      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.

      A Vision to End Homelessness in Brantford, One Tiny Home at a Time — A Q&A with Sid

      Sid is homeless and living in Brantford. Several months ago, he approached Belonging Brant with an idea to help improve his living situation and that of others in Brantford through an initiative to bring affordable housing to the city.
