Jania Harris urges Sacramento residents to help build tiny homes for transitional housing
Summary
Jania Harris, a program fellow with the Sacramento Sustainability Academy and Sierra Service Project, described a student-led program training participants in architectural, electrical and mechanical work to build tiny homes as transitional housing and urged community volunteers to get involved.
Jania Harris, a program fellow with the Sacramento Sustainability Academy who works with the Sierra Service Project, told a community forum she and other students are learning to design and build tiny homes to help address the transitional housing crisis.
"I'm working on transitional housing crisis with building tiny homes for the community," Harris said, describing hands-on training that includes architectural plans, electrical plans and mechanical plans. She said participating in every step of the project makes students feel like they are actively helping their neighbors rather than "working from a distance."
Harris appealed directly for public involvement: "Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Your community needs you too. Your voice is just as impactful as the next or the next or the next," she said, urging residents to volunteer with the program. She concluded by reiterating that the community needs volunteers and participation to advance the tiny-home effort.
The presentation was delivered in a single testimony by Harris; the transcript does not specify next steps, dates, contact information or funding sources for the project.
