micro-housing

While roughly the size of a shipping container, the model micro home on display this week in Point Pleasant Borough Hall shows off the more luxurious aspects of the project.

Homeless advocates are optimistic that when government officials and the public see what a Micro House actually looks like, they'll be more accepting of them in their communities.

The shut down of Tent City in Lakewood earlier this month is spurring greater advocacy for the homeless through the newly formed 'Tent City Movement.'

An ambitious effort is underway to convince Lakewood officials to welcome a pilot program for the homeless.
