- This report by Innovation Trail reporter Jenna Flanagan introduces an Ithaca, N.Y.-area man who is trying to make a big impact on the homeless - one tiny house at a time.
Innovation Trail (innovationtrail.org) is a reporting project that aims to help the public gain a better understanding about some of the big issues that upstate New York communities are facing. Our reports focus on research, development, education, funding, and policy issues in emerging fields like energy, information technology, biotech, health and education. The project continues to explore the relationship between technological breakthroughs and the revitalization of upstate New York.
Our journalists are based across the region from Buffalo to Albany.
A great sense of pride and privacy, a place to sit during the day where no one kicks you out, and a chance to lay down if you're not feeling well. These are all things that are denied to a homeless person
Sit during the day? I would think given this opportunity these men would seek to become gainfully employed.
@pamelahomeyer748
Sitting around during the day is the reason they are homeless, they should be out at work.
A lot of people end up homeless after they become disabled. Lots of homeless people ARE ALREADY EMPLOYED! Sometimes it takes some time to get back UP to a place where gainful employment is possible. @@lovesilk1

Now that's the kind of tiny house for homeless program I want to see thrive and expand. I love it!
Michael Southard Right? Some programs just build a tiny shed and the people are still effectively homeless because they still spend their days looking for a toilet and a wash and food. To function in society and succeed at a job, you need to have these things in your home. This guy is the real deal!
Tiny homes are stupid and in most cases a scam. Building a single unit home will always cost more then an apartment building. There are 4 main parts in construction costs. Material, labor, plot and utilities a single unit uses more material because they don't share a wall or bearing structures, you have to use more labor because each unit requires finishing indipendedly like a roof and it costs more to transport workers from a site to a new site, utilities are cheaper because you don't need separate water, electricity, roads..., And of course since you can get more sqear footage the land is cheaper.
These only cost 15k to build???? Yet tiny house sellers ask for like 80k for something like this.
Jen Tuesday they have to account for time and labor when selling them. Some take a few months to build.
Kaitlyn Kilpatrick but yet alot of hard working people work 12 months to make less than $30.000 a year
Jen Tuesday thats normal, its called a profit margin. Its necessary for growth of this movement, theres also taxes and legal stuff. There have been cases in Los Angeles where the local government siezed mini houses because they weren't able to collect tax on them.
ShadowHunter120 Doesn't sound normal to me, seizing a tiny house like this because of taxes sounds rude and shortsighted. Let's call it like it is eh?
Will Trueman they don't care about being rude, they just wanted to eliminate anything that might be viewed as an alternative, cheaper solution to the problem that their housing project will supposedly solve (that conviently will also probably put $ in their pockets.)
WOW THIS MAN IS ACTION & NOT WORDS 😀
Governments can learn especially City of Los Angeles
Wish u could build me a place to live I am a homelass 57 year old woman I live on the streets it is safer then at the shelter I tryed and got abused the staff did not do nothing I stay in Aurora Illinois
@Taro Taro I do demolition for a living , what do you think , not like pushing a button for a living !!!
Amazing human being, just doing it to help people, not even for recognition, and he is a regular person, not a millionaire or political person, yet he is rich beyond material things. God Bless him! Thank you for helping out those in need.
Thank him,not God.
God bless him abundantly
True character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you.
Well done sir.
Thank you for your contribution to the community of people that need folks like you!
I want to hug this man for his kindness...
The government did this during the great depression . Why 'aren't they doing it now ??? Great need, especially in California .
@Terry Williams Ya, I know some for California, but California had taken them away (although in the end gave them back) because they were seen as a safety risk. Like having some form of shelter is safer than being on the street. I wish we could have more of these built.
johanna cannata because the last thirty years in the us has been a concerted attack on the idea of collective responsibility, the demonising of any idea that the rich should contribute to the welfare of others, and the further embedding of the myth that suggests wealth is accumulated according to work, ergo, if you are not wealthy, it’s your own fault. The poor are so bought into the myth that they vote against their own interests and for those who entrench wealth further
@@reasonrestored9116 Also in California the aid that is provided for the homeless is 70 thousand per person .The govenor has contracts and kickbacks with that money . While the homeless suffer ...Corruption . It is not that we do not provide money for them ,it is mismanagement and corruption .
