and got one. Each home is
built on a concrete foundation,
meets building code requirements
for new construction,
and connects to city sewer,
water, and electric services.
Each tiny home is 240
square feet, or 360 square feet
for family houses (22 sq m or
33 sq m, respectively), and
features a bed, a small kitchen,
and a bathroom. Much like a
furnished studio apartment, the
tiny house provides everything
a veteran needs to live with
dignity and safety: new furniture,
appliances, housewares,
bedding, and utilities, free of
charge. All furniture and most
appliances are donated. Veterans
transitioning to permanent
housing keep the furniture
when they leave.
Beth Letscher, executive
director of ULI St. Louis, says
that " trauma-informed design "
pervades the architecture of
the tiny houses. Every detail
of the tiny homes has been

designed with combat veteran
needs in mind. Each house
has only one door and only
one window, and the layout is
configured so veterans have
their backs to the wall and can
see both the door and window
entrances, increasing the
sense of security for residents
affected by post-traumatic
stress.
Beyond such ongoing
effects of combat, the
trauma-induced design of the
tiny houses also addresses
racial trauma, from which
many minority village residents
are likely to suffer. Unlike PTSD,
which is linked to a particular
experience, racial trauma is
marked by continuous direct
and indirect exposure to
race-based stress. Symptoms
include fatigue, lack of focus,
hypervigilance, avoidance,
headaches, and heart palpitations.
The
Veterans Community
Project's goal is to get each
veteran ready for permanent
housing within two years.
Social services
Rebecca Tallman-retired from
the United States Air Force
and currently executive director
of the Veterans Community
Project in St. Louis-emphasizes
that the foundation of
the project's social services
program consists of five pillars:
physical and mental health and
well-being, income stability,
fiscal responsibility, education
and training, and network of
support, which together produce
a highly intensive process
of service delivery. Caseworkers,
each of whom is limited to
advising 10 veterans, discover
the root cause of each veteran's
homelessness through an
on-site community center.
Each veteran meets weekly
with a case manager to gain
incremental, lasting results in
areas of health and wellness,
education, financial literacy, and
