Tiny Town
In December 2020, many shelters across Victoria were forced to close due to the global pandemic, leaving our community’s most vulnerable with no other choice than to live in tent communities and parks throughout the City. Through this adversity Tiny Town was born; a safe and warm transitional housing community built from repurposed shipping containers.
With support from the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness, Our Place Society and the City of Victoria—as well as over 580 citizens and corporations who contributed over $550,000—we were able to cover the costs and execute the project within just six months providing homes to 30 residents since May 2021.
