PETITION FOR TINY HOME RECOGNITION

Tiny homes are energy efficient, often very sustainable, affordable and a
critical piece of the puzzle to help ease the nationwide housing crisis.
Although tiny houses on foundations can often be permitted as a secondary
dwelling, tiny houses on wheels are often not recognised and therefore not able
to be lived in full time. We are advocating for policy change.

Please spare a few seconds to sign the petition to recognise all kinds of tiny
houses as a valid housing option.

Sign the petition! (Change.org)


GET INVOLVED
