Tiny Home Village for Veterans Set to Break Ground in Cincinnati A new tiny home village designed to provide stable housing for veterans is set to begin construction in the Madisonville neighborhood of Cincinnati. The project, spearheaded by Tiny Homes for Humanity, will feature 14 compact dwellings tailored to meet the needs of veterans currently residing in temporary housing. Each home will include essential amenities such as a front porch, living area, kitchenette, dining space, full bathroom, and bedroom, all within a 276-square-foot footprint. The development is expected to cost approximately $2 million to build, with each home priced at $70,000. The initiative, named Veterans Village, will be constructed on the property of Gaines United Methodist Church on Madison Road. The site will also include a central village green with a public gazebo, along with additional community spaces such as a dog park and an expanded church parking lot for resident use. Veterans living in the village will have access to the church’s facilities for programming and activities, fostering a sense of community and support. Funding for the project has been partially secured through a conditional grant of $1 million from Hamilton County. However, the development team must raise at least three-fourths of the remaining $1.02 million by June 30 to meet the grant’s requirements. The Madisonville Community Council has issued two letters of support for the project, underscoring local backing for the initiative. Residents of the village will benefit from rent subsidies provided through federal programs, ensuring they pay no more than 30% of their income in rent. This financial assistance aims to make housing affordable and sustainable for veterans transitioning from temporary shelters.#tiny_homes_for_humanity #gaines_united_methodist_church #madisonville #hamilton_county #madisonville_community_council
