TINY HOUSE EMPOWERMENT VILLAGE

A transitional housing program for formerly unhoused young people ages 18-25 in East Oakland. Started by houseless youth and its advocates through Youth Spirit Artworks, the 2-acre former parking lot opened its 24 tiny house doors for its first cohort in 2021. Alongside its youth leaders, I had the opportunity to co-create with and steward this beloved community from its inaugural cohort until the spring of 2024.

Support their ongoing work in ending youth homelessness in Oakland and beyond.
