See a new tiny-home community where former inmates can live for free to get back on their feet
. Pallet has built tiny homes in 11 different states across the country from California to Massachusetts.
The Village of Hope is designed to help integrate newly released inmates into the community by first giving them a place to stay. The Kintock Group, a non-profit organization that specializes in reentry programs, offered up land next to one of its halfway houses to build the 100-square-foot pods.Paul Taggines, COO of the Kintock Group, told Insider that each home cost about $15,000 on average to construct, and operation costs are anticipated to be under $3,000 a month.
"We're ready to take program participants immediately," Taggines said."We're working with parole to identify who they want to send into the program." The Kintock Group and the Gateway Community Action Partnership will also provide transitional services like helping them acquire state identification, finding jobs, and a place of their own.
"Homelessness is a problem," Kelly said."And this is one way of demonstrating how we can, not only house those who are coming out of a halfway house, but perhaps we can expand on this for our homeless in our inner cities. And that's what our hope is."Subscribe to push notifications
