Also to all those teenagers , I wanna Thank you for volunteering your time and services on the making of the Tiny homes.

No one can make any moves in life unless they have a small, safe, secure space to live in. It is the stability and foundation on which everything else in one's life is built on.

I love that more and more people are caring for others.

Here in Spain we have 3 million empty houses (bubble, you know). They are owned by banks and greedy investors. There are 40.000 homeless people in Spain. I guess the solution is simple...

Although I don't feel that this will solve the homelessness in the US completely, since there are still a large portion of the homeless that are due to extreme mental illness and/or drug abuse, I think this is a great step forward.

This should be all over the country.This is desperately needed here in Monroe county Pa.

Wish more places would do something like this to give people a chance... the greed in governments is making life so hard, for so many people.

If we all come together to show our love and compassion for one another, there would be no more homeless - It is genuine humility these kids are learning. ♡

I mean let that sink in. a person lost his house and everything when his house went in to foreclosure....because he got sick.... like, seriously. I really hate that

I don't know how to thank you for all the hard work building small homes for homeless people a big thanks to all of you 😁😁😁😁😁😊

I've been on the street for a year now , I'm so tired its not funny sleeping behind stores ... I would absolutely love this I absolutely need this.

in my town theres people who made housing for the homeless using recycled shipping crates.

They should have tiny houses like that everywhere and anywhere so homeless people can have shelter. God bless all those who helped and cared for others.

I'm glad this is happening. I hope it becomes more widespread.

This is one of the nicest things I've ever seen. Maybe I should volunteer when I'm older...

That's what we need more in this world LOVE not hate!

'It's great to be able to have a key and a lock on a door' - things we take for granted everyday!!

This will really help the homeless it warms my heart that people are helping others

What a wonderful idea for helping others who would other wise have to stay in a shelter or even the streets! I love seeing this kind of story. Such a breath of fresh air from all the negative news and videos out there.

i absolutely adore this. i would love to be apart of something like this. this is awesome and amazing.

Yes it can help, I currently stay in a homeless village in Scotland and it has helped me so much.

I really hope this project continues being successful. :D

we need allot of those here in California I'll help. ..especially los angeles and san fernando vally

Yes we need to do this all over the US!

thank you to all of you who made small houses for homeless people

Even adding solar panels and back up electric generators is also a must.

Terrific that people are reaching out to others. I love it. Much Love from Canada!

In the USA, we have more abandoned homes than homeless people. We don't need more homes, we need to preserve those we already have.

They probably can, if the government will allow it

Positive around project,the no substance rule is a good one as well.

It's about time they did something like this in the UK. ..ok they've made experimental 10x10x10 cube houses but they are not aimed at homeless people and it's something that is needed desperately. .I'd be willing to help build and I am sure lpts of others would too.

This is great!

Yes, you can turn shipping containers into low income housing. There are so many empty containers sitting across the country, and wouldn't cost much to refurbish them.

Very admirable of her

Aw man! I thought I had an original idea! I guess I could still do this, too. Love it!

These programs are great. They bring a sense of pride and accomplishment to participants and they also build relationships between groups of different ages. I really appreciate these folks in Seattle sharing this. The more we all do for each other, the more we all benefit. Love to see this sort of thing in UK where we have a huge housing problem.

What is wrong with American society that getting sick can lead you to ending up on the streets. I know socialism is a dirty word in the US but come on, have some kind of safety net for people.

Tears!! God bless you! I'm glad that homelessness is being brought to a positive light. Praying for everyone to see the truth. Many people can downsize and give in America. There shouldn't be such a struggle to survive if you are just simply falling through the cracks. I happened to fall through the cracks with my daughter and went through hell trying to get back up again after a divorce. We have a testimony in the works and are still praying for a home of our own. I've never used drugs...and it's those women with children who are overlooked and thrown into poverty. My husband didn't care about anything but himself and his lustful desires. God sees every hurt and tear shed. Praying and stay ENCOURAGED!!! Bless them ALL LORD!!

This is absolutely the most fabulous thing I have seen on youtube for a long time. I love these people.

