The smallest home could have the biggest impact. When Andrew Lunetta saw the unlivable conditions many people in New York end up in after leaving shelters, he realised there was a desperate need for affordable and sustainable housing. He started A Tiny Home For Good, an organisation that builds micro homes out of low-cost materials. Previously homeless people who may not have been able to afford rent before are now equipped with everything they need, including support from professional care managers, to get back on their feet. Visit atinyhomeforgood.org to see the influence this has had on their lives. Footage by A Tiny Home For Good was used in the creation of this film.
