'Tiny' shelters aim to bring big change in Elkhart County

ELKHART -- The foundations are poured, wall frames and ceiling trusses are on their way, and by the end of the summer, a new “tiny” living concept is expected to make a big difference in Elkhart County.
The Faith Mission of Michiana and the Crossing School of Business & Entrepreneurship broke ground last week on a $300,000 effort to provide short-term housing for homeless people in and around Elkhart.
Inspired by a trend growing nationally, a dozen 12-by-16 tiny shelters will provide one-night or brief-stay housing through Faith Mission’s Low Barrier Shelter program, created in 2019.
The Low Barrier Shelter program already serves about 50 people seeking emergency shelter through communal housing, Faith Mission Resource/Development Director Mike Perez said.