Take that 70,000 per person allowance
Which will add up to multiplied millions each year;
And buy land and build hundreds of tiny 8x8 homes on each section of land with numerous community bathrooms and shower houses. Each home should have a heater up in the corner with a grate around it for safety. Be built out of concrete with windows and nicely painted walls to make sure these buildings are built to last in and each have a steel bed with room under them for totes, have a bed and dresser plus electric frying pan and crock pot.
Community gardens would be nice if possible. Absolutely no junk allowed outside. Remove junk daily.
Repeat this every single year and do this in every city.
No time limits. Don't kick them out so that the homeless problem continues.
Let them stay it's much cheaper and kinder and hygienic to not kick them back out to the streets.
Give each homeless person bags of rice, beans, flour, lintels, barley, oil, salt and pepper, peanut butter, butter and jam each month. They can also go to the food bank as needed or get grocery store vouchers for volunteering time to the gardens, up keep of the bathrooms and ground, shoveling walks, mowing grass and do forth.
All this would be so much cheaper in the long run than 70,000 per year per person and would actually keep all homeless people safe, dry and warm.
All can be kept out of the cold and have a safe place to sleep and belong and bathrooms and showers.
Even garden vegetables maybe.
All this woul
Why is there even a discussion about this? Best investment I can think of.
feliceluvsya1, governments like control. All of it. Over everything. Done correctly, grateful people are easier to control. Gov'ts aren't interested in _profit_, they're interested in money going into their pockets.
I agree. The problem is the government. The government doesn't care about the average citizen who has fallen on into homelessness. Hell, they don't care about proud serving veterans once they come home from duty that are on the streets.
State governments want homeless people so they can petition the US government for more money for them to embezzle.
May God bless this man for his acts of kindness.
Yoli River yes i always said if i won the lottery i would do this for the homeless.
Yoli River i
He will.

Amen! You are a beacon of kindness & humanity for all. I've been homeless before. Sadly these types of programs, & people with such love in your heart for people that most turn away from. I know they are more grateful than most could verbally say. Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration. Bless you
@Captain Fishgill Blame people/life/circumstances not God..your comments are pointless
These kinds of housing are larger than the typical Tiny Houses. And that's good. He's doing noble deeds.
What an amazing humanitarian! That is true kindness to do all he has for his community! God bless him and all that have helped these people get off the dangerous streets.
Some middle class folk might be interested in living in a tiny house this size as well. Great job you've done, and keep up the good work. Excellent!
Maybe if they got it free,instead they pay for these losers to live for free.
@@weemac4645 My point was that many middle class folks would rather not have the mortgage debt of a conventional home. It can cause a lot of pain for decades...Yes, some people are classified as losers. But I think it is important in life that at some point we show mercy to others without judging and/or condemning them. It can be difficult to show mercy once-in-awhile when some individuals caused their own demise. But in order for Heaven to release mercy upon us, we must show mercy: What we bind on Earth we bind in Heaven; What we loose on Earth we loose in Heaven. If I mess up pretty bad at some point in life, I surely would appreciate some mercy. But I would ask myself the question. Did I show any mercy to anyone such that I feel I deserve some mercy? We are not expected to rescue every "loser" as you call them. But can we show mercy for at least one of them?
@@monicapttrsn NO.
@@weemac4645 that definitely won't help your journey to heaven. Explain your reason to God.
@@debdowell8006 I'll explain my reasoning to the one true God, Brian.
You're doing more than the government is and homeless shelters and their staffs are just plain abusive and hateful. I'm sure the homeless appreciate all you've done
you write Rachel they are abusive shelters in their staff is just disgusting I know first-hand because I've been in plan f****** nasty this is a wonderful thing this guys doing at wish that this would have been around at the time for me and my family
Amira Blue.b I highly suggest you re-read my first comment before you respond to me
Rachel what are you talking about read my comment before I respond to you I read your comment I was agreeing with you read my comment
Amira Blue.b sorry. I recently stopped drinking coffee and only skimmed the message. Sorry
they are!!!! hateful and sadistic!!!!
