FYI Ryan has made a second version of the Tiny Tiny Home featured in this updated video (which is more to the point) here: ua-cam.com/video/3bYfCRKwckM/v-deo.html
My husband & I used to be homeless for years. Having these would have saved our lives of so much grief. Having to uproot “this minute”, having our stuff stolen, having a place to put our stuff, and so much more. In one of these my husband would have been able to actually sleep. He tried everything to protect me & make me feel protected. These things would make a Huge difference in the life of any homeless person who is able to get one of these. These should be advertised and brought to the government, everyone and anyone who can and would make a difference❤ Good for You! This is brilliant!
@Hayden Wow! To say you and your husband USED to be homeless is PRICELESS. I love that your husband always tried to protect you from harm. Sounds like you guys have something together that alot of people don't have. Wow. I can imagine the BOND between you two, to have endured what you two have. Lots of love and light I'm sending your way for the both of you and HANG ON TO THAT MAN. He truely cares for you it sounds. Blessings.
You do realize these are not exactly cheap to build? Solar panels on top are not cheap. How could you possibly secure this anywhere? A cordless angle grinder can cut through any metal pretty much. All bike locks are like butter against an angle grinder. If they can secure it it would be much more practical. Clearly this guy doesn't ride bikes I guess. Plus when you're homeless you're often around other homeless and most are drug addicts/thieves so now you are a prime target that you weren't in your old tent. Because everyone has an old tent or tarp so they don't want yours. But this really gets back to the cause of this mess: Opiate addiction to drugs way more powerful than they ever used to and the stupidity of people still buying street drugs that could be laced with Fentanyl. We've been reading about the risks for years yet they still do it. You just can't fix stupid.
Agreed. Each big city needs these tiny tiny homes. There are some who may not be homeless yet but the rising cost of rent they will be soon. This is a good alternative.

Also, if someone doesn’t come out for several days, first responders will have a pretty clear idea what they’re going to find behind the clean, convenient, super effective technology called “closed door to finite space”.
I think this is a wonderful idea and I hope to be able to contribute in the future ❤...maybe I can design something for your branding 😮...I'll let you know if/when I do.
@@LMBee00 Yea your right, I mean someone's life is not worth giving up a parking space. I mean a place to park your oversized car or SUV is really more important than a humans health and well-being. I mean it doesn't necessarily mean that you are a Monster just because you value parking more than life itself for someone in need. I mean why would you care? It's not YOU that's out there on the street vulnerable and cold or anything. But it is you that has all the answers, I mean since you're more important than other people and all. May you receive everything you deserve. And screw everyone else after all. Right?🤔
@@Jimi-h3i No Jim. I was homeless for the better part of 20 years. I lived in cars, vans and the sidewalk. No one should be displaced especially those that work and need to park their own car in their neighborhood. I don't have all the answers, but taking up parking spaces for homeless people is not the solution, living on the streets is not the solution either, letting everyone into this country is also not the solution!
😮This is a brilliant concept. One possible way to make it viable: maybe companies could pay for the houses by using them as mobile advertising. The companies could pay the dwellers to drive around the city, thus giving them a small income and dignity.
As long as the homes are owned by them - could be a viable option. Though the owner can get creative with their income and also have a stealthy home. Whatever their preference.
It's a lot easier housing people in sleeping pods like they do in Japan. It's very space efficient. The pod could even be locked up when they are out keeping their valuables safe. A pod would be high enough one could sit up in so easily 2 stacked in an 8' ceiling room or 3 if you really push it with a thin mattress. They could be ventilated, soundproof and light proof so people would sleep very well, unlike in homeless dormitory type shelters where they wake up exhausted in the morning because of the noise all night from addicts Jonesing for their fix. The pod could be about 7' long with shelves on each side for belongings. 7' x say 4' x 4' = 112 cubit feet. Now take a room with an 8' ceiling like most are. Make it about 17' wide to allow for a 3' hallway for easy access. Think of how many you could get into just 1000 sq ft. In a large warehouse you could house literally thousands. But how do you get addicts into treatment if they don't feel like it? You make possession illegal. But they don't get a record, they are just segregated. Oh....possession would entail testing positive for illegal drugs. And police would have the power to test people on the street if they suspected. Most are very easy to spot. In a few days entire downtowns could be swept clean of addicts and they would all be drying out in a place where there is no chance of drugs entering because everyone is searched coming and going and they aren't going anywhere for weeks. And they are kept busy with work programs while there so they can learn new skills. And they maintain their own facilities. Indoor growing could feed much of their dietary needs. Because without treatment MOST WILL DIE of their addiction. Or get imprisoned for years at great cost to the taxpayer.
I agree, but who’s paying for it? I don’t think the average homeless person well, maybe they get a check just like the next person unless they get alcohol or drugs they should have some money I hope he says the next ones gonna be I doubt they have close to 10,000 for one, but you never know could be rich.
@@caroljohnston5677 Our governments are spending millions of dollars for temporary housing for homeless folks. One of the options should be buying a parking lot and filling it with these 'tiny tiny' homes.
@@pamelabennett4792 at least his intentions are good and he has started to do something about the fact that people are homeless and what he can help with that
A suggestion for your next model: Put in a Rice Cooker with a steaming basket instead of a butane element. A rice cooker with steaming basket can cook an entire meal, (rice/bulghur wheat/couscous + steam vegetables + steam meat or hard boil eggs) AND it turns itself off when it's finished cooking. Much better for health, safety and likely less challenge for your power systems. A small crock pot would be good too...again it turns itself off.
The city needs to provide spaces with portable toilets where people could park these overnight without getting into trouble. This guy is awesome and definitely needs to be sponsored and supported. Homeless people need help to get into some sort of shelter especially in the winter and this is a great intermediate solution.
