St. Louis plans village of tiny homes for the homeless

They’re called Tiny Homes.

St. Louis is the latest city with plans for a village of tiny homes to help provide shelter for the homeless, and the funding is coming from a federal program for COVID-19 relief.

Mayor Lyda Krewson on Tuesday announced plans for 50 tiny homes on property near downtown that was previously the site of an RV park.

Krewson plans to use $600,000 of the $32 million in federal CARES Act money to build the homes and lease the land.
