Social Enterprise Initiative

International human rights law acknowledges everyone's right to an adequate

standard of living, which includes the right to adequate housing.

We at Nine Mile North Tiny Homes and Domes are committed to building affordable

housing and to working with communities to help solve the serious housing crisis facing

many people.

As a social enterprise, Nine Mile North Tiny Homes and Domes is committing 1% of its

sales to building truly affordable housing. This 1% (approx. $1500.00/Tiny Home built)

will be used to support local initiatives through a multi-pronged approach.

Our Strategy:

1. Laneway Homes: Recently the provincial government has followed the

recommendations of the Ontario Housing Task Force to allow for laneway homes

and garden suites in our major cities: “Building more homes will reduce the

competition for our scarce supply of homes and will give Ontarians more housing

choices”. With this development, we are developing a strategy to encourage

homeowners to build these secondary/affordable rental properties.

2. Developing Affordable Housing Communities: Initiatives like the 12

Neighbours program aim to create micro-home communities. Their extensively

researched model follows three simple principles:

PROVIDE dignity, purpose, opportunity, and community for a HEALTHY IDENTITY to build IMPROVED CIRCUMSTANCES, which loops back to further fuelling the first part.

3. Education: Teaching valuable skills to individuals in order to help them find

profitable employment. With this directive we will be working with and consulting

Trainee programs in local communities and encouraging clients to build and learn

with our team.
