Churches across the US are working with homeless charities to construct tiny home communities amid one of the worst housing affordability crises ever.
AP News says churches are using spare land to build tiny home communities to accommodate the homeless.
Meridian Baptist Church in El Cajon, California, partnered with local nonprofit Amikas to construct a tiny home community to address the homelessness crisis.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, Firm Foundation Community Housing, launched by Rev. Jake Medcalf, has erected a tiny home housing community in the parking lot of First Presbyterian Church of Hayward.
The First Christian Church of Tacoma in Washington erected an entire village of tiny homes in their parking lot.
Donald Whitehead, director of the National Coalition for the Homeless, told AP the move by churches across the country to build tiny home communities is a "Great emergency option" amid today's economy that hasn't worked for everyone.
Maybe all of these tiny home communities springing up at US churches should be dubbed "Bidenvilles," similar to the shacktowns built during the Great Depression in the 1930s called "Hoovervilles."