Yes. Any of the carparks at shopping centers could, for a small fee, allow access to their toilets etc. A certain part of the carpark could be set aside for that; there however should be a time people have to leave their rented space of a morning.
This is a prototype, and this is a great idea, Ryan ! Living in a tent is inhuman in an urban environment. I truly admire your project! ! Excellent work 👏🏻 👍🏻
Absolutely amazing. This gentleman deserves a Noble Peace Prize. I am sending prayers that this amazing concept takes off and helps thousands of people in need.
It’s a nice design, but there are MANY of these “mobile or stationary boxes” for the homeless, and people making them. The hard part is always the land underneath…where can people leave them and live/sleep in them? Do they just use the bathroom “elsewhere?” How long can they stay in one spot, how many in one area? Those are the points where it starts to get hard and solutions are really tricky.
Very charismatic and well spoken gentleman showing off the tiny home. I really enjoyed listening to him speaking. I experienced homelessness back in October last year and feel it has forever changed me. The levels of pride and joy he has for his home is truly special. I’m very happy for him.
I think the problem with this world is that if there's no profit and to fill the pockets of executives that make the decisions, there's no chance they will help.
Very well executed.. the occupant will have to be organized which discounts the majority of homeless with drug/mental issues. As to materials used, don't kid yourself, it's not green for a variety of reasons. This is an e-powered travel trailer. It would need lots of insulation to be remotely efficient, where to drain the grey water, the weight of water and diesel. We wouldn't have the homeless problem in the first place if intetest rates weren't kept at rock bottom for 20+ years. I like his ideas but when reality comes knocking, we'll see.
in a capitalist society, the goal is not to make the world a better place. Its to compete with each other to maximize profits. Wealth is success, wealth is political influence and power... then we consider all the losers from that process as an after thought.
Kathy I appreciate the way you expressed the same way I feel. This project of Ryans is in a state of evolution from his recognition homeless people need safety to a viable tiny casa. Just think a year from now what it could be.😊😊
This guy is amazing! He has thought of everything and has done more than anyone! It is a great temporary solution to encampments. The City of Toronto should be 100% supporting him in this endeavour!
@@Beachdawg1996 I think Pierre wants real actual homes for his Canadians. This is a great temporary measure for now while we dig ourselves out of the mess Trudeau has left us in.
This Is Awesome!, I literally just told my daughter that I would love to build a Tiny Home Community for the Homeless and those that have Mental Illness here in Harrisburg, PA and now your video popped up on my feed!
Most people will feel bad for the homeless population, say "it's not fair" and "someone should do something", then they move on with their lives and don't do anything about it. Ryan clearly cares about people and he acts accordingly. The homeless crisis is huge in every city, Halifax has 11 tent cities. It used to be that homeless people were on drugs, but now they seem to be working full time and can't afford to live or even find a place. This is a great idea. Nice word, Ryan.
A lot of homeless people end up homeless again because they waste their money on drugs, and alcohol. You'd be surprised how many people actually enjoy living in misery and filth. I currently live in subsidized housing and hate living here due to so many neighbors and their FILTH! They get a home that's almost free to rent and instead of appreciating it, what do they do? They turn it into Trash! When I wasn't poor, I used to feel sorry for the poor in Canada, after becoming a single mother and becoming poor and living in poor neighborhoods, I stopped feeling sorry for most poor people in Canada(especially singles without children) cause many of them are thieves, users, filthy, selfish people that don't appreciate the help they get a lot of the times and turn everything into trash.
@@Fido-vm9zi Be careful what you say because you don't know what the future holds and there's always that 1 person who's negative and that would be you. 🙄 Some people may have mental issues and there's so many more reasons why people are homeless. It's about getting people out of the elements not about how they look, I think God that I have the life that I do and I would never talk down on the homeless.
More power to Ryan! Homelessness is something many of us feel so powerless to assist with other than donating money, goods, etc. Anyone trying to take concrete action to support folks who are un-housed until we can make systemic change has all of my respect. Everyone deserves to be housed, safe, secure, warm, have a bed, etc. Thank you for showcasing this initiative.
@@janetaskin2150 this is just prolonging his misery. Shame, I'd like to also point out how lawless and unruly homeless people are. This guy will be taken advantage of or will take advantage of others. This may be the worst idea ever
All my respect to this intelligent young man. With this kind of prototype there is no excuse for governments to help the growing homeless population in Canada. Congratulations !
You are So inspiring....I, m 76 solo female...living in my 18ft Skoolie...converted into tiny home...All I can afford...its comfortable...but got hot this summer...used fans...have to use Mr.Buddy in winter...also have two burner Coleman stove...comfy bed....these are SO NEEDED...THANK YOU SO MUCH
I’m a 69 yo solo on the other side of the pond, in my own home. Lucky. But lady you have a story to tell, now tell it. I’ve had some good luck and some bad but I’ve alway manage to hold on to my home that I bought in 1977 My kids (3) were born here and I’m not leaving until I’m in my box (preferably a woven willow withies one, as my family are a long line of basket makers), it’s my home, I love it. But you lady are having an adventure, enjoy. I admire you. ❤
God ever present blessing on you for your efforts and skills to help the homeless. May this be the answer that the government wants to sponsor by teaching it in our high schools. It will bring awareness to the students and also teach compassion and carpentry skills while giving a home for the less fortunate.
This is a wonderful idea. I especially love that the person not only has a home but transportation to work. That should help them get on their feet even faster.
This is a heartwarming, inspiring and thought provoking project! I hope Ryan receives all the support needed to continue his work. His daughter can be very proud of her dad!
