'It's a life-changing thing': Tiny houses give second chances to homeless veterans
Thirteen homeless veterans are on life.
The Veterans Community Project provides housing and resources for homeless veterans.
The charity hopes to end homelessness among retired members of the military.
"It's a life-changing thing for me, I've lived pretty hard for some years now. I have hope, they’ve given me hope," said U.S. Army veteran Marvin Gregory, one of the first to move into a tiny home.
Residents can stay in the houses until they’re able to support themselves.
The tiny homes were funded by donations from the community. Veterans Village will eventually hold 49 tiny homes.
Each house is and connects to "city sewer, water, and electric services."
Marvin looks forward to living with people who share similar experiences and he's grateful for another chance at life.
"I'm gonna get down on my knees and say a prayer and thank God for this, because this is a really big blessing," he said.