Bless them all people, those who had the idea of , and poor homeless people who found a bit of space and can feel safe 🙆🙌

Now if only people flocked to do things such as this instead of flocking to sightings of rare pokemon for Pokemon Go, the world would be a better, more self sufficient, more efficient, and more caring place. Though I have a question. Do the people living in Nickelsville get to learn how to build the houses and help in building them? I believe that would be a great benefit to them as well. Hopefully they would learn to build houses themselves and would then help in the building of houses for other homeless people, passing on the knowledge and helping people as they were helped.

It looks like a great stepping stone to new life. A new beginning for the people. If you guys need any free design msg us. Also take a look at our basic studio units at low cost of $3,900 for 180sqf. Keep up the good work

I want to volunteer now after watching this over and over again

We definitely need more communities like this, with a central shower/washroom/kitchen. Also with a resource hall to help those get working again. It gives people hope, respect, diginity having a secured home.

Great job people =) Thank you for making a difference in the lives of the homeless and your community!

What an absolute brilliant idea. To a lot of people, homelessness are people with substance abuse and/or drinking issues, but it's more than that. Homeless people aren't throw-away people but more so fragile people who have been through a lot and need our love, compassion and understanding to rebuild their lives and have the same chance in life as everybody else. People who have it are so selfish and arrogant, and they don't realise how fragile the balance is and could easily loss it all in a blink of an eye. And the bit that frustrates me about those who have it all, they think that the homeless, hobo, tramp etc are a completely different species to who they are, guess what, they're NOT! Donating to charities once a year is all fine, but how about showing charity to those who are less fortunate, i.e. Give someone on the street a bag of clean clothes you don't wear anymore, or a cup of tea with sandwiches, even a bar of chocolate etc. Anyway with those little villages, as well as having somewhere safe and warm to live, they will be given a sense of community and belonging to a family with people who knows where they are coming from. Two broken souls together can mend and eventually become two happy and healthy souls. Remember we weren't born broken, negative circumstances and abuse beyond our control will break your a person's spirit, but with love, compassion and understanding from others, we can be mended. And it's proven facts that when someone with an addictive personality is given something to live for and surrounded by love and support, the drugs, alcohol that was their crutch to coping with life will become less important to them as the confidence within them grow. All they want is for someone to not judge them but to listen, treat them like a human being and be a friend, and most importantly and obviously what this project is giving to them, something worthwhile to live for.

This is so pleasing to hear. I was homeless with my two kids. I lived temporarily in a hotel not a good one, we rose above that and we are on housing now here in Indiana. In 5/6 mos I plan to have the trailer I put money down on paid off and I will begin to build my tiny home. I am now raising my grandbaby. I've had her since she was 8 days old with no help from her parents. I can't wait to begin my Tiny Home. You are doing a wonderful job and I'm excited about what you are doing for them.

That's gr8! I think of this everyday! It's important that we help one another without being judgmental.

Excellent,well done,nice to see someone helping

Seattle, the home of great ideas.

As an older disabled lady who has experienced homelessness, I thank you for this wonderful solution! Every state should have a Sawhorse Project. I rent a room, which is my current temporary solution to my seemingly permanent housing problem. Having a tiny house would fulfill my dream & present a true solution. Bravo to you!

This is amazing!! Thank you guys SO MUCH for doing this!! There are so many rich people out there who really could help do something to help others. Not just donating to charities but actually DO SOMETHING to help. And they don't, they spend money on new cars, 300,000 dollar homes and everything. It just makes me sick that people who would actually help never get enough money to help and people who are stingy win all kinds of money. Like wow omg!!!

Yes it can indeed

These kids are amazing people!

Thank you for sharing!. Much needed by so many these days.

This is totally my speed would luv to join a community like this! No trouble just self substaind living,and community! You guys are amazing. This gives me hope.

I wish I could see the good in people like this

So awesome.

this is just Amazing. :) I feel the Joy of seeing a lot volunteers helping and putting a Happy smile in people in need!

Building the tiny homes was such a great idea. God bless and thanks for sharing.

Where can I sign up. I have the knowage.and love it.

I'm not homeless but I want a tiny home so bad.

Awwww..Thats so wonderful and amazing!!! God Bless Us All!!!

Thank you Seeker Stories. It's heart warming to see positive news and even learn a thing or two in the process.

this is the best thing ever you guys are amazing

I object to the term, "Encampment" it implies it is illegitimate.

