Kansas City Tiny-House Village For Veterans Is A Model For Other Cities, Hartzler Says

A Kansas City-based project aimed at helping end homelessness among veterans was touted as a national model Wednesday by United States Rep. Vicky Hartzler, R-Missouri, who toured the campus of the Veterans Community Project in south Kansas City.

The project is a village of tiny homes near 89th Street and Troost Avenue to house veterans until they can get back on their feet. It also helps them find permanent housing and jobs, among other services. Since the project began in 2015, it has grown so much that has expanded from one site on the east side of Troost at 89th Street to include facilities on the west side of Troost as well.
