Tiny Homes Foundation

Kellie Parkin the Executive Manager of the Tiny Homes Foundation( www.tinyhomesfoundation.org.au) will be our Guest Speaker. Kellie will be talking about the potential of tiny homes to be used as social housing to alleviate the increasing homelessness that we now see in our communities.

Tiny Homes Foundation is a small charity making big waves, completing Australia’s first tiny-home pilot project for disadvantaged young people in 2018. Project Manager, Kellie Parkin led the pilot in Gosford through every stage of development including navigating design challenges, resolving a path through the planning system and managing the build on a difficult site in combination with training programs. Kellie’s background in communications and community advocacy ensures the charity’s ‘housing first’ model maintains its central focus – solving homelessness is possible with strong, collaborative partnerships between landowners, housing providers, and support services.

As you know our Rotary Club has been raising funds to support homelessness in the Mountains for the past eighteen months. We are now at a pivotal point in our journey and need your assistance. Please join us to hear Kellie tell her story and see where tiny homes fit into the social housing landscape.
