What is Circle City Village
Currently in the planning stage, Circle City Village is an initiative to build a tiny house community that serves as transitional housing where friends experiencing homelessness can find healing and take the next steps to a sustainable life in an environment where they are supported and embraced. We currently meet the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6 PM to discuss our plans. Email circlecityvillage@gmail.com for more information or to verify meeting time and location.
Below is a slideshow of our plan.