Saddens me that this is necessary. But then, what a wonderful project to help society. A dignified space. You are a fine young man to have this vision and execute it. Good luck.
Cheers to Ryan for his heart and initiative to make a difference in lives. He is one person with the skills and knowledge of a single person. Many of the encouraging comments here along with suggestions are perhaps things he has not yet considered. Don't tear him down but offer to brainstorm and make this an even better product. He deserves a lot of credit being part of the housing solution.
I’m so proud of Ryan. What a wonderful individual. He is running a mini habitat for humanity. We need more people like him in the world. We are so blessed to have him as a fellow Canadian❤
I also am so heartened to see someone who cares enough to actually DO something. The heart, the effort that went into building this structure-KUDOS TO YOU SIR! Thank you for highlighting his efforts. Now we just need someone with the same heart and the ability to finance his efforts!!!!❤😊
Hey, JS! It's wonderful of Ryan to build these mobile homes for the homeless. Kudos to you for bringing awarenesss of these homes by featuring in a video. Thanks, JS. 😊
This was heartfelt. All peoples deserve to be housed. Governments have lots of money for useless wars, and help for other countries in need. How come they "never have the funds" to take care of their own citizens? I hope one day, I never have to see anyone sleeping in the streets on cardboards, tents, undergrounds, benches, and many dangerous places. This goes for homeless animals like: dogs, and cats. 😪😢
@@alexv1190 My comment is about homelessness in our own backyards, and governments always having funds to support ALL useless wars, but not to help the needy. Yes, they benefit the billionaires, (military industrial complex) and the governments that order those wars. Does it benefit the regular soldier that fights those wars? NO! The soldier that survives, gets a Medal. The one that dies, comes home in a box (whole or in pieces). The family gets a Flag, and a Medal as a "Thank you for your Service"... The root of the problem starts with Our Governments, that gives our tax money to billionaires to 'play' with... Capitalism is the name of the game, masking as: "They're fighting for our freedoms".
Wow, what a genius idea! Ryan's innovative tiny tiny homes are not only practical but also show such compassion for those in need. This could truly make a positive difference in many lives. Kudos to him for taking action and inspiring others!
This is awesome and sad at the same time. Awesome for it being a solution to many homeless people. Sad that something like this is needed in today's society.
Exactly 👍🏻 I’m heartbroken watching this wonderful young entrepreneur make something viable when the city just seems to dance around the issues. The shelters don’t really respect the clients. The food is crap. Instant skim milk, tongue sandwiches, served by people who think you are worse than a dog 😢 Every single building going up should have 20% of the units subsidized.👍🏻💯
Absolutely. I was livid when I saw the Regent Park apartment I lived in 30 years ago auctioned off for almost a million dollars. I looked up the billionaire responsible for that crap. Vladimir Putin much?
I pray with all my HEART and soul that's something is done where these can be used. I help the homeless off and on through the '90s and 2019 everything was taken and I ended up on hard times myself. However I'm grateful for what I have and my small social security check. I can't imagine being on the streets with eczema along with other health issues so I pray someone pays attention to this. Thank you for having the heart to do this.
My man Ryan ❤❤ Hats off my dear friend. Just wow. Its perfectly made for people who is homeless or need tiny tiny homes. I'm so happy by seeing this. I'm from India and if one. Day i become a rich man, I'll definitely contact you for our people, so that you service can be even provided to our country.❤❤❤
What a great idea! I work in DT Toronto and am troubled by seeing people sleeping in the streets. This is a great alternative to tents and sleeping on the sidewalk. Hopefully the city of Toronto or other communities will enter into a partnership with this guy.
Years ago homeless who had medical issues were put in hospital type settings where nurses took care of them. But since Bob Rae said they have rights.... those homeless with medical issues are now free to check themselves out of care or decide themselves if they won't take their medication. Some then become violent and lose all sense of hygiene. I'm not sure a tiny house would help them or they would even use it. The tiny house would certainly work for those who regard this as a solution to emergency housing for one or two people and a temporary step until they gain their independence/job again.
This is phenomenal! Thank you, Ryan for your ingenuity and insight. It’s people like you who are leading the way in showing us how to make a difference… changing the world and how we treat each other. ❤
This is a good thing he has made for people. It is a safe and dry place to sleep. He is doing what he can to help during a seemingly unsolvable housing crisis. I believe the affordable housing crisis can be resolved, once the greed of landlords and the anti-affordable housing people stop fighting zoning laws. We are all human beings. We need to help people where we can.
Glad to see someone take the initiative to help the homeless? Are you aware that since 2000, Toronto has spent almost four billion dollars on the homeless?
Really loved hearing Ryan talking about his concerns and solutions - his care moves me. Good hearted guy to the core and putting his skills to work to make his solutions a reality!
Many people Tried this here in the United States. Some worked and some failed. I sincerely hope this works for you and your homeless population. They do deserve to be in a safe, clean positive situation. Peace and God bless you both.
It can work when those who want it band together and sit in the city/council mtgs until they get the zoning/legislation they want. People have the power. Just have to remember that.
Thank you JS. I actually checked into the tiny home after I saw it on your George Street video. My friend is homeless and I am willing to fund one for her but she is paranoid and would likely not use it. I wasted $200 on a cellphone so she could be contacted for housing which she threw away. The wait time for rent-geared-to income housing is 16 years. Maybe the streets-to-homes program is 18 months but like you said, if there is no way to contact them, they will fall off the list. Based on Olivia Chow's current rate of building affordable housing, it will take 150 years to house the 24,000 people on the list. My friend is so far gone, she is not applying for any assistance. I got a form 2 and the cops dragged her to the hospital but the doctor let her go because she insisted she was OK. Unfortunately the mentally ill have rights and my hands are tied. I have some ideas for the home design but I will contact Ryan directly.
