By being included in this event, tiny houses are further legitimized as an innovative solution to a wide range of housing needs. This is an important opportunity to speak directly to policymakers to give them a greater understanding of tiny house benefits.
The Innovative Housing Showcase is open to the public. Additionally, lawmakers and leaders in the housing industry will be in attendance.
