City Embraces Tiny Homes on Wheels as Affordable Housing
- Since 2017, Robyn Davis has been residing full-time in a mobile tiny house in West Sacramento, where residing in such units is now permitted for the first time in the area.
- Davis and advocates argue that California's affordable housing challenges are exacerbated because most new homes are larger than what typical households, usually consisting of one or two individuals, actually need.
- Tiny home supporter Andrea Montano explained that these prefabricated homes cost under $100,000, can be moved on site, hooked up in weeks, and require less infrastructure.
- A recent San Diego settlement mandates that at least 70% of future affordable housing be located in moderate- and high-income neighborhoods to promote integration across the city.
- The settlement could alter affordable housing distribution, and advocates stress the need for more diverse housing options and consistent state regulations on tiny homes.
