Des Moines is getting a tiny home village for people experiencing chronic homelessness.
One important detail: this is privately funded by Joppa, not simply a city-built housing project. The city has helped clear the path, and if the model works, the public benefit could be real — less pressure on emergency services, shelters, hospitals, outreach teams, public spaces, and cleanup efforts.
Do you think Des Moines should support more permanent supportive housing like this, or focus more on traditional shelters first? 🔗👇
