Description

Tiny houses are making a big impression. The lower cost and emphasis on an efficient use of space make tiny houses a compelling less-is-more, affordable housing option. Despite their popularity, the growth of tiny houses as a form of housing face many challenges. Next month the Housing and Demographic Research Center’s Friday Housing Forum will take on the topic of tiny houses in Georgia. Bring your lunch and come hear different perspectives on the feasibility of tiny houses as a form of housing. The Friday Housing Forum is free and open to the public.

Speakers include:

Will Johnston, Founder and Executive Director of Tiny House Atlanta

Melissa Link, Commissioner, Athens-Clarke County

Ted Miltiades, Director, Office of Construction Codes & Research, Department of Community Affairs
