When the end of World War Two brought on a housing crunch decades ago, Canada created a catalogue of homes that could be constructed quickly. It worked. Now, faced with a housing crisis again, we’re bringing that post-war catalogue back – with a new set of modern blueprints.

Citizens struggling to access safe, affordable, dignified housing (the homeless), when asked if they would live in a #MicroHome, the response 99% of the time is “Fuck ya!”. The other 1% respond with "Hell ya!" #yyccc #ableg #cdnpoli #homelessness #dignity

Politicians are running out of excuses on #homelessness: 3D printed 400-square-foot homes businessinsider.com/tiny-hom… #affordablehousing #microhome #tinyhome #youth #poverty #yyc #yeg #yyccc #ableg #cdnpoli @homes1st @MicroHomeCanada

These 400-square-foot tiny houses in a village for the homeless were made by a 3D printer — see...

THEY WON’T SAY IT. STASH WAS ABUSED. The excuse for dumping her: a “human” is suddenly allergic after 4 years. She’s terrified, cowering; has an untreated UTI. Now without her pledges via @TomJumboGrumbo they’ll kill Stash #81743 Thursday PLEASE RT STASH! newhope.shelterbuddy.com/Ani…
