More than 1,500 formerly unhoused people moved indoors from the streets after Atlanta initiated a 2024 program transforming shipping containers and a former parking lot into housing. Austin, Texas, established a community of tiny homes for 370 previously unhoused individuals. In Multnomah County, Oregon, the Clinton Triangle tiny home village was set up to help unhoused individuals reach the goal of stable housing. Of the 459 people who have left the village, 69 percent moved into permanent housing.