It takes a lot to manage day-to-day living, a rooming house where meals are prepared, laundry is done and the residents have just a room to manage might be more accessible. Of course they still have to get along with others, pay rent, manage their own health care, that's the hard part. No easy answers.
@@lemondropkid6175 Yes, my friend's sister is also mentally ill but she has been seeing a psychiatrist for over 20 years and he was able to get her into a group home, St. Jude's. That took 5 years and the sister cooperated. My friend won't admit she is mentally ill.
@@wendylau our politicians have monstrously let the people of this country down. The only one with real plans to help is Poillievre. Vote Conservative.
This is a really cool idea and definitely better than living in a tent. One thing that worries me is that these tiny homes might be targeted by people who find it funny to tip them over and trap the person inside. I think it's essential to have more than one exit point. Even if the window were removable, it's not big enough for an average adult to crawl through. I hope a future build version will address that point.
@@RenaSunflash Also, might it be possible to have legs that could be put down, to increase stability (and maybe prevent tipping) when the unit is parked?
@@RenaSunflash this is his first prototype so it’s not going to be perfect. Like he said he is working on it for more improvement. Plus money is also an issue for him. Why not donate to him if you want him to improve on his built at least he is making an effort. What are you people doing but complain about it. Instead of complaining how about doing sheesh.
This is remarkable! God Bless Ryan for his initiative and care in regard to helping solve some problems of homelessness. Perhaps if churches and communities worked together to raise money for the units, it could help those in need. Homelessness is a very serious issue and many more of us need to be involved to help. God Bless you!!!❤❤❤
You would think that our government would be jumping at the chance to work with you in order to combat the homeless dilemma. You are brilliant. Congratulations.
Great Heart for sure. I'm sure if government did a pilot, and worked out some safety kinks, it would be a valuable tool. The thing I would worry about would be road safety, especially road rage. Great pilot, and if there under 10k, win win. Fund raising could cover some cost.
Many homeless have some money, we live near an encampment in Hamilton and many have camper vans they live out of they got cheap. Not to mention that these can be donated.
everybody should donate I am going to. I am on a limited income, a senior citizen. we all need to help this young man who’s thinking of others, safety, and health. A true angel.
i see a lot of these... And this is easily one of the most financially feasible and practical designs. Very well done. I'd love to see these go into production.
We need this in San Francisco. We enjoy much more mild year round climate, so heat isn’t a necessity. It’s one of the reasons our city has become a magnet for homeless from other areas. They flock here due to the climate. This guy has his heart in the right place, and I hope this becomes a very successful venture. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@danielgloverpiano7693 : Heat isn't necessary in San Francisco? I froze my butt off in a house in Sonoma County just 70 miles north of there that didn't have heat turned for the first couple of days.
@@carolhutchinson7763 Sonoma is actually a completely different climate. Even Oakland and Marin County are microclimates. I’m comparing SF to Toronto. One of the worst snow storms I’ve ever driven in was on New Year’s in Toronto. I honestly thought I was going to die! Worse than Ohio, where I grew up. I don’t think anyone would ever freeze to death on the streets of SF.
Love Ryan’s design - this would be a dream for many who choose the autonomy of a tent over the awful shelter system…this is safe and comfortable. Not sure about the bike for people with addictions however this could be easily modified…imagine this as a kit that someone could put together themselves - @Habitat for Humanity…what a project this would be!
If it had a U-shaped bar on the front, they could just walk it down the street. And/or a hitch that attaches to a regular or e-bike. It's not a tiny home, it's still a "tent" just a hard-sided one. Just like camping, any bathroom, washing, cooking, is done outside the shelter. But it's a secure place to sleep and lock up some valuables.
I love Ryan’s heart. I wish everyone was like him. The onl6 suggestion I will make is to install some sort of small composting toilet to make it a complete home. Thank you for caring, Ryan!
That’s awesome to see that there are forward thinking individuals who are able to put there talents into helping out the more unfortunate individuals who need help! Much respect to you! Keep on doing good!
In Australia we have special places in towns for homeless to shower in & use toilet facilities etc. They obtain a special key from the local council of the area to use.

The pod could be about 7' long with shelves on each side for belongings. 7' x say 4' x 4' = 112 cubit feet. Now take a room with an 8' ceiling like most are. Make it about 17' wide to allow for a 3' hallway for easy access. Think of how many you could get into just 1000 sq ft. In a large warehouse you could house literally thousands.
But how do you get addicts into treatment if they don't feel like it? You make possession illegal. But they don't get a record, they are just segregated. Oh....possession would entail testing positive for illegal drugs. And police would have the power to test people on the street if they suspected. Most are very easy to spot. In a few days entire downtowns could be swept clean of addicts and they would all be drying out in a place where there is no chance of drugs entering because everyone is searched coming and going and they aren't going anywhere for weeks. And they are kept busy with work programs while there so they can learn new skills. And they maintain their own facilities. Indoor growing could feed much of their dietary needs.
Because without treatment MOST WILL DIE of their addiction. Or get imprisoned for years at great cost to the taxpayer.
I agree, but who’s paying for it? I don’t think the average homeless person well, maybe they get a check just like the next person unless they get alcohol or drugs they should have some money I hope he says the next ones gonna be I doubt they have close to 10,000 for one, but you never know could be rich.
@@caroljohnston5677you should pay since you brought up money and also house a few drug addicts
@@caroljohnston5677 Our governments are spending millions of dollars for temporary housing for homeless folks. One of the options should be buying a parking lot and filling it with these 'tiny tiny' homes.
