Tiny Home Project
The Tiny
Home
Alternative
for
Accessible
Living
As
a
community
planner
who
has
worked
in
the
field
of
aging
for
over
45 years,
I
wish
to
creatively
address
the
unmet
need
for
accessible
housing for
people
with
disabilities
or
special
needs.
Our
small
team
is
currently exploring
the
idea
of
using
accessible
tiny
houses
located
in
supportive environments
as
a
possible
alternative
housing
solution.
The
Challenge:
Consider
how
your
life
-
and
housing
needs
-
could
change
with
disease,
illness,
a
car accident,
aging,
a
work
injury,
paralysis,
a
military
service
injury,
a
sports
injury,
a
fall. Many
people
reach
a
point
in
their
lives
where
physical
limitations
can
cause
them
to need
a
safe,
accessible
environment
and
help
with
tasks
like
meal
preparation,
bathing, medication
management,
shopping,
etc.
Desirable
housing
options
are
limited, regardless
of
income
level.
The
Vision
for
a
New
Option:
One
possibility
is
to
use
an
emerging
new
model
-
tiny
homes
that
are
designed
to
be accessible
and
flexible
enough
to
be
moved
or
removed
when
no
longer
needed.
This unit
could
be
attached
to
an
existing
home
or
be
freestanding.
We
see
this
option
as
an
opportunity
and
challenge
that
requires
expertise
from
a variety
of
fields
and
groups,
including
potential
consumers,
construction,
engineering, design,
local
government,
regulatory
agencies,
home
health
community,
veterans advocates,
disability
communities,
economic
development
experts,
agencies
on
aging, and
more.

This
project
is
in
the
exploratory
phase
and
we
are
looking
for
advisors, collaborators,
and
potential
partners.
Thoughts
and
questions
are
encouraged!
