Mission Statement
Operation Tiny Home assists people struggling with severe housing instability to maintain a life of dignity through custom high-quality tiny housing solutions and empowerment training programs.
About This Cause
Operation Tiny Home enables sustainable tiny housing solutions across the nation through the following programs: DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE: MATCH GRANT PROGRAM We provide Down Payment Assistance Match Grants for eligible tiny home buyers that are struggling with financial hardship and interested in tiny homeownership. Many potential tiny home buyers are well qualified for a loan and ready for homeownership; however, the down payment is often a hurdle too high to jump! TOOL DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM Through our Tool Distribution Program, we provide tools to like-minded organizations across the United States who need them most. Tool donations enable our community partners to build affordable tiny housing, maintain tiny home program facilities, rebuild after a natural disaster, provide vocational training while teaching tiny home construction and carpentry skills, and so much more. We put the necessary tools in their hands so they can do what they do best, create an impact in their community! BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE PROGRAM - TINY HOME BUILDING WORKSHOPS WITH ZACK GIFFIN Veterans, Native Americans, and Young Adults aging out of foster care are invited to join the Operation Tiny Home team and Zack Giffin, Co-host of A&E’s popular TV Series, Tiny House Nation to learn basic carpentry skills and building techniques while constructing a tiny home. The completed homes are then donated to support a fellow peer struggling with housing instability and homelessness in their community. Our workshops provide participants with the opportunity to become proficient with many of the tools common in home construction while learning about different types of building materials, the order of operation, and how each step affects the next, all the way through the project. Our dry-in workshops introduce basic and advanced skills such as reading and comprehending blueprints, foundation preparation, framing, window & door installation, exterior siding & trim, and general tiny home design concepts. Our finish carpentry workshops teach the last steps in the carpentry process, including installation of finish woods, trim, baseboards, stairs, and custom multi-functional furniture specifically designed for tiny home living. We welcome all skill levels! Our goal is that workshop participants have fun, learn some new skills, and make new friends!
