Mercuty News -If everything goes according to plan, San Jose should have 80 tiny homes ready by the summer to house formerly homeless people while they get back on their feet.
“This has been a long time coming,” said Mayor Sam Liccardo on Monday, as the city unveiled a prototype showing how the homes will look.
Most of the hard-sided cabins will have 80 square feet of interior space, while several will have 120 square feet for people with mobility challenges. Each will have windows, a light and at least one power outlet, along with a smoke detector and lockable door.
The prototype, which will be on display outside City Hall through Wednesday, featured a twin bed on one side with drawers underneath and a bench on the other side with more storage below it.
Residents of what are officially known as bridge housing communities will share bathrooms, showers, laundry facilities, kitchen space and common areas with computers, internet access and job boards.
