Our\u00a0Vision<\/h2>\n

To\u00a0develop tiny home villages where people can live and help provide for their own needs. Without shelter, it is not possible to address the underlying issues of homelessness such as mental illness and addiction.<\/p>\n

Walking with a Purpose is\u00a0partners with Settled a local nonprofit,\u00a0 in creating a Tiny Home\u00a0Sacred Settlement in Minnesota. This would be the first of its kind in the state and would make great strides towards addressing homelessness at its core.<\/p>\n

The photo below shows a tiny home village under construction by Occupy Madison. With help from numerous community groups, Occupy Madison\u00a0now has two locations with over 30\u00a0tiny houses, a day resource center, laundry facilities and a community gardening space in the village. The 96 square foot homes are made from reclaimed and recycled materials and include a bed, a toilet, propane heat and solar panels for electricity. Each building costs around $5,000 to build and the money was raised with private donations.<\/h6>\n
