It’s called the Avivo Village — a shelter within a shelter. “We’re calling them tiny homes, they really are rooms,” says Emily Bastian, Avivo’s vice president of ending homelessness. “Something COVID-safe, something that they could know that their belongings are going to be secured. That they could lock things up when they weren't here. Where they could go 24/7." The $2 million dollar project was built in just four months.
