According to the release, it was Denver&rsquo;s first temporary tiny home village and is a successful pilot of using tiny homes to help vulnerable or marginalized residents aiming to find permanent homes.</p></em><br /><br /><p>"In residential zone districts, these villages must be located on the grounds of a public, civic or institutional use, such as a school, church or community center," Fox reports. The tiny home villages will be able to remain in these locations temporarily for up to four years, it is a creative approach to the problem of homelessness in major cities. Based on the outcome it will be interesting to see if more will follow.</p>
