I support amending laws to allow tiny homes/houses and to require municipalities to revoke the - at least local to me - enormous permit fees. Certified THOWs are structurally stronger, more environmentally friendly and moveable in case of fire, impending flood, etc. than brick and mortar homes, and much more affordable. Well managed, smaller units can also provide a solution to homelessness, or at least decent shelter for those who simply need a place to sleep, and could solve many problems in this area for communities.
There are many, many who are ready, willing and able to move into a THOW, if only there were more legal spaces on organised land to park.
Good luck with this proposed policy change!
(I would encourage municipal, provincial and federal housing officials to attend the Tiny Home Show in Ancaster at the end of this month. I went last year and had every single question on my long list answered. THOWs are very, very doable. They just need a more open-minded understanding from all levels of government in Ontario.)
Thank you for providing this opportunity and listening.