What a humble nice guy,love this,with a sink and possibly a small slow cooker you're pretty much good to go forever.
I absolutely love the compassion that has been poured into this.
Compassion but certainly needs more thought, this could cause more harm than help. Read my post.
@@pamelabennett4792 at least his intentions are good and he has started to do something about the fact that people are homeless and what he can help with that
Compassion doesn't solve an addict's issues!!
A suggestion for your next model: Put in a Rice Cooker with a steaming basket instead of a butane element. A rice cooker with steaming basket can cook an entire meal, (rice/bulghur wheat/couscous + steam vegetables + steam meat or hard boil eggs) AND it turns itself off when it's finished cooking. Much better for health, safety and likely less challenge for your power systems. A small crock pot would be good too...again it turns itself off.
@@uteschmid-jonesisresidenti9582 the power of the rice cooker
@@hollydamato3763 There are 12v 100W portable rice cookers. Might be a really good option.

Upgrade those and your good
What a great guy! He is using his voice, resources, and energy to help society. He doesn’t judge nor criminalize homelessness. May his tribe increase.
The city needs to provide spaces with portable toilets where people could park these overnight without getting into trouble. This guy is awesome and definitely needs to be sponsored and supported. Homeless people need help to get into some sort of shelter especially in the winter and this is a great intermediate solution.
Yes. Any of the carparks at shopping centers could, for a small fee, allow access to their toilets etc. A certain part of the carpark could be set aside for that; there however should be a time people have to leave their rented space of a morning.
@fatsab59 this could even have a solar panel on top so they could have a light or heater fan etc
They'll declare them not suitable for human habitation.
This is a prototype, and this is a great idea, Ryan ! Living in a tent is inhuman in an urban environment. I truly admire your project! ! Excellent work 👏🏻 👍🏻
@@fatsab59 God bless you for caring
Absolutely amazing. This gentleman deserves a Noble Peace Prize. I am sending prayers that this amazing concept takes off and helps thousands of people in need.
It’s a nice design, but there are MANY of these “mobile or stationary boxes” for the homeless, and people making them.
The hard part is always the land underneath…where can people leave them and live/sleep in them? Do they just use the bathroom “elsewhere?” How long can they stay in one spot, how many in one area? Those are the points where it starts to get hard and solutions are really tricky.
Very charismatic and well spoken gentleman showing off the tiny home. I really enjoyed listening to him speaking. I experienced homelessness back in October last year and feel it has forever changed me. The levels of pride and joy he has for his home is truly special. I’m very happy for him.
What a great idea Ryan! If more of us tried to find solutions instead of complaining the world would be a better place
The problem happens when people start to steal ideas and solutions from other people and hence depriving them of the much needed funding.
I think the problem with this world is that if there's no profit and to fill the pockets of executives that make the decisions, there's no chance they will help.
Very well executed.. the occupant will have to be organized which discounts the majority of homeless with drug/mental issues. As to materials used, don't kid yourself, it's not green for a variety of reasons. This is an e-powered travel trailer. It would need lots of insulation to be remotely efficient, where to drain the grey water, the weight of water and diesel. We wouldn't have the homeless problem in the first place if intetest rates weren't kept at rock bottom for 20+ years. I like his ideas but when reality comes knocking, we'll see.
in a capitalist society, the goal is not to make the world a better place.
Its to compete with each other to maximize profits.
Wealth is success, wealth is political influence and power... then we consider all the losers from that process as an after thought.
Kathy I appreciate the way you expressed the same way I feel. This project of Ryans is in a state of evolution from his recognition homeless people need safety to a viable tiny casa. Just think a year from now what it could be.😊😊
This guy is amazing! He has thought of everything and has done more than anyone! It is a great temporary solution to encampments. The City of Toronto should be 100% supporting him in this endeavour!
@@MaureenPetit-o1p I'll be surprised if Olivia can stop dressing up and dancing long enough to make any real impact as mayor.
And YOU paying THOUSANDS in property tax.

I would think Pierre Poilievre would also support this
@@Beachdawg1996 I think Pierre wants real actual homes for his Canadians. This is a great temporary measure for now while we dig ourselves out of the mess Trudeau has left us in.
Its nice to see someone showing care and thought towards his fellow human beings !! Too many people are wrapped up in themselves!!
Not bad, eh? Smart guy. I hope he succeeds! He has a clear vision and very humble attitude!

@@1BeautifulLilLady Manifested!😃❤️🙏🏻
Most people will feel bad for the homeless population, say "it's not fair" and "someone should do something", then they move on with their lives and don't do anything about it. Ryan clearly cares about people and he acts accordingly. The homeless crisis is huge in every city, Halifax has 11 tent cities. It used to be that homeless people were on drugs, but now they seem to be working full time and can't afford to live or even find a place. This is a great idea. Nice word, Ryan.
@@con-can571 More than 5k? Who is funding more than a few of these at that price?
Many people could change their own lives, many are capable, some are not. Why do places like that look like a garbage dump?
A lot of homeless people end up homeless again because they waste their money on drugs, and alcohol.
You'd be surprised how many people actually enjoy living in misery and filth.
I currently live in subsidized housing and hate living here due to so many neighbors and their FILTH!
They get a home that's almost free to rent and instead of appreciating it, what do they do? They turn it into Trash!
When I wasn't poor, I used to feel sorry for the poor in Canada, after becoming a single mother and becoming poor and living in poor neighborhoods, I stopped feeling sorry for most poor people in Canada(especially singles without children) cause many of them are thieves, users, filthy, selfish people that don't appreciate the help they get a lot of the times and turn everything into trash.
