and his people. I can say #ISeeInvisiblePeople And am moved by third compassion. People like these gentleman have reignited something in me🙏

[@FloorEncer]

www.habitat.org/housing-help/apply If they can't help you, they could give you some leads. Tiny houses are getting more popular. People are living in modified shipping containers.
