Two dozen tiny cabins are on track to find a home in a downtown Hamilton park later this year, after councillors voted in support of the two-year pilot project at a meeting Monday. Tiny homes will be a place for residents to find stability as they wait for permanent housing, says one of the organizers.
City staffers are putting their support behind setting up a community of tiny houses instead of sanctioned encampments as part of its response to the city’s homelessness emergency. They also have an adjusted encampment protocol and plans in the short-term and in the long-term.
