The Low Income Housing Institute opened Cloverleaf Tiny House Village in Seattle's South Park neighborhood on October 27, KOMO reported. LIHI described it as the organization's newest and largest tiny-house village. It holds 90 small houses.
Each one is a separate front door in the neighborhood, a place a person can stay in rather than a cot in a shared room. The opening was about those houses and the people who will live in them.
For the classroom
A new village of small houses opened in the South Park neighborhood of Seattle. The Low Income Housing Institute built it and calls it Cloverleaf Tiny House Village. There are 90 houses, and LIHI says it is the group's newest and largest village of this kind. Each house is a place with a door, not a bed in a big shared room. The village opened on October 27. The point of the houses is simple: people have a small home of their own in the neighborhood.