@@Fido-vm9zi Be careful what you say because you don't know what the future holds and there's always that 1 person who's negative and that would be you. 🙄 Some people may have mental issues and there's so many more reasons why people are homeless. It's about getting people out of the elements not about how they look, I think God that I have the life that I do and I would never talk down on the homeless.
Lol you speak for yourself? No one cares
More power to Ryan! Homelessness is something many of us feel so powerless to assist with other than donating money, goods, etc. Anyone trying to take concrete action to support folks who are un-housed until we can make systemic change has all of my respect. Everyone deserves to be housed, safe, secure, warm, have a bed, etc. Thank you for showcasing this initiative.
❤️❤️❤️Love this, would you be willing to share the blueprint with other communities
@@janetaskin2150 this is just prolonging his misery. Shame, I'd like to also point out how lawless and unruly homeless people are. This guy will be taken advantage of or will take advantage of others. This may be the worst idea ever

All my respect to this intelligent young man. With this kind of prototype there is no excuse for governments to help the growing homeless population in Canada. Congratulations !
I’m going to share with our County and City leaders.
Welfare doesnt pay enough for rent :( and It's hard to get a job now....
In my humble opinion, this is needed worldwide, everyone needs a safe place to be in. God bless everyone 🙏
YR RIGHT !!! EVERYONE DESERVES TO BE HOUSED, SAFE , SECURE AND WARM ... TYVM JUSTIN 😢😢😢
I'm impressed w your idea & creation. Thank you fr USA. I'm also very impressed with the cleanliness of the streets!
You are So inspiring....I, m 76 solo female...living in my 18ft Skoolie...converted into tiny home...All I can afford...its comfortable...but got hot this summer...used fans...have to use Mr.Buddy in winter...also have two burner Coleman stove...comfy bed....these are SO NEEDED...THANK YOU SO MUCH
Congrats and much respect to you for hanging in there and being independent!!❤
I’m a 69 yo solo on the other side of the pond, in my own home. Lucky. But lady you have a story to tell, now tell it. I’ve had some good luck and some bad but I’ve alway manage to hold on to my home that I bought in 1977 My kids (3) were born here and I’m not leaving until I’m in my box (preferably a woven willow withies one, as my family are a long line of basket makers), it’s my home, I love it. But you lady are having an adventure, enjoy. I admire you. ❤
God ever present blessing on you for your efforts and skills to help the homeless. May this be the answer that the government wants to sponsor by teaching it in our high schools. It will bring awareness to the students and also teach compassion and carpentry skills while giving a home for the less fortunate.
What about vandalism on the tiny homes. How does an owner prevent theft of the property.
Genius to take the motor off and continue on the path he's on. This could be a game changer for the homeless.
So Glad to see people caring so much for the homeless. I truely hope things will go great for your idea. I love it ! ❤
Ryan, if you could interview each person that receives a tiny home it would provide content for your site. Also ways to help your project.
There's no one, only a prototype. He's looking for investors.
@@daltonx6177 I could guess he's talking about when it happens to get interviews
Wow!!! This is amzing!! God bless him and all his works!!!❤
This would be great also just for a bike trip and camp stay at your local camp ground or lake/river
This is a wonderful idea. I especially love that the person not only has a home but transportation to work. That should help them get on their feet even faster.
May God bless this young man...what an honourable thing to devout his time to.
Ryan is an amazing human being. I hope Tiny Tiny Homes gets tremendous support and takes off!
This is a heartwarming, inspiring and thought provoking project! I hope Ryan receives all the support needed to continue his work. His daughter can be very proud of her dad!
Wow! I went and donated right away. I hope a lot of cities get involved. Way to go Ryan.
@colleene Love you for that. You are awesome! Thank you for your kindness. We need MORE of people like you.
Saddens me that this is necessary.
But then, what a wonderful project to help society. A dignified space. You are a fine young man to have this vision and execute it. Good luck.
Cheers to Ryan for his heart and initiative to make a difference in lives. He is one person with the skills and knowledge of a single person. Many of the encouraging comments here along with suggestions are perhaps things he has not yet considered. Don't tear him down but offer to brainstorm and make this an even better product. He deserves a lot of credit being part of the housing solution.
I pray you have great success! The homeless need this. God speed!
Now that most of the world is or will be homeless we are all going to need more of these homes. As people are living in there cars.
I’m so proud of Ryan. What a wonderful individual. He is running a mini habitat for humanity. We need more people like him in the world. We are so blessed to have him as a fellow Canadian❤
I also am so heartened to see someone who cares enough to actually DO something. The heart, the effort that went into building this structure-KUDOS TO YOU SIR! Thank you for highlighting his efforts. Now we just need someone with the same heart and the ability to finance his efforts!!!!❤😊
Hey, JS! It's wonderful of Ryan to build these mobile homes for the homeless. Kudos to you for bringing awarenesss of these homes by featuring in a video. Thanks, JS. 😊
This was heartfelt. All peoples deserve to be housed. Governments have lots of money for useless wars, and help for other countries in need. How come they "never have the funds" to take care of their own citizens? I hope one day, I never have to see anyone sleeping in the streets on cardboards, tents, undergrounds, benches, and many dangerous places. This goes for homeless animals like: dogs, and cats. 😪😢
Especially wen the government gets its money from the citizens!
Outstanding sentiments.😊
Ukraine isn't useless. If you know how geopolitics works you'll understand. The real problem is the billionaires and capitalism.
