Building homes for the less fortunate is one selfless act. These Seattle teens went out of their way to create tiny shelters for those in need. Thanks to them, more people have a place to live and survive for another day. Learn about their amazing story.
Nickelsville comprises a network of self-governed homeless encampments on city-sanctioned land throughout Seattle. They are transitional communities, and their inhabitants move every three to 18 months. As a result, the homes and other structures that Sawhorse teens build have to be mobile. Following their successful crowdfunding campaign last year, Sawhorse Revolution has launched Impossible City 2: youth-built homes for homeless.

The Parabay Homes duplex design acknowledges that families can’t always squeeze into 120 square feet. So last summer, students conceived a design that expands the space with two separate structures, yet facilitates connection between family members in their respective sections. Another design will make it more comfortable for the camp residents who staff a 24-hour security booth that also acts as an entrance and hub in each village.

According to Sawhorse Revolution, Seattle has approved six camps to provide transitional housing for area homeless.
It's amazing to see how many young people came together for a good cause. These kids all wanted to help to make the world a better place! We're sure that the new owners of these tiny homes were incredibly grateful.

Such a good job and much needed. Many thanks to those fine young people.
The way real human beings act towards one an other show’s the reat of the world their true greatness.
I live 4 houses away from this exact tiny house. We call it the saw horse. It turned out beautiful! Andrew, have you seen this article? Not where I’d normally see an article referencing Nickeslville
Cool. I hope they don’t forget and burn em down after the next election doesn’t go their way…
Curious whose property are they going to sit on?
And no doubt, some darn “official” will come along and ruin a great thing.
This is actually illegal according to most municipalities. These tiny homes do not meet minimal home size requirements. I would love to see tiny home villages all over the country so people could feel a sense of community and invest in their areas.
Good humane idea !!but with crooked politicians they dont
Nice Job. I want one.
The politicians want money !!the crooked mofos !!
