2018 Microhome Design/Build Competition

[MicrohomeDesignBuild @MicrohomeDesign]

Ironically, #1 obstacle to ending homelessness is government.

#2 obstacle is #PovertyInc.

Municipal zoning discriminates against the poor.

#PovertyInc refuses to hold Gov responsible bc you can’t bite the hand that feeds you.

@invisiblepeople Hi Chad!

@naehomelessness Stop prioritizing making privileged people happy about projects & bringing them to tears.

Start prioritizing making the homeless & vulnerable happy.

When you have no shelter, modest accommodations are a castle.

Tiny homes are a great idea & a great innovation. They can easily replace "trailer parks" with affordable housing. They are not only for the homeless, many Millenials are attracted to the minimalist concept. A bit of a policy minefield & NIMBY, but worthy it #yyc #yyccc #ableg

@UniteAlberta @North_Resists Really?!
The point is to open your mind & not just accept things as they are just because they've always been that way.

What colour cats are you?

@KamalaHarris @donnlovett Build microhomes. Paid off with one year of rent. #uspoli

[MicrohomeDesignBuild @MicrohomeDesign]

$300,000/unit for each homeless person is hardly "much more efficiently". If we're serious about addressing social issues, we require innovative approaches. #ableg #yyc #yyccc #poverty

@770CHQR I question this statement: "...but they ended up in a system that spent the existing money much more efficiently.” #yyccc #yyc

[Grow Calgary @GrowCalgary]

@RESOLVEyyc @homelesshub Here's a cost analysis of microhomes vs traditional approach taken by Govt/Foundations. We're building #Microhomes for $3000/unit -$10,000/unit. Govt spending $300,000/unit. We build 30 units to Govt/Fdn's 1. #HomesWithHeart #yyc #ableg #cdnpoli

MicroHomers helping build homes for #homeless at under $3000/unit vs Govt/Foundation's $300,000/unit. We're building 100 while Govt builds 1. #UNHRD70 #Article25 #FoodShelter @BuildingHopeAB #SnackInTheShack #yyc #yyccc #ableg #cdnpoli
