When the end of World War Two brought on a housing crunch decades ago, Canada created a catalogue of homes that could be constructed quickly. It worked.
Now, faced with a housing crisis again, we’re bringing that post-war catalogue back – with a new set of modern blueprints.

Citizens struggling to access safe, affordable, dignified housing (the homeless), when asked if they would live in a #MicroHome, the response 99% of the time is “Fuck ya!”.
The other 1% respond with "Hell ya!"

If Housing 1st is the model, why are we not embracing #Microhomes & #TinyHomes?

THEY WON’T SAY IT. STASH WAS ABUSED. The excuse for dumping her: a “human” is suddenly allergic after 4 years. She’s terrified, cowering; has an untreated UTI. Now without her pledges via @TomJumboGrumbo they’ll kill Stash #81743 Thursday PLEASE RT STASH! newhope.shelterbuddy.com/Ani…

Love it! We did this in #YYC with 18,000 school children. Instead of continuing this important work, @prasadpandayyc chose to shut us down. #YouthMatter #ableg #yeg #farm #urbanag

I know many Calgarians living in #poverty, or are #homeless, that would like any kind of shelter, anywhere.

Are micro-houses the solution to Britain’s homelessness crisis?
With an estimated 320,000 people homeless in Britain, orgs are turning to using tiny ‘pods’ as temporary accommodation
