Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D) has approved the development of a village of tiny houses for the city's homeless veterans, ABC News reports.
According to the publication, Barrett approved a zoning file authorizing the development of 7 acres of land on Monday. Veterans Outreach of Wisconsin – a nonprofit that works to provide housing and assistance to homeless veterans – is spearheading the initiative.
The village will be the second of its kind developed by the nonprofit, which began as a food pantry in 2013 before expanding its operations to include such housing projects in 2016.
The design for the Milwaukee village, which is set to open next summer, will be based on the group's first veterans village that opened in 2017 in Racine, Wis., Barrett said.
