A 7-acre plot in Milwaukee will soon be turned into a village of tiny homes for veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
Mayor Tom Bartett signed off on a zoning authorization on Monday, in honor of Veterans Day, for the community.
There will be 42 homes, each about 240 square feet, at the land on 6767 N 60th St, according to the group. There will also be a 10,000-square-foot community center, filled with restrooms, a kitchen, pool tables and a washer and dryer, where veterans can socialize. The community center gives veterans the opportunity to"leave their home on their time and seek out a group setting and then return to privacy and independence when they want," Murphy said.
There are 15 tiny homes in Racine, which are each 120 square feet. So far, the group has successfully graduated nine veterans since the homes were opened in November 2017, according to Murphy.