There is kindness and greatness in this world.This great man shows us that.
My prayers go out to you and all that's trying to make a difference in this world. So awesome!!
Prayers are the Christians way of not helping.
@@weemac4645 Prayers arent just for christians.
He is a hero!!
A man of genuine care and means in which to utilize his care, to make his care a reality...
Phoenix Amazon - Excellent complete homes.
Thank you for your care shown to these homeless people. Giving them hope, security, dignity & a caring community.
Phoenix Amazon yuh
Phoenix Amazon Here in Florida where I live, it's fine as long as lt's not near my neighborhood, I try to get people involved but, I get the same answer, As long as it'd not in my neighborhood ___the state is crawling with homeless people coming here for the cold winter months.
This professional social worker is so happy to see this taking place. Way to go!
I'm not homeless ,but I would love to have one of these.. I have an apartment, but to buy one of these for $15,000 and just pay for utility would be awesome.
Just become homless to get one.
You're an idiot. There is more to owning/maintaining a property than simply paying the "utility bill". You deserve to be homeless for your ignorance.
@@Dahmer_Jeff I don't know anything about owning a home. What other things do you have to pay for?
@@bobo-kj6od property tax, gas, water, electricity, future repairs...be prepared to maintain the yard and shovel snow.
@@oldandeerie that's selfish of you. Back off, find a job and give the real homeless people a chance to boost their lives...I hate to see people like you take advantage of good people and situations you don't even fit in. This man is trying to help someone in need, not some who can help himself. You are selfish towards the person who's helping and towards someone who could really take your place. Smh
Im very pleased to hear that Second Wind helps single homeless men. Thumbs 👍 up to Second Wind, c/o Carmene Guidi. Men are people too!!!
Good for you. The world needs someone like you guys to give the less fortunate a helping hand when they are in need.
God bless you and everbody out there.
What a TRUE HUMANITARIAN... much RESPECT to this Gentleman... 😁👍
One serious problem from where I stand is those who that when they think of housing, immediately think of apartment buildings or 3-4-5 bedroom houses.
About 15 years back, my grandma, who was one of my favorite people ever, was going back home in another province.
I think she knew it was our last time seeing one another.
As she was walking out the door, she stopped and said, "David please learn to live with less".
I didn't understand what she REALLY meant for a few years, until watching a show on people buying homes in far away places.
A couple found the nicest house you could imagine in Costa Rica. It was beautiful and they loved it, until they got to the master bedroom, with 3 piece bathroom.
The master bedroom only had the space for a king bed, dresser drawers and end tables.
The husband was fine, but the wife was insanely upset that the bedroom didn't have the space for couches or a sitting area. The husband said they had this already and have never used it.
She broke the deal and walked away.
Thanks Grandma, I get it now.
Those with too much, wanting more space for things they'll never use,when the $10-20,000. they throw away on nothing, could build one or two tiny warm houses, on small private lots.
Special mortgages and everyone could have their own private homes and governments can get out of the housing business, where maintenance cost run rampant.
My wife and I need 1 bedroom and a small open concept living, dining and kitchen area, that's it.
Amen. so true.
Dr Why
Do u fuck standing up?🤯🦄😀😩👊💥❤️🥶
Bathroom
@@MrHAPPYHAWAIIAN - since your reading comprehension is apparently on the lower end of the scale, let me break it down for you...he said "bedroom" and "living, dining and kitchen" area. That's a bed, couch, table and counter top for four viable surfaces for copulating. Not to mention the floor. Even a small tub can be made to work. That's 5+ options that don't require standing. You're welcome.
D L
Come back to me in a year or two and let me know condition of interior and exterior of home.😁💀😳💩
This is great, God Bless! They mentioned women with children, however homeless women w/o children are also a vulnerable population. I'm going to check into this and see if I can provide some tiny homes to women in need around N. Virginia.
happyboss777 DONT I know you?
Women veterans with kids need help. Hundreds of programs and homes for men veterans.....yet only 3 NATIONWIDE that can help female veterans.
