Something considered tiny for some can be huge for others.
That's the case for some of California's unsheltered homeless community, which hopes to benefit from a promise by state officials nearly a year ago to provide over a thousand tiny home shelters free of charge.
Gov. Gavin Newsom committed $1 billion in March to address the state's homelessness crisis with tiny homes in Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, and San Jose.
California has one of the most severe homeless problems in the country. There are over 180,000 homeless people in the state, according to 2023 data, the latest available. That alarming statistic accounts for 28% of America's total homeless population.
