Native America Calling: Innovative ideas for addressing Native homelessness
Monday, September 6, 2021
Homelessness is an unfortunate reality for a disproportionate number of Native Americans, especially in urban areas. Some tribes are having some success with ‘tiny homes’ as one solution.
The Menominee tribe recently completed tiny home village on their reservation in Wisconsin. The Puyallup Tribe is planning a similar project in Tacoma.
The homes with a small footprint and lower costs than conventional sized dwellings, but they are not always welcomed by surrounding neighborhoods.
Note: This is an encore show so Native America Calling won’t be taking live listener phone calls.
