Inspirations for Teaching Growth & Planning

Articles and Ideas here help shape my practice and change my lessons. I'm using this as both a clarifying place and an imaginative place, so what you see here is not the finished product but the origins of ideas. I hope to record how they flow from idea through research to planning. Eventually, I'd like to revisit the original ideas here and report how they came to fruition and what the results were.

Can tiny houses help fix homelessness?

Mother Jones - Similar projects to put tiny roofs over people's heads have popped up in a handful of US cities. This new approach to homelessness offers the physical protection of a traditional shelter without sacrificing the autonomy of life on the street. And it's undoubtedly time for some new options: An estimated 578,424 Americans had no home in 2014. While twenty-eight percent of renter households live below the poverty line, the typical new apartment in 2012 was unaffordable to anyone making under $43,000.
