Tiny Homes With a Big Impact
Jimmy Rice, an Army Veteran from 1978 to 1982, and Charles Hewitt, an Army Veteran from 1970 to 1975, moved into the two houses this past summer.
“We are really, really excited to have the tiny homes here! It provides more affordable housing in our community, which everyone knows is a huge need.” said Amy Freeze, Director of Development with Fifth Street Ministries.
“These homes will allow Veterans that have been homeless for an extended period of time to regain the skills and confidence to live on their own in housing,” said Michele Knapp, Executive Director of Fifth Street Ministries.
Purple Heart Homes is proud to give Jimmy and Charles the “welcome home” they deserve.
