OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Preliminary work began in early March on a tiny home community to house teens living on their own in the Oklahoma City area. Students from Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City and from Metro Technology Centers are helping with construction on the first three homes and completed the framing last week.
As a part of services offered by local nonprofit Pivot: A Turning Point for Youth, the community eventually will feature 85 tiny homes to help homeless youth transition into adulthood with a viable means of self-support. Currently, the organization provides dorm-style housing and two efficiency apartments for homeless youth as young as 12, The Oklahoman reported.
