They have traditionally attracted those planning on downsizing or looking to simplify their lives for financial or environmental reasons.

But there is now another group of people benefiting from the growing small-dwelling movement - the homeless.

Efforts to construct the compact buildings are growing across the U.S. because they are cheaper than a traditional large-scale shelter, help the recipients socially because they are built in communal settings and are environmentally friendly due to their size.

'You're out of the elements, you've got your own bed, you've got your own place to call your own,' said Harold 'Hap' Morgan, who is without a permanent home in Madison. 'It gives you a little bit of self-pride: This is my own house.'

Mr Morgan is in line for a 99-square-foot house built through the non-profit Occupy Madison Build, or OM Build, run by former organizers with the Occupy movement. The group, in Wisconsin, hopes to create a cluster of tiny houses like those in Olympia, Washington, and Eugene and Portland, Oregon.

Many have been built with donated materials and volunteer labor, sometimes from the people who will live in them. Most require residents to behave appropriately, avoid drugs and alcohol and help maintain the properties.


The group has already built one house in Wisconsin that is occupied by a couple and parked on the street. A volunteer moves it every 24 or 48 hours as required by city ordinances.

The house, which cost about $5,000, fits a double bed with overhead storage, a small table and a small room with a compostable toilet. There's no plumbing or electricity, but the home is insulated and has a propane heater to get the residents through the harsh Wisconsin winters.

Eventually, organizers want to add solar panels.

In my opinion though, here it is a hijack from the Mulege govt. relocation project topic.

Are you saying that, on the "how's the weather in your neck of the woods?" thread, all the Nomads that posted weather conditions in Cardif, Louisiana, Valley Center, Aptos, San Marcos, Oakland, Topaz Lake, Escondido, Oceanside, Yuma and San Diego should have started a new thread on the OT? Lighten up Tony.
