A Louisville organization is working to build dozens of tiny homes in the Portland neighborhood to address homelessness in the city.Meg Stone, the board president of Jacob's Ladder outreach, says their organization is working to combat the issue."We know that we have a terrific homeless problem here in Louisville," Stone said.The nonprofit plans to turn a plot of land in the neighborhood into a supportive living environment for the chronically unhoused, including veterans. It'll be called Eden Village of Louisville.It's an initiative that started in Missouri.Stone says they're planning to build tiny homes for people with physical or mental disabilities on the property on North 35th Street."They can stay here forever if they choose to. Some people, it might be a stepping stone because maybe they've been trying to get a job and they don't have a place to shower, change their clothes," she said.The group has plans to build 35 tiny homes on the more than 7 acres of land. Jacob's Ladder says this is more than housing; it's building a community."We want to get people used to being social, used to working with others, creating friends," Jerry Fischer, Jacob's Ladder Louisville project manager, said.He says they also envision building a park and community garden for the entire neighborhood, which would create more opportunities for neighbors to meet and interact with people on the campus.Fischer says there are also plans to provide more support and resources for those who move in."They'll have a team of people, one to three people that will be trained, and they'll volunteer and they'll come in and they'll work with those individuals and get them acclimated to living in a home," Fischer said.Stone says they're still in the early stages of securing funding to buy the property, but she says this is the beginning of a project expected to change lives."This is not the answer to all the people living on the street. It's just not. But it is a step forward," Stone said.For more information about the project, click here.
