Loose Associations: Tiny Homes in 18 Villages : A Framework

All In is a framework to end homelessness in Santa Cruz county and provide a model for other regions. As a framework, it provides a guiding goal and direction, an organizing principle, with details to be worked out by the people and agencies involved in its execution. The key elements of the framework are:

Distribute the responsibility for proving housing across jurisdictions.

Create one or more villages in each jurisdiction, responding to the unique needs of that community

Villages provide one house per person/family, following the tiny house design trend for green, sustainable, and affordable housing

Residents organize governance and upkeep of their village

Government and agencies work together to provide the tools needed for success: start-up and ongoing funding, social services, jobs.

Updates the message around homelessness. Emphasizes Santa Cruz’s innovative thinking, providing a high-technology, sustainable solution. And, because of our success, spread the concept to contiguous counties.