@@alexv1190 My comment is about homelessness in our own backyards, and governments always having funds to support ALL useless wars, but not to help the needy. Yes, they benefit the billionaires, (military industrial complex) and the governments that order those wars. Does it benefit the regular soldier that fights those wars? NO! The soldier that survives, gets a Medal. The one that dies, comes home in a box (whole or in pieces). The family gets a Flag, and a Medal as a "Thank you for your Service"... The root of the problem starts with Our Governments, that gives our tax money to billionaires to 'play' with... Capitalism is the name of the game, masking as: "They're fighting for our freedoms".
Wow! He has a big heart! Please support him. He needs donation too to kick off his program. Everyone needs a home.
Wow its amazing this world needs more people like Johnny, what a great concept
Some people choose something like this. I love tiny spaces and this makes my heart happy.
Wow, what a genius idea! Ryan's innovative tiny tiny homes are not only practical but also show such compassion for those in need. This could truly make a positive difference in many lives. Kudos to him for taking action and inspiring others!
I hope that this will temporary solve many people's life, Ryan is such a genuinely nice person
May God Bless this man and everything he puts his hands to.
You gotta admire anyone that’s trying to help make a bad situation better. Best of luck to this humanitarian.
Wishing you all things positive as the tiny, tiny home becomes hopefully viral!
This is awesome and sad at the same time. Awesome for it being a solution to many homeless people. Sad that something like this is needed in today's society.
Exactly 👍🏻 I’m heartbroken watching this wonderful young entrepreneur make something viable when the city just seems to dance around the issues. The shelters don’t really respect the clients. The food is crap. Instant skim milk, tongue sandwiches, served by people who think you are worse than a dog 😢
Every single building going up should have 20% of the units subsidized.👍🏻💯
Absolutely. I was livid when I saw the Regent Park apartment I lived in 30 years ago auctioned off for almost a million dollars. I looked up the billionaire responsible for that crap. Vladimir Putin much?
Does anybody else remember when we used to have subsidised housing ?
@@xenabe4437 it's still there just really long wait list to get a place
Just being pragmatic, these would be ruined with meth residue in no time. It's very toxic and very hard to remediate.
I pray with all my HEART and soul that's something is done where these can be used. I help the homeless off and on through the '90s and 2019 everything was taken and I ended up on hard times myself. However I'm grateful for what I have and my small social security check.
I can't imagine being on the streets with eczema along with other health issues so I pray someone pays attention to this. Thank you for having the heart to do this.
WOW! AWESOME!! I could live/survive in that little space!! GREAT JOB!!
It’s admiral that this man wants to give dignity to others that are stereotypically denied it.
Admirable
My man Ryan ❤❤ Hats off my dear friend. Just wow. Its perfectly made for people who is homeless or need tiny tiny homes. I'm so happy by seeing this. I'm from India and if one. Day i become a rich man, I'll definitely contact you for our people, so that you service can be even provided to our country.❤❤❤
What a great idea! I work in DT Toronto and am troubled by seeing people sleeping in the streets. This is a great alternative to tents and sleeping on the sidewalk. Hopefully the city of Toronto or other communities will enter into a partnership with this guy.
Years ago homeless who had medical issues were put in hospital type settings where nurses took care of them. But since Bob Rae said they have rights.... those homeless with medical issues are now free to check themselves out of care or decide themselves if they won't take their medication. Some then become violent and lose all sense of hygiene. I'm not sure a tiny house would help them or they would even use it.
The tiny house would certainly work for those who regard this as a solution to emergency housing for one or two people and a temporary step until they gain their independence/job again.
This is phenomenal! Thank you, Ryan for your ingenuity and insight. It’s people like you who are leading the way in showing us how to make a difference… changing the world and how we treat each other. ❤
The is awesome. You are a true humanitarian. Everyone deserves a home. The government doesn’t care. I wish you massive success 🙏⭐️
This is a good thing he has made for people. It is a safe and dry place to sleep. He is doing what he can to help during a seemingly unsolvable housing crisis. I believe the affordable housing crisis can be resolved, once the greed of landlords and the anti-affordable housing people stop fighting zoning laws. We are all human beings. We need to help people where we can.
I’ve lived in the distillery since 2000 and I’m happy to see someone taking the initiative to help people without a proper place to live.
Glad to see someone take the initiative to help the homeless? Are you aware that since 2000, Toronto has spent almost four billion dollars on the homeless?
A wonderful human being for wanting yo help the homeless. Prayers for you both.
You could call it " BikeBox" , lol. God bless you 🙏, and I'm praying God will send you plenty of investors.
Ryan...... You're a wonderful human being... Well done and keep up the good work..! ❤
Awesome tiny home 🏡❤, Thanks for sharing this beautiful place. ✨❤. God bless. 🙏😍

Really loved hearing Ryan talking about his concerns and solutions - his care moves me. Good hearted guy to the core and putting his skills to work to make his solutions a reality!
Many people Tried this here in the United States.
Some worked and some failed. I sincerely hope this
works for you and your homeless population. They do
deserve to be in a safe, clean positive situation. Peace
and God bless you both.
It can work when those who want it band together and sit in the city/council mtgs until they get the zoning/legislation they want. People have the power. Just have to remember that.
Kudos for bringing awareness to Ryan’s wonderful idea and mission.
Great video.
End homelessness. Great idea. Go viral get support. Save lives.
Ryan you are amazing, I hope your idea takes off! Along with your kindness and concern for the wellbeing of others. Thank you!
This is amazing! I hope they catch on and replace all of the tents - everyone deserves a home.
