Tiny Homes in Augusta one step closer to being finished
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – Tiny homes for foster youth aging out of the system are one step closer to being finished.
Bridge Builder Communities is building the first tiny home community designed for this group in Augusta.
Each tiny home will have the essentials like air conditioning as well as a kitchen area, a wardrobe and closet space.
Each person will also get assistance for education, career planning and other needs.
On Sunday, the builders and their community partners signed the homes to inspire the kids.
“When those kids age out of foster care, about 55% of them become homeless almost instantly. And so we’re taking those kids, we’re giving them an opportunity, not just providing safe, affordable housing, but life skills training, workforce initiatives, pathways, but more importantly, a community that cares for them so that they can transition successfully,” said Michael Cooper and Jackson Drumgoole of Bridge Builder Communities.
