Detroit Builds First of Several Tiny Houses for Low-Income Families

Published: Jul 1, 2017 · Modified: Aug 9, 2020 by itiny · This post may contain affiliate links ·

Detroit has been battling the issue of inadequate housing solutions for low-income families for years now. One of their most recent solutions was found in the Cass Community where their social services network raised money to build a community of tiny houses. The first home has now been built and we think it’s a great start for what could be a wonderful new start for these families.

The community will have about twenty-five homes in it ranging from 250 to 400 square feet. And our favorite part is that they won’t be cookie-cutter houses! Each will have its own personality and design. Residents will have to qualify for the homes but once they’re living in the tiny homes, they’ll be paying around $300 in rent a month on a rent-to-own basis.

The first house they built had 300 square feet and it even has a deck off of it for outdoor living.

Inside, the homes are well-designed giving room for dining, living, and a fully functional kitchen.

The dining area is in a nook off of the living room with space for four guests to sit comfortably. A small loft over the table provides room for storage.

The kitchen features a full-sized stove, oven, dishwasher and with tons of storage in the dark cabinets and a small sink and mini-fridge.

The bedroom is in an alcove next to the kitchen with enough space for a full-sized bed to be tucked into.