Heard middle aged women are the growing surge in homelessness, that many people don’t recognise. Many are hidden as they couch surf or live in friends garages, but since they did not have savings or superannuation once they are separated from spouses have nothing to fall back on, after focussing on raising families etc.
@@dianebrady6784 Cooks and cleaners don't count as veterans.
How does this happen in a land of plenty?! It is fortunate that there is a person like Carmen Guidi and others around who try to make a positive difference.
if the top 1 tenth of 1% paid what they truly owe like FICA tax on all earnings over one hundred twenty five thousand dollars, in math terms it’s BILLIONS of dollars -
the poor and underpaid people would not depend on table scraps from the rich, EAT THE RICH - old man mike bengyak
it is also the land of Big government and madd Liberels
Because the leftists put illegal aliens above US citizens.
For many, drugs and mental illness took them down that route.
We need to find some sort of corporate sponsor to help fund these types of projects. There is an INSANELY huge problem with affordable housing in California and it is only going to get worse over the next decade.
Hotsauce is Lethal .
i read ppl have to have a $8000/month job (before taxes) to afford to live in socal. gotta be stupid to live there lol. ridiculous prices bcuz theres so much supply of renters as its a major point of entry for mexicans.. thats how the prices went up in the first place. many would have a better standard of living elsewhere.
The problem you have with helping the homeless in Califonia with tiny homes is the government takes so long to approve building on the land. They had a $1200 tiny home project going for the homeless and the local government took those homes and put them in the garbage. The solution might just be to change who you are voting for poverty or freedom. Freedom normally gives you the power to help those in need.
Tell that to the piece of shit Jeff Bezos who just proactively INTERVIENED to STOP it from happening.
Hotsauce is Lethal .. that problem is happening not just in cali but everywhere in the US.
In the meantime the Democrats in charge of California put illegal aliens above US citizens. Illegal aliens use their anchor babies to access welfare programs such as section 8, WIC, food stamps etc etc etc. Keep voting them in office until they ran out of other people's money.
When people say things like, “money isn’t important,” I always think about how much we can do as a country if more people believed that it IS.
You can’t help others if you’re content with being poor/middle class and, “comfortable.” It’s the most selfish thing you can do. Kudos to this man.
"The measure you measure out... will be measured back...shaken down...overflowing"
Bless yr cotton sox you wonderful caring peep...Godspeed in all yr endeavours...
Just about every city in the US can build this type of system using recycled products or donated building materials plus donated land ,but just keep wasting government spending and money given to other countries ,the elderly sick or unfortunate,need help, makes me shake my head .
The 70,000 they take for each homeless person goes mostly to themselves. The motive to not get homeless people into tiny homes is huge.
Tens of thousands of these homes need to be built especially for females and their children
Who could dislike this? Smh
I been laid off from several jobs, depleted my savings trying to have a home. Then I had to go on disability. Currently living as a "seniorsitter" in her home, her family, well to do, hardly bother with her, have room for her in their homes, don't want her there, don't want to take turns watching her. That's where I come in. When she goes to nursing home or dies, I have a younger friend who will let me live with his family, I have half my belongings there now. Grateful for that. Wish I had something of my own. I have to live under rules of others. My friend has his girlfriend, two young kids, which like me, but the kids are 2, the other 3, they are very unkept home life. So I have to live under those conditions. When I had my own place, very well kept apartment. If I could get one of those tiny homes, all I need,want. My physical condition, small would be within my ability to keep it clean and orderly.
God Bless you . I hope that happens for you.
@Dan Clark
U can actually own one. Just keep looking into it here on CZcams. There are lots of videos regarding tiny homes here on CZcams. There's even a tiny home community on here at CZcams also.
