Show Notes
Dignity First, a Bangor nonprofit, secures $2M federal grant from Senator Angus King to construct tiny homes for homeless individuals. The project aims to create permanent supportive housing, addressing the citys homelessness crisis and statewide shortage. Initially, a pilot program with around five tiny homes is planned, focusing on community support and long-term stability. Local leaders and Senator King emphasize the cost-effectiveness of this approach, comparing it to repeated emergency room visits or jail stays. The group aims to start within a year, using this as a test run before expansion.
