[Occupymendocino] Tiny home village for homeless opens in Wisconsin

[Mark Safron]

Out of the Occupy Madison <http://occupymadisoninc.com/about/in-the-news-2/> protests a cool idea was hatched: Building <http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/12/27/1265535/-A-98-square-foot-home-of-their-own> 98-square-foot homes for those without. The homes have a bed, kitchen, bathroom, storage and propane heat. Future residents take part <http://www.takepart.com/article/2013/12/06/these-super-tiny-homes-were-built-homeless-homeless> in building the homes.
The homes cost just $3,000 to construct, most of it funded by community donations. A revolving crew of volunteers provided the labor, including Betty Ybarra. Previously homeless, she now resides in the home she helped construct. “It’s exciting. I’ve never even owned my own house,” Ybarra told WMTV
