St Louis Homeless Project
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - Located on a former RV Park just north of Downtown St. Louis sits a village of 100 tiny homes. The brightly colored homes are part of a transitional housing program between the City of St. Louis and The Magdala Foundation.
​
“It means everything to me,” said Toni, one of the residents.
Toni moved in three months ago. The program provides housing, food and services like job placement and counseling. It’s funded by the city for around $1.2 million a year.
The plan is to expand in the new year.
Transitional Housing
To attain one of these Tiny Homes, the person must be referred by their case worker, and/or counselors.
Just Added
50 Tiny Homes
The City has already made arrangements to add an additional 50 homes here,” said Thomas Mangona, president of Magdala Foundation. “That’s going to be a big lift for people who want to get in here, it’s going to double the size of this place and it’s going to double our ability to help people get independent.”
​
Since launching in early 2021, they’ve successfully graduated 113 people. A successful graduate means someone who has found stable income and secured permanent housing.
The program can help a fraction of the unhoused population in St. Louis and it’s not for everyone.
Singles & Doubles
Every Tiny Home has some bedding, and toiletries to get started. It is there home for a certain time frame to allow them to establish themselves back into the workforce and life.
Warm in Winter, Cool in Summer
Every Tiny Home is equipped with a split unit that provides both heat and air conditioning. This makes such a huge difference for everyone needing to get out of the weather.