Can also check out tiny homes thru Google. Prices do vary. The good thing about tiny homes is that they are way more cheaper than most residential homes that cost over $300,000 dollars. Plus the tiny homes come with wheels so U can have them moved or relocated just about anywhere. Another good thing about tiny homes is that built-in solar panels and propane tanks help to save money on monthly Utility payments. With these 2 items, U won't have to pay for monthly utilities. Also just a heads-up, tiny homes are categorized as a RV so if U want to own one, by State Law, the property or land must be atleast within a 1,400 square feet all around. If in case U don't own a piece of property or land, U can check up on Google for cheap properties but make sure the property or land accommodates the 1,400 feet. There's also websites for tiny home loans that U can look into. As far as paying back the loan, the payments are pretty cheap and U can also request an extension on the loan. There's also website links on the tiny home CZcams channels that will guide U on how to file taxes for your tiny home or even how to turn it into a business. Anyways, look into it and hope this information helps out some 4 ya
You are a real gentleman
to do this the homeless.
no one should be homeless in America.
God bless you sir...
The first village, since you have a big yard, grow your own food.
All areas should have these homes somewhere in a city or community. Thank you to this man who has helped so many.
Good job!My town,Greenville,sc has a shocking number of homeless people that live in tents under a bridge.It's shocking a city with hundreds of Mcmansions ignores these people.There are a few shelters and a soup kitchen and yet we still have a tent city.Why?I wish I knew what to do.
john ball DONATE,,, or START YOUR OWN WAY OF GIVING LIFE “ BACK TO OTHERS
I would love to see something like this here in the UK, the western nations have alot to answer for in regard to homelessness in the 21st century.
I was an airforce brat...we lived in tiny houses all of the time...two adults and four kids...it’s doable!
He is a gentle giant! Thanks for helping these poor people! The Gov't. in California is not doing enough to help people on the streets.
I think that's great God bless the one building these homes for the homeless .
God bless God for all his help.Amen.
NEED MORE OF THESE.....Good Job this is a Big Help for sure....Good Bless those that are helping the Homeless !
We should help one another I would it hurt me when I see people surfeing

Amazing development; amazing man. Yes, if I were in that situation, I would love to live in a tiny home.
Or an even bigger house with a pool.
I too would like to live in a tiny house especially if I don't have to pay property taxes or high rent.
This is wonderful. God bless this man for his caring heart and his vision for helping the homeless.

This is the only men-only shelter programs I have ever heard of. There are tons of women's shelters, no men's shelters. 80% of the homeless are men, and there is little help for them. Thank you for doing this. I wish I could help.
At lest something is being done for the homeless there.
deloris nakiso , no just a few ton homeless live behind local Walmart in tents
What you mean at least something being done for homeless there?...Did you hear them say they have 40 area shelters...thats a lot of shelters...most are filled forist with the women who have children as it should be, he said only about 12 live in the tents, only 30 are on the list for a tiny house. Anyone can give or build a home on the property to help any time it moves them so get busy helping today!!!
Truly God has touched his heart❤🕊🕆 Great job!
what is all this god stuff ? do we pee on the devil when any wrong is done ?
Smitty You pathetic believer in iron age foreign folklore.
Every state needs these
Back in '82-83 I had a dream about little on homes for families....I could just never get the money to see it through. God showed me my dream coming true through you. Thank you out.
Most of us are limited by zoning laws, city limitations. Sad.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I pray that I'm able to do this very soon... Also, for our veterans.
Veterans are war mongers, get the opinion of Jesus before this venture.
Good man, we need more people like him in this world
A true Man of Honor and Dignity. Just plain old good work Brother. Bob from Philadelphia.

@@oxydk Please don't call her stupid.
I think they can get donations like used appliances and other stuff. A small electric cooktop will cost less than the full stove, and of course volunteer builder or helping hands to cut down costs. I did see some throw away containers being switched into a house, tiny but it works
Thank you to everyone helping the innocent homeless people. And I would love a tiny home. The American government needs to give out free tiny homes to every single American who needs a tiny home.
God bless you
A lot of good that will do,check history other than the bible.
u r the best God bless u bro

Brilliant solution to the homeless crisis! Well done! This is wonderful to see the efforts made to solve the housing crisis and to provide shelter for those in need. Changing this crisis, one tiny home at a time! God's blessings on the people who are working hard to make these homes available to the homeless.
How can I get a place like that 😎 I have been homeless and would like to have more information about this project
I am so sorry my bro. May the Lord bless you very soon. To get you a safe place to live... God bless you..
