It takes a village to build a village! Help build the first Youth Tiny House Village in the US. Be an ally to homeless youth!
Youth Spirit Artworks is building a Youth Tiny House Village serving 22 homeless Oakland and Berkeley young people, ages 18 to 25, opening in August 2020 at 633 Hegenberger Rd in Oakland. We need your help!
