Eden Village, a tiny home community in Kansas City, Kansas, is set to expand with a new neighborhood aimed at providing stable housing for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness. The groundbreaking for the second site took place recently, with plans to construct 30 new homes by spring 2027. Rent will be $400 per month, inclusive of utilities, making it a viable option for those in need. The community will also offer wraparound mental health services and a supportive environment, addressing the significant affordable housing shortage in the region. Residents, like Cariann Lile, who spent years on the streets, have found safety and stability in their new homes. Lile, who has been living in Eden Village for a year and a half, expressed her gratitude, stating, 'I literally won the lottery.'
