Community in Property: Lessons from Tiny Homes Villages

This resource describes tiny homes in the U.S. and stewardship as a housing tenure or property relation that affords unhoused people access to land and space through co-management for individual and mutual benefit. The stewardship and co-management examples analyzed in this resource help formerly homeless people achieve self-realization, self-reconceptualization, independence, and access to productive communities because these property relationships provide some of the behavioral, psychological, and social benefits of ownership without the status of ownership.
