About Our Backyard Homes

... is a 501(c)3 organization founded to serve the youth of LA's homeless community with micro-housing options near their places of livelihood. ​

Our aspirational program is our student scholarship housing program, giving housing-insecure college students residencies in our micro-homes on backyards near campus. Courtesy of incentivized and symbiotic partnerships with local residents and funding sources to build our homes, our program brings communities together to solve the critical issue of homelessness in our backyards--with land literally in our backyards. ​

This is uncharted territory in the world of homeless housing and so is our organization! We're a collection of passionate volunteers pursuing change in the way city residents view living spaces, eager to make change in the longterm landscape of urban affordable housing.

Our Backyard Homes: Tiny homes. Big solutions.
