The Veterans Village of Northeast Florida, Inc. (VVNEFL) will be creating & maintaining a tiny house community for our homeless military veterans. This community will have all the resources that our homeless veterans will need to not only live a better life but to integrate back into society and the workforce if they are able to do so. This community is open to all veterans & their families to use not only the resources but to also enjoy everything this veteran's community will have to offer. We are seeking 125 acres on the Westside of town on which to begin this venture. 100 acres will be for houses & resources & the other 25 is for sustainable income to continue the mission of the VVNEFL.The tiny houses will be built in groups. Each group will have a central Care Center with military base themes like Key West, Hawaii, Japan, & many others. We will be building twelve 160 sq ft tiny houses per group, all compliant with Florida building codes including 4ft metal tie-downs that are set in concrete then welded to the container house. The tiny houses will be arrayed around each Care Center which will house the restrooms, shower facilities, a community kitchen, laundry room, etc. for each group. All buildings will be using renewable energy such as natural gas & solar panels & will contain tankless water heaters. We are looking to give our veterans a safe, dry place to call home. Each tiny house will have a bed, couch, fold-a-way table, TV with internet access, kitchenette with microwave, coffee pot, mini-fridge, A/C unit, heating and fan as well as a porch & a small yard.In addition to the areas mentioned above, we want to have a 5-acre fenced area with a separate entrance for military couples built to the same design as above but with more square footage to accommodate two people. We will also be helping the single parents with children by having both women's with children section & men's with children section that will come together with a play area
