A non-profit in Florida is addressing the lack of affordable housing with a 50 home community of smaller homes making it easier for those below the median income to live close to their work.
The affordable housing nonprofit HabiJax unveiled its new west Jacksonville community of 50 small houses available to rent to low-income residents referred to the nonprofit by social service agencies.
These tiny houses have about 500 square feet of livable space and are intended for up to two occupants rather than a full family.
Residents are expected to pay for utilities, excluding water, and pay a monthly rent that’s adjusted according to their income.
