In the United States, there are over half a million people without a roof over their heads. According to Statista, after a period of progress and decline, the U.S. homeless population has increased slightly by two percent according to a report from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. For this purpose, a beautiful village with tiny homes was built. This village is unlike any other out there!!!

Why you may wonder. Well, it is like that because a number of “artists and locals have taken it upon themselves to make an impact in their own unique ways,” by painting each house in different colors, making Alexandria Park Tiny Home Village a cozy and pleasant place to start your life over. This village, which is designed and implemented by Lehrer Architects in conjunction with the Bureau of Engineering, is the second of its kind.

“The residence has 103 single and double-occupancy units, as well as community structures and outdoor spaces.” It can accommodate approximately 200 homes. The tiny homes include a fold-down bed, heat, air conditioning, electrical outlets, and locks. Residents of the village are provided with three meals per day, as well as community showers, restrooms, storage areas, dining areas, and support services.

“It’s exhilarating to be here using our medium to give, develop, and invent form and processes to transform Los Angeles into a fully housed city,” said Michael B. Lehrer, founding partner of Lehrer Architects. “A joy of citizenship is making a difference.” We are completely smitten by this ingenious solution that provides homeless people with a place to stay until they can find a permanent home.

The establishment has a no-alcohol policy and an evening curfew, but its residents enjoy numerous advantages. Check out the video below for more information on the project and this village, which is built on an unused section of land near the freeway.
