The Homing Project aims to give people a roof over their heads with a village of micro-homes. They expect the project to be set up by the end of the year.
There's a common scene in streets and parks across Tucson — dozens of unsheltered people huddling under any shade they can find. The city reports over 1,000 people were experiencing homelessness last year, with about 854 of those unsheltered.
"There are many people on the street who do not want to be there and we want to do everything we can to end that,” Garewal said. "They’re kind of like dorm like structures, they have locks on the doors, storage space, beds, AC, and things like that," Garewal said."We want to set up a community, to start with about 30 of these with communal bathrooms and shower," he said.
