A Tiny Home for Good

A Tiny Home for Good We provide affordable, supportive, permanent housing for individuals who have faced homelessness. (National Alliance to End Homelessness, 2010).

Well maintained, dignified, and safe housing is necessary for people to live a safe and productive life. Unfortunately safe and dignified housing is a struggle to afford housing for people who earn their income from day-to-day labor or temporary assistance. Often individuals are forced to turn to the streets and emergency shelters as permanent residencies, which cannot provide the support they nee

d to get on their feet. Individuals facing chronic homelessness have a life expectancy of 48 to 52 years (O’Connell, 2005) and are significantly less likely to have regular healthcare than the general population (Whitbeck, 2009). Although people facing chronic homelessness only make up ten percent of the homeless population, they utilize fifty percent of public service resources, placing a significant burden on community organizations. So what can be done? In order to permanently house those facing chronic homelessness, there must be an appropriate housing model and support structures readily available. A Tiny Home for Good, Inc. constructs and maintains tiny homes for people struggling with homelessness. Homes are built on vacant city lots, three homes per lot. The homes are between 150 and 200 square feet and are equipped with all the amenities of a regular home. Once built, each home is offered to one individual facing chronic homelessness. Rent is determined on a sliding scale dependent on the resident’s income. Each resident is connected with a professional care manager through a partnership with one of the several care management organizations in the Syracuse area.

This photo made our day. One of our tenants shared this selfie of three neighbors, all ATHFG tenants, enjoying dinner together.

Our work is about more than providing a home. It is about building a community where people feel connected and supported. The homes may bring people together, but our tenants are what make it a community.

There’s nothing quite like a day at The Great The Great New York State Fair! Our tenants and staff had such a great time enjoying the food, animals, rides, music and everything else the Fair has to offer.

Thank you to the team at the Fair for helping make this outing possible and to JJ’s for providing a discounted lunch for our group. It was a special experience and a great opportunity for everyone to spend time together and make new memories.

Our Women’s Group got together again this month for chicken kabobs, arts and crafts, and some time together.

It was especially great to see some new faces from the community joining the group and spending time with our tenants. That kind of support and connection has an incredible impact.

We’re grateful for everyone who continues to show up and be part of this community.

Our partnership with Salt City Coffee goes back much further than this month’s cold brew promotion.

When A Tiny Home for Good was still a staff of just two, Andrew spent the early years of the organization working from an office above the original Salt City Coffee on West Onondaga Street. From that small office, we added 10 housing units and continued building the foundation for the work we do today.

At the same time, Salt City Coffee was building something special of its own. It has been exciting to watch both organizations grow over the years, each finding new ways to serve and strengthen our community.

That shared history is what makes this partnership so meaningful.

Through August 30, $1 from every Valencia Cold Brew purchased at any Salt City Coffee location will support A Tiny Home for Good. Stop by, grab yours and be part of what we are continuing to build together.
