New Tiny Home Development Focused on Supportive Housing for Homeless

Brent Warren | Columbus Underground | March 3, 2022

A new housing proposal is getting more attention than might be expected for a six-acre, 42-unit development near the corner of Refugee and Courtright Roads.

The project, to be called Vista Village, aims to provide supportive housing for formerly homeless individuals. The homes will also be tiny – about 420 square feet each.

Harvey Hook, chief engagement officer for Vista Village, says that plans for a second phase call for a significantly denser development that could hold between 80 and 100 tiny homes on an adjacent six-acre parcel. A community center will be built during the first phase and serve residents of the entire project.
