A local organization, We Fortify, has come up with a proactive solution to help young adults who are homeless, or on the verge of losing their home.
Shelley Jensen, founder of the 501 c(3) nonprofit, has researched housing models for years.
Jensen came up with Working Fusion at Mill Street.
The tiny home community is geared towards young adults, ages 18-25, in our community who face homelessness.
Home owners will be allowed to live in the home for up to two years, and are required to pay rent.
