Project Tiny Hope Groundbreaking
A massive blitz build at the site of the YWCA St. Thomas-Elgin’s Project Tiny Hope is taking place over the next three days- with Doug Tarry Homes leading the charge!
They’ll be joined by local builders Wastell Homes, Collier Homes, Winmar Construction, MP Custom Homes, Mark Thomas, DHP Homes, and Woodfield Design and Build, in order to complete 8 tiny homes in just 3 days.
Each unit, located at 21 Kains Street, will feature a full kitchen, bathroom, laundry, private bedroom and living room, providing dignity and comfort to future tenants.
Doug Tarry Homes will also be building to a net-zero ready standard, ensuring energy efficiency and lower operating costs.
Doug Tarry expressed excitement about the project, stating, “It fills a desperately needed gap with the housing needs of our community. We are honored that so many other builders have agreed to participate in our blitz. We look forward to the opportunity to share this success and what is included in it with the housing industry and government throughout Ontario and Canada as we work to address the housing affordability crisis.”
YWCA Executive Director Lindsay Rice also praised the community’s support and the dedication of local builders, saying “It truly demonstrates the compassion, generosity and grit that our community proudly showcases.”
Though the event is not open to the public, live updates, photos, and videos will be shared on social media throughout the build.
myFM has been invited to attend and will also provide updates from the blitz build over the next three days.
