After being unhoused since 2007, Eugene resident Todd drew on the lessons in construction from his father and built his own, two-level tiny home.

The two-story tiny home hand-built by Eugene resident Todd , who had been unhoused since 2007, sits on property owned by the Union Pacific Railroad . After being unhoused since 2007, Eugene resident Todd drew on the lessons in construction from his father and built his own, two-level tiny home "I spent a lot of time salvaging stuff and then packing it on my bike and cart, a little bit at a time," he told KVAL.

Todd's tiny home resembles an accessory dwelling unit , which the city must approve on private and public property. Eugene's land use code requirements include precise measurements for walkways and front yards. ADUs also must adhere to fire codes, electrical codes, and height limitations. Union Pacific Railroad owns the right-of-way property where Todd's tiny home resides. We asked them if they knew about Seneca camp and Todd's house. In a statement to our newsroom, they didn't acknowledge the camp or give any answers about how or when they plan to address the makeshift home., a nonprofit that provides individual Conestoga huts in a village-style community, individual and group shelters serve different segments of the homeless population.
