Millionaire Builds 99 Tiny Homes to Cut Homelessness in His Community–He Even Provides Jobs On Site for Them.

After selling out for eight figures to a competitor, a New Brunswick entrepreneur is using all that cash to build a community of tiny homes for those who need it most.

In the city of Fredericton, his factory is churning out 1 tiny home every 4 business days in a bid to create the 12 Neighbours gated community of 99 homes and an enterprise center to give homeless Frederictonians a real second chance.

12 Neighbours founder Marcel LeBrun had a successful social media monitoring company which he sold to an American competitor, and is now putting his new money where his mouth was—every time he used to say something needed to be done about the homelessness problem in the city.

LaBrun has critics who believe it’s better to introduce them back into a functional society rather than sequester them together.

I see no difference between that and a gated community for 55+ only. What is the difference? It's not like he's keeping them from going out of the community. I think what he is doing is awesome and his critics can shut up.

We live in a gated community and love it there is no difference spice.

I feel much safer in a gated community than in a suburb these days.

Excellent idea and to have a roof over ones head is surely better than sleeping on the streets.