But yet you have a smartphone and internet access,i'm sorry dude but if i was homeless and hungry,the first thing i will sell is my phone
I bet you would ,loser.
@@catharinavanstaden3243 having a phone is more vital than ever in this situation. To have human contact, look for work, talk to friends and family, and to be able to call for help if you are sick or in danger. No contract with a phone company is necessary .... there are WiFi spots to get online, use WhatsApp, maps, job sites.... etc.
Two years later, I hope the program is expanding. What a good guy for seeing a problem and acting on it. Too bad that big corporations, like Coca Cola (example off the top of my head) could not sponsor tiny house communities because the tax dollars available only go so far. They sponsor tons of fleeting things like sports events, concerts and special events. Imagine if they sponsored permanent tiny house communities. A little advertising would not hurt in exchange for a beautiful and much needed home.
Bc they're such a large Corp. they have to invest in large $$$.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏I have been homeless and it is beyond horrible thank you Sir for helping...
This needs national attention and something like this should be set up in all cities for the homeless
I’m still poor but I would be willing to offer my time and skills to anybody who needs help
Tiny home villages would help so many off the dangerous conditions of outdoor weather
I would love to buy up the mobile home parks and transform them into tiny home villages and giving people back a sense of pride in a place to live

Giving homeless people an address is important when job searching. Tiny houses are a wonderful idea. Xxxooo
It's very encouraging seeing the action of kind thoughtful people helping
I'm surprised more people aren't building small houses the houses could be A third that size so it wouldn't cost much to build enough for all the homeless I was homeless so I know the problem the problem is not being homeless the problem is not being able to build a tiny shelter that would only cost $200 I don't know the reason why people don't set aside 50 acres for the homeless to build on makes no sense to me it's good to see a slow start to the problem five millionaires could get together and solve the homeless problem in one night if regulations would allow it
Grog Martin Who? I’m not being a smart Alec, but who should set aside 50 acres and build smaller houses? Builders are going to build what they can sell, and homeless can’t get mortgages. The initial help has to be charity, then hopefully transitioning to independence. Churches used to care for the poor, and most still do. Govt has shown that big housing projects become slums. These tiny houses could be part of the solution, but there has to be ongoing care. They can’t just give somebody a house and walk away because most of them need more guidance to rise from the situation.
Grog Martin noticed exactly what you said, regulations. A lot of millionaires pulled themselves out of poverty. Therefore, they think others should do the same by making wise choices, especially when it comes to things such as drugs and alcohol.
Furthermore, people can’t give anything because someone has to pay the taxes for that land & someone has to pay to build those houses.
They need some shrubs and tree's.. Very awesome!!
Becky Lynn great project for Lowe’s, WalMart whose right up over the field!!
Up
Hope they put in a veggie garden and maybe raised some chickens for eggs, as a group project.
More drug stores and handouts.
Don't matter what size it is, its a home if you make it one..God bless on this...it give independence back to those who need it...love it..xo
Me and my husband want to build tiny homes for the homeless also!!! Our goal. I also want to have a shelter for the animals. Gotta help our nation!!!
So wonderful.
God bless all, who fight for those, who have little to no voice. God bless all who think of others, before them selves. God bless all, who have been threw so much, that most others would not survive. God bless all who fight to stay alive. God bless all who have been beat up by the world. Before we go and judge, and look at those who are on the street. Try to put your self in their shoes, and walk a mile with the weight of the world on your back, before you go and judge others. Just by looking at someone, you have no idea, what they have been threw. Have more compassion, and understanding. People do not choose to live on the streets. Just as they don't choose mental illness, and intense living situations. I command each one of us, in Jesus Christ's mighty name, to step out of our comfort zones, and reach out to the homeless, in some capacity. Weather buying coffee, or lunch, and getting to know that person, or volunteering in some way. To help those who are in need. One day, you could find your self, in their situation. You will be surprised at who will help you out. Who will show you the ropes, who will show you where to get free food and cloths, and a place to sleep. God bless each one of us. May the good lord soften each of our hearts, and give each of us a mission in life, that involves helping others in some way. Lord have mercy on our souls, amen.
AMEN!
