      Community Buy-in Will Help Tiny Homes Succeed, says Brantford Resident

      Community Buy-in Will Help Tiny Homes Succeed, says Brantford Resident

      Brantford resident Lisa Moore says tiny homes could be part of a viable solution to the housing crisis in the city, but it will take buy-in from the community and there will need to be regulations in place to make it work.

      “In my dreams, I hope that everyone who (has) the space would volunteer to have a tiny home built to help someone else,” Lisa says.

      In order to encourage interest from homeowners, Lisa says people willing to offer property to build tiny homes in the city could be offered breaks on taxes or utility costs.

      Two Tiny-Home Prototypes Get Green Light

      Two Tiny-Home Prototypes Get Green Light

      City staff have indicated they see no reason not to give a green light to plans for the construction of two tiny-home prototypes — a one-bed dwelling and a two-bed dwelling — on property secured in Brantford, a signal that the project to bring a tiny-home community to the city has advanced another step.

      With this approval in place and land already secured in Brantford, participants of the Feb. 8 Tiny Homes Working Circle are now looking at ways to develop criteria to help determine candidates that would be the best match for the first phase in this tiny-home living initiative.

      Deborah Hill says it’s easy for her to see the value of a community-based response to the housing need in Brantford — she has experienced the challenges that come with homelessness first hand.


      Addressing the housing crisis will require community members wanting to orchestrate change, not waiting for others to step in, the Brantford resident and supporter of Community Living Brant says, so those working towards this goal are taking a step in the right direction.
