to Own a Home
The Tiny Homes experience provides a way to make that dream of home ownership a reality for low-income individuals.
In 2016, Cass Community Social Services began a grand experiment to build Tiny Homes in Detroit. With 25 225-500 sf houses already completed, the goal is to build 20 additional homes. Influencers and organizations from around the country have come to Cass to understand the Tiny Homes program, with hopes of replicating it in their own communities.

Room for 20 Homes
Tiny Homes residents also have access to all of CCSS’s array of services and programs. The benefits of a Tiny Home are many, but also consider the pride with which a homeowner can declare that they own their home. This is a practical way to provide affordable housing and allow an individual to own an asset.
CCSS owns unoccupied parcels of land where an additional 20 Tiny Homes can be constructed near where the current homes exist. The cost to do this is $2 million and will bring the total neighborhood of Tiny Homes to 45.

I have learned so much about the needs of others, I grew up as a person of privilege and learned early on at Cass that many individuals did not have the basic needs that I did growing up. They are a worthy organization, CARF accredited, recognized for their innovative approach to impacting generational poverty and the money goes to those in need.
