Born out of the Wisconsin Uprising in response to Act 10 and the world wide Occupy Wall Street movement and after being exhausted by local efforts to find a legal place for our unhoused neighbors to legally exist, our first tiny house village’s ribbon cutting was in November 2014.
We are proud to have accomplished much in the past 10 years.

-
-
We own two villages mortgage free!
-
We have nearly completed our new manufacturing site for our tiny houses!
-
When completed, we will be able to house 53 previously unhoused individuals in self-governed cooperative communities
-
We have installed solar on 2 of our properties
-
We have a retail store where we sell goods made by residents and volunteers
-
We have a successful greenhouse and annual plant sale to raise funds for the villages
-
-
Things we are working on include:
-
-
-
Getting a food cart up and running
-
Finishing our manufacturing facility
-
Renovating our property for our 3rd village
-
Building 24 larger wooden houses to complete our 1st two villages
-
Building 22 more houses for the 3rd village
-
Getting a “free store” up and running
-
-
We have only been able to do this due to the generosity of many community members who have donated, volunteered, and collaborated with us in many ways. We are inviting the community to come celebrate with us in a progressive party at each of our three villages.
Join us Sunday, November 3rd to take a tour, meet the residents, purchase items made by our residents and enjoy a scavenger hunt of sorts!
