A collection of tiny homes aiming to serve veterans at risk of homelessness is coming to a site at the heart of Dallas’ existing veterans services.
Veterans Community Project announced in late May that it would build a transitional housing project in Dallas. Bryan Meyer, the project’s CEO, said Dallas was selected because it’s a large population center where many people move to after serving in the military.
“I just thought that having something like our project in place for individuals who get out of the military — and maybe fall on hard times and things like that — that this would be a great place to do it,” Meyer said.
The project will create 50 transitional tiny homes at a site in East Oak Cliff. The homes will support veterans at risk or experiencing homelessness, according to the Veterans Community Project. Veterans living in the homes pay no rent and are asked to participate in a case management program, the nonprofit said.
