And this pilot project has seen so much success, the city now has plans to launch two additional villages next year.

But the company behind this concept does call the Pacific Northwest city home.

Washington-based Pallet specializes in building prefab homes to shelter people who are unhoused because of natural and personal disasters.

And so far, this relatively new non-congregate shelter option has seen massive success across the US.

In early 2021, the city of Los Angeles and nonprofit Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission opened its first prefab tiny home village to shelter the California city’s growing unhoused population.

The goal of the project was to help people find stability and a permanent housing solution within a couple of months.

And just months after opening, the project — a “test case” for Los Angeles, Rowan Vansleve, CFO of Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission, previously told Insider — was deemed a massive success.

Since then, Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission has opened five more locations across Los Angeles, housing over 1,000 Los Angeles residents.

And it’s a success story that’s now being repeated in other cities as well.