I like the idea of providing work experience for High School students, and a place to call "home" for the homeless people! Tiny homes are being considered in Canada, but not in the same way that it is in the U.S. I think Canada should seriously think of building tiny homes like these, and creating communities like this one! We have so many homeless people, it just makes me cry! I encourage this way of thinking, especially if it can at least help the homeless a little by giving them homes like the ones in this video! ~Janet in Canada

This made me cry! So glad someone has come up with something. I thought field working with houses too and they would make their food. This is amazing!💜👍☺

that's nice I want to do this when I grow up right now I am 7

so cute,, even I wash I had one those houses 😍

this is the greatest video iv ever seen.... come to Dallas or world wide..... iv always thought of this and know it's happening.... homeless people don't lose their belongings because they want to it gets taken away and we should all volunteer in this type of things......

this is so nice, these types of videos almost make me cry, good job on helping people who are In nees

wish that my daughter and I had one of these last summer... can't survive in Texas in a car in the summer, we went to Colorado and stayed out an old logging road, in a four man tent..... One of the best summers of my life... but this shelter would of kept the raccoons from destroying our much needed shelter in the end.... being homeless isnt fun, these would make the basic worries of survival much easier to take....❤

ilove this i would even help

A big Thank You to the young men & woman helping build these houses.

this is a great idea & we should be supporting projects like this on a global scale. I'm going to raise this issue in my community & see if we can do it here in Sydney Australia. everyone deserves a home, a place they can feel safe.

This is awesome...but do u have to pay for the land, like lot rent? Ik the government doesn't allow anything for free 😒

Didn't this just get torn down? over by the Boro School and Goodwill? Or am I thinking of another place?

The concept of tiny homes is really great. Certainly it does not solve all problems that come along with homelessness but it helps. I hoe this project can go on and expand to help more people. Great job!!

Truly awesome and Keep up with great work! Thank you =)

Funny how no one sees this for what it is, the first step towards shantytowns.

as a conservative, I don't care if the person is lazy, drug addict, or whatever. You don't have to do anything to deserve the kindness of people.

This is amazing and like you said most kids don't get to build houses, but my school actually has a manufacturing company and they build a house every year.

What a great idea we should all support this effort. Keep up the good work.

hey this was my idea!!! but i guess i never told anyone.

Dear God, Please donate lots of all the equipment that is needed for all the home for the Homeless in all states and countries and please help this and all organizations that are helping the homeless have an abundance of supplies to build the homes 💖 Thank You God 👍👍💖 💖💖💞👼 🌟 Amen 👍👍👼🌟💖 We Care! 👍👼🌟

Great way to learn skills while helping to build your own home. Awesome program!!

Have something like this in mind, Wow and came across your video..! Beautiful job God Bless you guys!!!

I would like one of those homes. me being alone. i have no place to live In Denver.

600.000 homeless in U.S ???? 😱wow...

We need this In Philly. What an empowering opportunity for the youth and the homeless

Thank You. That's all I have too say. You guys have changed people's lifes for the better. I thank you for being such a inspiration to me. Thank You!

2:22 So since you help put up insulation you now know how to make tools you bought from Home Depot and know to survive on a island...................................

It's not the people who are the problem, it's the system. America, step up, and get better health care and social programs. More socialism does not equal communism.

I'm glad more and more people are caring about our homeless people! ....God bless ......

This is great that kid's are learning to give back and to know they can make a difference. We need a organization like this in Mineral Wells Tx. We've got a big problem with homeless people and really could use a idea's like this to help with the crisis. God Bless all that Care. Rebecca McConnell

Betteridge's Law of Headlines. no, tiny houses won't assist getting people out of homelessness, in fact, it'll actually disvantage those homeless people because of the difficulty in moving on from places that have no insulation, running water, electricity or sewerage connections, and where they might be victimised by local dickheads who smash their stuff up. when you're homeless, you really REALLY don't want other people to know where you sleep - it's just too dangerous. these people are building a slum and expecting people to thank them for it.

They need that here in the Philippines 🇵🇭

I'm in the process of becoming a peer counselor and I'm going to school. This sounds like a great idea. I can't wait to gather more information

This is a beautiful blessing. I know several people who could benefit with this project, here in the San Fernando Valley. A perfect plan to homelessness. Many Blessings to All
