Artist In Santa Rosa Builds Tiny Houses For Homeless

http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/11/28/artist-in-santa-rosa-builds-tiny-houses-for-homeless/

A Santa Rosa artist has gone above and beyond when it comes to helping the homeless, designing and helping to build a group of miniature shelters for those in need....

“I just saw everyone out on the street, in tents, and being pushed around and I said, ‘What would be a step up from a tent that would give someone dignity?'” asked Wallin....

The miniature houses have storage, windows and — perhaps most important — a lock on the door....

They don’t know where yet, but the vision is to place all ten shelters together, with a porta potty and trash bin, on some willing persons property and hope the city will be willing to bend its zoning rules a bit.
