Subject: Tiny Homes: Last year's Community Webinar on Bridge Housing, including Tiny Homes To: Hampton, Tyron <[email protected]>, Madison, Steve <[email protected]>, Rivas, Jessica <[email protected]>, Wilson, Andy <[email protected]> Dear Members of the ED Tech Committee:
As you consider a tiny home community in our City, I thought you might like to know what community members have done thus far in educating our community about the tiny home option.
Below is a link to the "Who's Next Door? Building Bridges: Solutions to Homelessness" community webinar held on May 20, 2021 that was sponsored by Union Station, Making Housing & Community Happen, and Pasadena for All. We had 75 registrants and over 60 attendees. The purpose was to educate our community about homelessness in our City (including myths), the substantial obstacles our persons experiencing homelessness face while living on the street, and tiny homes as an interim housing model for the long waits to permanent housing.
The speakers included Laurie Craft, Program Director from Hope of the Valley; a representative from Pallet, a company that manufactures the tiny homes; and persons with lived experience.
After the webinar, community members gathered signatures on a petition for a tiny home community in our City. We obtained over 200 signatures. I will be sending those to you before your June 1st meeting.
