Cabins on Wheels

Upcoming Project
We have a local builder who can build 30 tiny house frames that will be delivered on a flat bed truck and assembled on-site. They will meet all codes, and provide permanency (for some), privacy, safety, warmth and community to our villagers who now sleep outdoors. So excited to be planning our set-up!

Upcoming Project
Hope’s Village will have an organic vegetable & flower farm that will provide an opportunity for villagers to develop valuable skills while experiencing the healing effects of working in the dirt. The farm will contribute to the village’s self-sufficiency while providing a source of fresh produce for the village and broader community.
RV's for Veterans
Upcoming Project
RV's for Veterans
We've now passed on 140 RVs (motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, SUVs, and autos) and have more veterans on the waitlist. We're not getting many donated vehicles because too many folks are now living in their vehicles due to the economy. If you have a registered vehicle in decent shape please call Becky at 805-234-5478.
Our tiny houses will be built by a lumber company in Santa Margarita (we prefer using local talent) with sustainable building methods. They will be structurally sound, well-insulated, and provide a warm and dry place for our veterans and other houseless people to sleep and be safe. They will last as long as any other stick-built house.
We are grateful to the Cal Poly Construction Management students who built us two tiniy houses on wheels. They were so happy to help! We hope to work again in the Fall with architecture faculty to design a site plan for Hope's Village.
services
Since the outbreak of Covid in March 2020, we've been "takin' it to the streets." One of our 16 outreach volunteers is on the street almost every day delivering food, water, and other necessities for living outside. They travel throughout the City of San Luis Obispo. We are fortunate to have such amazing volunteers who give unselfishly of their time and energy so that others won't go hungry or be cold at night.
ON OUR WISH LIST
We are always in search of new or clean and gently-used tents and nylon sleeping bags that go down to 30 degrees; large backpacks, and dark tarps. Those living on the streets greatly appreciate these essential items to make their nights a bit more comfortable while having to live outdoors.
