Thank you, Robert J. Strock and The Global Bridge Foundation, for your excellent work in raising awareness!!

Homelessness and Agriculture with Perry Goldberg – Episode 11 The President of E Pluribus University and founder of thrivela.org, Perry Goldberg, joins host Robert Strock to discuss current efforts to identify solutions and barriers to the growing homelessness problem in California. Current solutions involve building affordable housing where land runs at a pre...

Los Angeles should follow suit here immediately. With 66,436 people homeless in LA County as of the 2020 count, it's a travesty that we aren't embracing smart solutions like this one that don't require any taxpayer subsidy and instead would generate additional tax dollars. Indeed, LA should go even further than San Diego and allow tiny houses on raw land (e.g., in the Antelope Valley) rather than only on property that already has another home.

San Diego approves region's first tiny houses law to help solve housing crisis New option is cheaper than granny flats, can be added more quickly

ThriveLA applauds this shining example from Kansas City of how tiny houses can help our veterans (and anyone else who needs housing). ThriveLA plans to create communities of tiny houses and other housing types, centered around collaborative farms in the agricultural areas of Los Angeles County, where land costs less than one percent of what it costs in the city. Overly restrictive zoning is the only thing standing in our way.

“I’m gonna be sharing the story,” Pete Buttigieg impressed by Veterans Community Project Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who is seeking Democratic nomination in the 2020 presidential election, visited Veterans Community Project together with Mayor-elect Quinton Lucas and former mayoral candidate Jason Kander.

If Austin can do it, so can we! Check out the inspiring work being done at Austin's Community First! Village. One difference is that ThriveLA's communities will be drug-free, but lots of overlap in our approaches and the Community First! Village is a wonderful model.

Housing for $240 per month? We can do it here in LA County! We are at the LATCH Collective Tiny House Expo talking about legalizing tiny homes.

Majority of LA County residents fear being priced out of homes. This is unsustainable. We need tiny house communities legalized LA County today!

Majority of LA County Residents Fear Being Priced Out of Homes As the price of housing in California spirals out of reach, more than half of Los Angeles County residents fear being priced out of living in the region, and younger residents are even more apprehe…

Los Angeles can learn a lot from Seattle's successful tiny house villages for homeless. These creative communities, managed by the Low Income Housing Institute, benefit residents in so many ways by providing housing, community, jobs, and a sense of belonging. Thank you to Take Two for highlighting this issue and we can't wait to launch a tiny house community of our own here in Los Angeles County.

What LA can learn from Seattle's tiny house villages for homeless SoCal cities are considering more temporary shelters to house homeless people. The city of Seattle has experimented with temporary shelters, including tiny house villages.

You can count us in to provide community (jobs, housing, and a purpose) for our neighbors who sleep on our streets.

“Nobody’s probably looking at me and saying, ‘That woman is homeless.’ And I’m willing to bet a lot of them would be surprised.”

The Los Angeles Times finally recognizes what we have know for a long time - the majority of our homeless are people who can’t afford our skyrocketing rents and house prices.

This is solvable. We can build housing quickly and inexpensively with job opportunities and a community of support. Let’s get to work!

The homeless in L.A. are not who you think they are High rents, few vacancies, stagnant incomes and a patchy government safety net — this is why Los Angeles is the facing an unprecedented homeless crisis.

The bed, not the house, used to be the most basic unit of housing. We need to rethink housing in America, starting with tiny home communities.

The Rise and Fall of the American SRO The same cities that struggle to provide affordable housing today eliminated their critical-but-maligned flexible housing stock after World War II.
