HOMELESSNESS IN LA: INNOVATION IN HOUSING - TINY HOMES VILLAGE TOUR

Nancy Hammerman (HBS PMD’69), Senior VP, Sutton Capital Partners and board member of Safe Parking LA, invites you to tour a Tiny Homes Village with CEO and founder, Ken Craft of Hope of the Valley. Solving homelessness requires innovative solutions---come see and learn more about these brightly colored structures that can be put up in just one hour at a cost of $55,000. The Tiny Homes villages serve unhoused men and women in and around Los Angeles neighborhoods.
