Marcus Stoltzfus, co-owner of Liberation Tiny Homes, shows off a model similar to the kind being considered to house people experiencing homelessness in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the United States.
"Tiny homes," said Matt Meshey, a co-owner of Liberation Tiny Homes."We see them as the solution to a lot of issues, homelessness being one of them. This has gone from a novelty to people realising it's something they can really do." She's been working with City Council as well as the Department of Licenses and Inspections on a plan that could recalibrate current thinking on homelessness.
"I'm confident this will go forward," Sena said Monday morning."This is my life's work. We are so close." "We're on board with Stephanie's vision," Meshey said."She talks about a community setting with wellness centers in a village. It's more than just houses for people. She's been fighting for this for years. She impressed us."At Liberation the other day, co-owner Marcus Stoltzfus gave a tour of the small factory, his voice rising to overcome the whirring of saws in the kinetic workshop.
Stoltzfus conceded that Liberation tiny homes run around US$10,000 or so more than Sena's desired price."But," he said,"we will partner in some way with the city."
