Phase I created a new shop for building tiny homes (OM Build), a new retail space for items build in our shop (OM Good), and a residential area for tiny homes (OM Village)
OM Build is a community based project that builds Tiny Homes with and for people without houses.
OM Build and OM Village are projects of Occupy Madison, Inc. a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization. Occupy Madison, Inc. is 100% volunteer driven and does not receive any money from the government or other large charities. Everything that has been accomplished, so far, has been done through local donations and individual loans. It Takes a Village to Build a Village! 100% of your donation will work towards the construction of tiny homes and the operation of the village.
Tiny Homes are a sustainable, cost-effective approach for people without current safe housing to work towards a safe and stable living situation. People thrive when they are active and valued participants in the creation of their own lives and communities versus being the passive recipients of aid. OM Village is providing this opportunity.
Phase I of OM Village transformed a vintage filling station into a first of its kind community. While there are other similar, and laudable, projects in places like Oregon and Texas, OM Village is the first of its kind in the nation in that it is situated within an existing neighborhood, allowing for new friendships across barriers that aren't often crossed.
OM Village is a democratically self-governed community made up of individual Tiny Homes plus common facilities such as 3 bathrooms (including 2 showers one of which is handicap accessible), a workshop for building the tiny homes and OM Goods, and a small retail space for displaying and selling
OM Goods such as repurposed pallet holiday trees, plant stands, window boxes, and various arts & crafts. The village has large raised bed garden areas and hopes to add a greenhouse, urban chickens and bees.
