- A Calgary-based company is building tiny homes to help military veterans who have struggled with homelessness. The homes will be grouped as a "village" to create a community of peers with a structure designed to meet individual needs, according to construction company ATCO.

from a veteran, i want to say thank you for taking care of my brothers and sister.
Thank you for your service :-)
Thanks for your service
I think Whoever thought up this idea of building tiny homes for the homeless and the veterans should get the biggest medal that anyone ever created what is a sweet and wonderful gesture it does my heart good do you know these people will not be out in the freezing cold or when it's a hundred and twenty degrees out God bless you and I mean God bless you
I don't understand how anyone could push the thumbs down button. These men and women put their lives on the line for this Country. By asking them to pay a small fee(I hope it's extremely small) it allows them to maintain self-respect.
So proud of you giving back to your vets. We need to get the US to look into this
Amen. The only thing acceptable for these would be temporary housing while they find our vets real size housing.
@@kikistar125 yes, they DO deserve a lot more, but it's about time they got something. This is a start. Kudos to Canada. Wake up United States!
kikistar125 it helps the get back on there feet it’s not a full time home, and they’re really nice
I think veterans deserve big homes!!
SunnySinclair1979 SAME
Those homes are cute. Wouldn’t mind having one myself. That size is all I need.
How true are your words,it would work for me also. Have a good one Maxine F and All.
Facts
Nice! I’ve been watching several videos on these tiny homes for vets all across the USA glad to see it’s also in Canada
Ty for helping this vets they deserve alot more my son is active duty I hope he gets treated well when he gets out
Would be awesome if neighborhoods of tiny houses became part of our culture.
Oh ya real awesome. We get to live like dogs, while oligarchs live in mansions. You people are sickening and so unaware of whats going on it is unreal.
Marty McLochlin ya I agree
Edit : what I mean is you bets deserves a lot and the s is a privileged snob
Really nice set up. This is what affordable housing should look like period!
No affordable housing should be full size not glorified dog houses. Give these to single mothers on welfare who get knocked up to collect the dole, give these to "immigrants". Dont give these to our brave guys and gals who put everything on line in pointless foreign wars that serve our country in no purpose. They deserve real housing.
@@martymclochlin4836 That's why I said affordable housing meaning for everyone. When you visit large countries like the U.S. for example, "government or low income housing" is run down and disgusting. What's depicted in the video at least is a good start for anyone to feel better about themselves. I agree Veterans deserve way better but in this age of Tiny Homes a beautiful studio isn't bad at all. I'd live there.
These tiny homes are beautiful.
This is beautiful, thank you.
Great initiative.
These look even smaller than the ones built for the returning WWII veterans in the Killarney area of Vancouver. There were many of these in Killarney, SE corner of Vancouver.
Thank you #Atco
Loving this project.
I’m so happy these men and women need it
I have seen similar vet ups but man I really like the layout on these. thank you for helping the vets !
They should have land around them. Each person gets a patch for a garden. Vegetables, fruits, nuts, flowers. Get their hands in the dirt. That is a fantastic calming influence.
**GARDENS**
This is great!!!
Love this idea! These homes are so attractive & light and have everything needed. I hope this project expands across Canada.
Excellent
I love it, if possible in the future they could provide a " bedroom" or some separation
Interiors are nice and cozy looking. I wonder if anyone is doing something like that here in the United States?
Yes a young man named "Elvis" he wears a mohawk,(seriously speaking) he fabricates these tiny homes in Los Angeles CA. N delivers them on site where the particular homeless person or couple dwells. I found it on UA-cam. Have a good one EcClair Mayo...
I like these homes for the vets
This is great
This is exactly my idea!! No joke!!
lol that’s bigger than the apartment i’m at rn
I love this why not build them across country. No more homeless vets . buy a piece of land each city make mini subdivisions. Then send someone to find how many homeless vets their are then build them a home
congratulations. very nice project.
good move ! It's about time.
These are needed in cfb edmonton
Every CFB needs them
This is a good thing
This is fantastic news! #AffordableHousing
So cute and comfortable
No one willing to take a bullet to defend Canada’s way of life should be homeless.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS ALOT UF US GAVE OUR LIVES FOR COUNTRY WE DESERVE OUR COUNTRY'S SUPPORT DURING WAR AND AFTER WAR.. BUT ATLEAST SOMETHING IS BEING DONE FOR OUR HOMELESS VETS!!! LONG LIVE U.S.M.C!!
