Comment on Tiny cottages for homeless people could be coming to Palm Beach County

Tiny cottages for homeless people could be coming to Palm Beach County

Palm Beach County officials are moving forward with a plan to curb homelessness through the introduction of tiny cottages. Beyond a place to sleep at night, these tiny homes would provide people with a bathroom, shower and kitchen. And in the face of Florida’s new law banning people from sleeping in public spaces such as in parks, bus stops, on the beach and on sidewalks overnight, this may provide a tangible solution, county officials say. “My job is making sure we have a workable solution to cure homelessness that doesn’t cost the taxpayers any more money,” said Palm Beach County Commissioner Maria Sachs, who has championed the tiny cottages idea. Palm Beach County would be the latest local government in South Florida exploring the idea of offering that type of housing.
