The mission is not just to build them housing, but to develop a community with a solid support system.
Wholistic Transformation, a faith-based organization in Tucson, wants to take shipping containers from the border wall and convert them into tiny homes for youth aging out of the foster care system.
Nearly 60% of men aging out of foster care will be convicted of a crime, and 70% of young women will become pregnant before 21, according to the nonprofit. Founder and CEO Bryan Benz wants to better position these young adults for success. At a recent event, Benz said each tiny home will be a one-bedroom house with a full kitchen, bathroom and washer and dryer, according to The Arizona Republic. Residents will get to customize the interior, from the cabinet styles to couch fabrics.So far, plans are to create a community of seven tiny homes made out of shipping containers on two adjoining lots belonging to the neighboring church, Bethel Community Baptist Church, The Arizona Republic said.