Thank you JS. I actually checked into the tiny home after I saw it on your George Street video. My friend is homeless and I am willing to fund one for her but she is paranoid and would likely not use it. I wasted $200 on a cellphone so she could be contacted for housing which she threw away. The wait time for rent-geared-to income housing is 16 years. Maybe the streets-to-homes program is 18 months but like you said, if there is no way to contact them, they will fall off the list. Based on Olivia Chow's current rate of building affordable housing, it will take 150 years to house the 24,000 people on the list. My friend is so far gone, she is not applying for any assistance. I got a form 2 and the cops dragged her to the hospital but the doctor let her go because she insisted she was OK. Unfortunately the mentally ill have rights and my hands are tied. I have some ideas for the home design but I will contact Ryan directly.
It takes a lot to manage day-to-day living, a rooming house where meals are prepared, laundry is done and the residents have just a room to manage might be more accessible. Of course they still have to get along with others, pay rent, manage their own health care, that's the hard part. No easy answers.
@@lemondropkid6175 Yes, my friend's sister is also mentally ill but she has been seeing a psychiatrist for over 20 years and he was able to get her into a group home, St. Jude's. That took 5 years and the sister cooperated. My friend won't admit she is mentally ill.
I hope u were able to contact Ruan ... Sorry about ur friend! You tried to help them...
@@wendylau our politicians have monstrously let the people of this country down. The only one with real plans to help is Poillievre. Vote Conservative.

What a wonderful thing he is doing! There are so many things for him to think about - he's very very smart.
Ryan is such a kind hearted person!
This is a really cool idea and definitely better than living in a tent. One thing that worries me is that these tiny homes might be targeted by people who find it funny to tip them over and trap the person inside. I think it's essential to have more than one exit point. Even if the window were removable, it's not big enough for an average adult to crawl through. I hope a future build version will address that point.
@@RenaSunflash Also, might it be possible to have legs that could be put down, to increase stability (and maybe prevent tipping) when the unit is parked?
Is the window in the front not fairly big?
@@RenaSunflash If possible, it would also be nice to include a toilet w/small shower (wet area) or at least just a toilet.
@@RenaSunflash this is his first prototype so it’s not going to be perfect. Like he said he is working on it for more improvement. Plus money is also an issue for him. Why not donate to him if you want him to improve on his built at least he is making an effort. What are you people doing but complain about it. Instead of complaining how about doing sheesh.
@@kyrataylor2035 It looked like he had a bucket under the bench that could be used as an emergency toilet.
This is remarkable! God Bless Ryan for his initiative and care in regard to helping solve some problems of homelessness. Perhaps if churches and communities worked together to raise money for the units, it could help those in need. Homelessness is a very serious issue and many more of us need to be involved to help. God Bless you!!!❤❤❤
You would think that our government would be jumping at the chance to work with you in order to combat the homeless dilemma. You are brilliant. Congratulations.
Maybe, maybe not. There is a lot of people making money off of the homeless issue.🎉
I wish this man well his heart is in the right place i am worry of the cost that is why there are homeless thanks johnny for having him on
Great Heart for sure. I'm sure if government did a pilot, and worked out some safety kinks, it would be a valuable tool. The thing I would worry about would be road safety, especially road rage. Great pilot, and if there under 10k, win win. Fund raising could cover some cost.
Many homeless have some money, we live near an encampment in Hamilton and many have camper vans they live out of they got cheap.
Not to mention that these can be donated.
This is just an amazing amount of work that went into this. Propz to Ryan and thanks Johnny for sharing.
This is going to be a game changer for homeless people. There’s so many possibilities with it. Well done Ryan.
everybody should donate I am going to. I am on a limited income, a senior citizen. we all need to help this young man who’s thinking of others, safety, and health. A true angel.

I'd love to see these go into production.
We need this in San Francisco. We enjoy much more mild year round climate, so heat isn’t a necessity. It’s one of the reasons our city has become a magnet for homeless from other areas. They flock here due to the climate. This guy has his heart in the right place, and I hope this becomes a very successful venture. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@danielgloverpiano7693 : Heat isn't necessary in San Francisco? I froze my butt off in a house in Sonoma County just 70 miles north of there that didn't have heat turned for the first couple of days.
@@carolhutchinson7763 Sonoma is actually a completely different climate. Even Oakland and Marin County are microclimates. I’m comparing SF to Toronto. One of the worst snow storms I’ve ever driven in was on New Year’s in Toronto. I honestly thought I was going to die! Worse than Ohio, where I grew up. I don’t think anyone would ever freeze to death on the streets of SF.
Love Ryan’s design - this would be a dream for many who choose the autonomy of a tent over the awful shelter system…this is safe and comfortable. Not sure about the bike for people with addictions however this could be easily modified…imagine this as a kit that someone could put together themselves - @Habitat for Humanity…what a project this would be!
Yes, the kit idea is a good one to avoid lawsuits.
If it had a U-shaped bar on the front, they could just walk it down the street. And/or a hitch that attaches to a regular or e-bike. It's not a tiny home, it's still a "tent" just a hard-sided one. Just like camping, any bathroom, washing, cooking, is done outside the shelter. But it's a secure place to sleep and lock up some valuables.
@@maryharrington8983 Good idea! I agree a rickshaw type of ‘option’ should be available on this.
I love Ryan’s heart. I wish everyone was like him. The onl6 suggestion I will make is to install some sort of small composting toilet to make it a complete home. Thank you for caring, Ryan!
That’s awesome to see that there are forward thinking individuals who are able to put there talents into helping out the more unfortunate individuals who need help! Much respect to you! Keep on doing good!
In Australia we have special places in towns for homeless to shower in & use toilet facilities etc. They obtain a special key from the local council of the area to use.
Thanks for share the work of Ryan! Blessings !
What a beautiful thing to do by a beautiful man. God has touched his heart and God will help him fulfill his dream. God bless him❤
