Our tiny homes currently cost about $4500 ea. worth of materials to build (Summer, 2024). We keep costs so low because we use a nearly 100% volunteer building crew. Only 3% of our costs are administrative costs. By comparison, in July 2021, King County purchased a former hotel for $28.25M to provide transitional housing for up to 144 people – a rate of $196,181 per person. Other factory-built shelter providers charge 4x-10x more than our homes.
