At a press conference on Thursday, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall announced a partnership with The Other Side Academy to create a pilot tiny home village.
The Other Side Academy is a nonprofit rehabilitation and vocational school in Salt Lake City. Draft designs for the village show rings of tiny homes in two concentric circles with potential Airbnb rental locations, a chapel, a dog park, a greenhouse, a community garden, and a communal village center.
Joseph Grenny, Founder of The Other Side Academy said that the village would eventually have as many as 500 units and that after initial expenditures, they’d work to make the project self-sustaining.
SALT LAKE CITY Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall on Thursday unveiled an ambitious plan to start building a master-planned tiny home community to house the homeless and have some homes ready for move-in before winter sets in this year.
To pull it off, the mayor announced a new partnership with a familiar nonprofit that she lauded as having a proven track record of helping those who are homeless, battling substance abuse or who carry a criminal record to turn their lives around, all while being a positive neighbor : The Other Side Academy. This is a huge step forward in this project, Mendenhall said in a news conference outside the Salt Lake City-County building. We re moving at light speed here, given the scope and urgency of the challenge we ve had to do that. It s gone from concept to execution in less than a year. And I think that s a testament to the commitment of this capital city and to our partners to confront the reality and the complexity of the issues we face s
