It comes a time that we must think outside the box and really understand the viewpoint from the individual. It has become a custom to place individuals whom are homeless in shelters and then maybe into transitional homes, which are basically "group homes". These are not apartments where people have their own space, which we all deserve. Individuals who have been homeless are resilient and are very adaptable, but we want to build people who are independent and thriving in the community, not feeling as if they are burdens. Mental health and addiction services come after a home has been secured, then other needs can be met. We need to build a community and this initiative to build tiny homes for veterans is a great idea. This needs to be expanded and utilized for not only those people, but all who can't afford the high rent costs and needs affordable housing.
