GiveBIG! to Build Tiny Homes for the Homeless in 2026

Do you prefer to donate by Check, Venmo, Crypto, Stock, directly from your Donor Advised Fund or IRA, or another method?

Our tiny homes are wood-frame construction and well insulated, with two operable windows and a locking front door, all architect-designed to last at least twenty years. Our homes also offer electrical outlets, an overhead light, space heaters, and even a/c! These are substantial and dignified temporary homes that offer stability, security, and community.

Our 15,000 s.f. building facility in SoDo, The Hope Factory, hosts 20-30 daily volunteers working on our assembly-line-style and no-experience-necessary building system, constructing roughly 12 homes at a time, six days per week. Roughly 4 out of 5 homes you see in the most recent Tiny Home Villages were built by us. With our system, SFNW builds 35-40 tiny homes, an entire village’s worth, in about 10 weeks.

Once in a village, residents have access to shared restroom/shower facilities, stocked kitchens and laundry rooms, counseling, treatment, education, and community-building. Consequently our city streets, parks, and tourist attractions are once again more available for everyone’s enjoyment. Tiny Homes have shown over time to be the most desirable, most effective, and most affordable solution to moving people off the streets, out of tents and encampments, and ready to transition permanently out of homelessness -- and the data backs us up. Villages can be designed and completed in just a few months, and a 40-home village can be built, installed, and operated for a small fraction of the cost of other non-congregate shelter models. There are currently 22 tiny home villages operating around Puget Sound.

Through our all-volunteer building model, we build one tiny home for just $4500 worth of materials and our homes are built to last 20 years. Based on current averages, each transitional tiny home provides a warm, safe, and dry space to bring up to 3 people off the streets each year – meaning up to sixty sheltered citizens over the life of each home.

Mayor Katie Wilson has launched an ambitious expansion plan to add 1000 new units of enhanced shelter, including tiny homes & villages, by year's end. We need your help to meet the moment!

Please make a generous one-time or ongoing donation, today. If your situation allows, please consider sponsoring one or more complete tiny homes at the $4500 level. Know that your gift, at any amount, makes a visible difference as we build beyond our 750th tiny home and continue to bring our neighbors inside and off the ground.

Thank You!