Its being done in Canada and it needs to be copied by the U.S. government
NEVER OBEY you volunteered to give your life for some third party war-
@@Rooted_Locs yes i did.. But i thought it was for my country's safety and freedom. It took me a few tours to iraq Afghanistan and other places for me to open my eyes!! BUT HONESTLY I LOVED IT THE U.S.M.C MAKES YOU A MACHINE.. THE ONLY THING I REGRET ABOUT IT IS THE LOSS OF COUNTLESS BROTHERS AND SISTERS I LOST IN COMBAT.. I MADE IT WITH 4 BROKEN RIBS THANK GOD!!!
NEVER OBEY glad you made it out alive man. Hopefully you were able to re-establish some form of normalcy after all of that
My country, my country you're black how canada is you're country ? Mr 2pax
this is litterally my idea for the longest, i made a campaign for this a very long time ago, raised no dollars for many years and now its here, i cant believe it happened,
Wonderful news. I am big defender of tiny affordable houses for those that want or need them. Most house rents are WAY to high for single people, like me, fortunately my parents understood my situation and helped my pay 50% of my bank loan, allowing me to pay nearly 50% less had I been paying rent and not bank loan
Where can I get the blueprints for this/these house(s)?
I think its so awesome they were built for less than 50k......we should have this as an option for people who can't afford to buy in todays real estate! Where can you buy them? ATCO?
Why doesn't the government take that 2bill Chrysler payout and build more than 25 units. Also that tiny home looks like house goals to me (seeing as to how no one can ever afford anything anymore in this country)
Exactly. Thats what it is. Social engineering. Oligarchs live in their mansions, while our vets live like dogs. This is just insulting. And we wonder why our military is severely understaffed.
This is a private initiative, no direct government involvement. The Mustard Seed is a non-profit charity, working with a corporate sponsor. Just fyi'ing ya.
@miniimufin: It's a charity that's building these homes and community, not the government.
@@retnavybrat i know...but i was just thinking with the money they spend bailing out corporations, the government itself could get involved and continue the initiative...for vets, and others in need etc.
@@Rooted_Locs Same thing here in the States. We waste so much money on things that shouldn't even be the federal government's responsibility and our vets pay the price.
Nice!
next need to make a couple slitely bigger for a homeless veteran + his family
Do you charge a percentage for these homes for Veterans as well?? Or how kich from their checks monthly? I'm a disabled veteran at well
WHAT CITY IS THIS ???
❤️ December 22, 2019 ❤️
Oh wow.
Why can't I buy these?
Because then real estate agents would be out of a job.
@@bok.. lol. 26$ of commission per home
Yea there no way to take advantage of inflated values when you have a fixed cost for production. This happened back when suburbia became a thing, cheap mass production housing. Come 50 years later that same house is worth 10x that amount alone, not to mention land value on top of that. The current housing market is over-inflated and is prone to collapse.
U can
Why the V roof? Loss of space, energy and the snow and ice weight in winter. Totally BS. Appreciate the idea though.
The V roof can make a small space feel much larger, especially for folks who may suffer with depression and PTSD, and some of the issues that can accompany PTSD (claustrophobia, etc.)
I don't think that's true at all.
Praise be to God for this...!
I hope this is permanent for them.
Why not to sell them to people in canada. What about communications?
Cost 10 bucks per square ft per month .
Why wasn't this thought of and done decades ago ? .. a roof over one's head after putting life and limb on the line for the country is really all one could ask for.
i like free stuff too
It's not free, the vets do have to pay rent (albeit at below market rate).
If there's any time homeless need food, direct them to a sikh temple called a 'gurdwara' they have open kitchens every day.
You go into pray, can sit as long as you like and then head to 'langaar' room to eat.
Everyone is welcome
You dont get that in Singapore
I don't care about vets. Homeless vets & regular homeless is the same to me.
I do not understand this. How can a veteran go homeless? They could handle the responsibilities of being a soldier but fail in real life? Why not stay in the military?
Why should they be singled out and get free accommodation. It reflects badly on them. Veterans have taken part in illegal invasions of other people's countries. They knew the risks when they signed on that dotted line. They do not deserve charity. Let the government who sent them overseas take care of them. The above gesture is admirable but naive as they are not prioritizing on who deserves these accommodations. This is not fair.
What's next? accommodation or collections to help former millionaires who lost everything on the stock market? How about helping the victims and homeless of the countries the US government's illegal invasions? That is a noble cause.
I don’t understand how veterans are homeless !? They almost lost their lives for us and they are homeless … wtf!!!
Maybe if we could get scientists to genetically modify people to be very tiny ( pea sized) we could afford to live in this world?
free dumbs
What’s wrong with those people who down voted? Just sayin’.
See how horrible socialism is. Evil evil
This was a private initiative, not government.
