This tiny home is one of 50 that make up Veterans Village, a new housing project in Kansas City
Homeless veterans can live here completely free, and stay as long as they need to
The houses were built by Veterans Community Project, a local non-profit organisation
Each house is about the size of a studio apartment, containing a full kitchen and bathroom
They also come stocked with food and necessities, which veterans can have replenished as needed
The village’s community atmosphere will help veterans feel less isolated
By receiving proper care and socialisation, they can readjust to life after service and cope with trauma
Having their own space will give them a sense of privacy, security, and comfort, just like a real home
The project was funded by generous donations to the VCP from various organisations
Each tiny house costs about $10,000 to produce, making the village space- and cost-effective
A similar village was constructed in 2013 in Olympia, Washington, for homeless community members
